    I have an external light sensor that I use to trigger garden lights etc when the light level drops below a cetain point. Is there any way of using a timer to turn the lights off after a certain time?

    can you use a scene and pulse the garden lights and use trigger control to trigger the scene with the light level sensor? And use a schedule to just disable and enable the times which the light level sensor is activated so once the time has run out the light level sensor will not retrigger the scene if the light levels drop? Unless there's no pac or touch screen on site....

    The Light Level Sensor has an Enable/Disable group.

    To Enable/Disable the sensor remotely, create a new group address and assign it to this function in the Toolkit UI for the Light Level sensor. Then, assign this same group address to a button on a key input unit and program the key as an On/Off function.

    When you press the key on the key input unit, it will enable and disable the Light Level sensor.
