This is a fairly common question, if you search the forum you will find a number of different approaches to it. Most recently, see the topic “baby sleeping” which addresses a similar issue but from the other side:
I have the lights in my nursery set to turn on when motion is detected which is awesome!! But now that the baby is starting to nap in her crib and i want to be able to quickly disable the motion sensing for the over head lights in just her room.
I have tried to create a new mode “baby sleeping” that disables the motion sensing in that room and it seems to work fine, but the problem is that the only way i can find to change the mode is from my smart tiles interface. I need it to be as easy as possible for my wifes sake.
I would love to have it setup so that if i double click the smart light switch in her room it will automatically change the homes mode to baby sleeping. It would also be nice to double tap it in the on position to get everything back to my normal home mode.
Any advice wou…
And for the exact same question as yours, here’s one approach:
One of my biggest issues with my smartthings is that if I program a light to come on when a door opens, then go off in an amount of time, if the light was on to begin with then it shuts off when it shouldn’t.
Is there a way to have the program check to see if the light is already on before it runs it’s event program of turning the light on then shut off in x minutes?
Thanks!
