Living Room Automation Using Homey Pro & FP2


Triggers:

  1. Motion alarm turned on → FP2 motion detected.
  2. Motion alarm turned off → FP2 motion stopped.
  3. Zone became occupied → FP2 detects someone in the living room.
  4. Zone became free → FP2 sees no one anymore.
  5. Timer Living Room reaches 0 → Long countdown ended.
  6. Timer Living Room² reaches 0 → Short fade-out countdown ended.

Conditions (green blocks):

  • Temperature > 76°F → decides when to run the ceiling fan.
  • Light Turned on = yes → checks whether the living room light was already on.

Actions (blue blocks):

  • Fan ON (motion detected + temp > 76°F).
  • Fan OFF (motion cleared).
  • Light dim to 100% (zone occupied, but only if light is already on).
  • Stop both countdown timers (when zone occupied).
  • Start Living Room timer (300s) (when zone free, but only if light was on).
  • When Living Room timer = 0 → Light dims to 20%, then starts Living Room² timer (20s).
  • When Living Room² timer = 0 → Light turns off.

Flow Logic (sequence):

  1. Person enters room
  • Motion detected → If hot (>76°F) → Fan turns ON.
  • Zone occupied → If light is on → brighten to 100%.
  • Zone occupied → Both timers reset/stopped (so lights don’t shut off while someone’s there).
  1. Person leaves room
  • Zone becomes free → If light is on → start Living Room 300s timer.
  1. After 5 minutes (300s)
  • Light dims to 20%.
  • Starts Living Room² 20s timer .
  1. After 20s
  • Light turns off completely.
  1. Motion alarm off (extra trigger)
  • Fan turns off right away (not tied to zone free).

Strengths:

  • Fan control based on temp + motion = efficient.
  • Dual countdown system → gives smooth transition: On → Dim → Off.
  • Timers reset on re-entry → prevents false shutoffs.
  • Zone occupancy prioritized over raw motion → more reliable for seated activity.
