In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to set a local smart scene using sunrise or sunset as a trigger on a Honeywell Tuxedo Keypad Z-Wave Controller. Being able to create smart scenes with time-based triggers of your local sunrise or sunset is only possible when building the scene locally at the Tuxedo Keypad. If you try to make the smart scene remotely through Total Connect 2.0, then sunrise and sunset trigger options will not be available. This makes the local scenes slightly more valuable, and you may want to save some for use with sunrise or sunset triggers. For reference, the Tuxedo Keypad supports ten (10) local scenes and twenty (20) remote smart scenes through Total Connect 2.0.
A smart scene will have one or more predetermined actions occur automatically when a trigger takes place. The trigger could be something like arming or disarming the system or faulting a certain sensor on the system. You can even set a condition that will tell the smart scene to only go through if a certain prerequisite is validated when the trigger occurs. For example, you might have a smart scene that occurs at sunrise or sunset, but only if your system is in a disarmed state. In other words, in that hypothetical example, even if a time-based trigger of the sunrise time or sunset time occurred, the smart scene wouldn't occur if the system was armed away or armed stay based on the optional condition that was set.
