Indoor motion detector light and ventilator in a small room
In this step-by-step plan, an indoor motion detector in a bathroom is coupled to a lamp and a ventilator. The bathroom has a small window through which daylight can enter.
The starting point for this step-by-step plan is a project in which all of the various inputs, outputs and actions are defined.
If you do not yet have a project, follow the steps in adding a new project and thereafter in drawing a plan or upload a background image.

Select an existing location from the selection list, or click on add a location if the location has not previously been defined.
Click on modify basic settings.
A pop-up window appears.
If necessary, modify the Switch-off delay.

You go to the time automation tab.
Click save.
You return to the start screen of the Creation step.

If necessary, enter a delay under stop behaviour to ensure that the ventilator continues to operate after the light has been switched off.
Click continue.
You go to the conditions tab.
Click continue.
You go to the time automation tab.
As a result of the switch-off delay and the delay in the stop behaviour of the ventilator, there is no need to define a time automation.
