Nyce Control “How To’s” – #003

Garage Lighting using Door/Window Sensor NCZ-3011

and Motion Sensor NCZ-3041 2013-01-01

In our series of “How To’s” we assume a dealer level of Composer knowledge and that the automation discussed is being added to an existing Controller and project.

DESCRIPTION In this “How To” we show how to use the Nyce Control Door/Window Sensor (NCZ-3011) and the Nyce Control Motion Sensor (NCZ-3041) in conjunction with a Control 4 Wireless Dimmer (C4-DIM1-Z) to automate the lighting in a garage. This installation is for a two-car garage with a single entry door from the home and overhead incandescent lights in addition to the garage door opener lights. The steps shown here can easily be expanded for larger, multi-car garage installations.

DESIRED FUNCTIONALITY To provide useful functionality to the home owner, this installation must do the following:

Turn the overhead lights on when the door to the garage is opened

Keep the overhead lights on while there is someone present in the garage

Turn the overhead lights off 5 minutes after no-one is present in the garage

PRODUCT CHOICES As the area to automate has a single door edge which opens and closes, the Nyce Control Door/Window

Sensor (NCZ-3011) is the correct choice for this application.

As the area to automate is a large indoor open space, the Nyce Control Motion Sensor (NCZ-3041) is the correct choice for this application.

The light to be controlled has no requirement for a dimming function, but unfortunately the existing light switch location has no access to a 120VAC neutral connection, so the Control 4 Wireless Dimmer (C4-DIM1-Z) is the correct choice for this application.

15 PROGRAMMING THE DOOR/WINDOW SENSOR, MOTION SENSOR AND WIRELESS DIMMER Providing the desired functionality requires the creation of a timer for the light and the linking of the door, motion sensor and timer events to the turning on/off of the light. A timer is an excellent tool in Composer for controlling lights as it allows for the light to be turned off after a period of time to insure energy savings to the customer. 15.1 CREATING A TIMER In the “Agents” column select “Timer”. Press the “New” button and a window will pop up to create a new Timer. Give the Timer a name and it will be added to the list in the “Timers” column, in our case “Garage Lights”. Set the timeout period for the Garage Lights, in our case 5 minutes.

15.2 PROGRAMMING THE TIMER TO TURN OFF THE LIGHT The first step is to link the condition of the timer expiring to the shutting off of the light. In the “Programming” column select “Timer”. Change the Timer selection to “Garage Lights” and select “When the ‘Garage Lights’ expires”.


Tel: 604-473-9800 Fax: 604-473-9801



In the “Actions” column select “Garage Lights”. In the “Garage Lights Actions” column select “Off”. Drag the Green Arrow action into the “Script” column. The Garage Lights will now turn off when the Garage LIghts timer expires after 5 minutes.

15.3 HOMEOWNER FORGETTING TO TURN OFF THE LIGHT If the homeowner manually turns on the light, then leaves without turning it off or triggering the motion sensor, we want the timer to automatically turn off the light. In the “Programming” column select “Garage Lights”. In the “Garage Lights Events” column select “Top Button Pushed”.


Tel: 604-473-9800 Fax: 604-473-9801



In the “Actions” column select “Garage Motion Sensor”. In The “Garage Motion Sensor Actions” column, under the “Conditionals” tab, select “The Garage Motion sensor is not sensing motion”. Drag the Green Arrow action into the “Script” column. We want the next action, which is starting the Garage Lights timer, to only happen if the Garage Motion Sensor is not already sensing motion.

In the “Actions” column select “Timer”. In The “Timer Actions” column select “Garage Lights” and “Start Timer ‘Garage Lights’”. Drag the Green Arrow action into the “Script” column on top of the “?” symbol. The Garage Lights timer will now start when the Top Button of the Garage Lights Wireless Dimmer is pushed only if the Garage Motion Sensor has not sensed motion recently.


Tel: 604-473-9800 Fax: 604-473-9801



15.4 PROGRAMMING THE DOOR/WINDOW SENSOR Now the opening of the door must be linked to the starting of the timer and the turning on of the light. 15.4.1 DOOR OPENING In the “Programming” column select “Garage Entry Door”. In the “Garage Entry Door Events” column select “When the Garage Entry Door opens”.

In the “Actions” column select “Garage Lights”. In the “Garage Lights Actions” column select “On”. Drag the Green Arrow action into the “Script” column. The Garage Lights will now turn on when the Garage Entry Door opens.


Tel: 604-473-9800 Fax: 604-473-9801



In the “Actions” column select “Garage Motion Sensor”. In The “Garage Motion Sensor Actions” column, under the “Conditionals” tab, select “The Garage Motion sensor is not sensing motion”. Drag the Green Arrow action into the “Script” column. We want the next action, which is starting the Garage Lights timer, to only happen if the Garage Motion Sensor is not already sensing motion.

In the “Actions” column select “Timer”. In The “Timer Actions” column select “Garage Lights” and “Start Timer ‘Garage Lights’”. Drag the Green Arrow action into the “Script” column on top of the “?” symbol. The Garage Lights timer will now start when the Garage Entry Door is opened only if the Garge Motion Sensor has not sensed motion recently.


Tel: 604-473-9800 Fax: 604-473-9801



15.5 PROGRAMMING THE MOTION SENSOR Now the Motion Sensor sensing and not-sensing motion must be linked to the starting and stopping of the timer and the turning on of the light. 15.5.1 SENSING MOTION In the “Programming” column select “Garage Motion Sensor”. In the “Garage Motion Sensor Events” column select “When the Garage Motion Sensor senses motion”.

In the “Actions” column select “Garage Lights”. In the “Garage Lights Actions” column select “On”. Drag the Green Arrow action into the “Script” column. The Garage Lights will now turn on when the Garage Motion Sensor senses motion.


Tel: 604-473-9800 Fax: 604-473-9801



In the “Actions” column select “Timer”. In The “Timer Actions” column select “Garage Lights” and “Stop Timer ‘Garage Lights’”. Drag the Green Arrow action into the “Script” column. The Garage Lights timer will now stop when the Garage Motion Sensor senses motion, to insure that Garage Lights will stay on as long as it is sensing motion.

15.5.2 NOT SENSING MOTION In the “Garage Motion Sensor Events” column select “When the Garage Motion Sensor stops sensing motion”.


Tel: 604-473-9800 Fax: 604-473-9801



In the “Actions” column select “Timer”. In The “Timer Actions” column select “Garage Lights” and “Start Timer ‘Garage Lights’”. Drag the Green Arrow action into the “Script” column. The Garage Lights timer will now start when the Garage Motion Sensor stops sensing motion. This will allow the Garage Lights Timer to turn off the Garage lights once it expires.

16 INSTALLATION AND PROGRAMMING COMPLETE All devices have now been added and identified and all programming is complete. Select the “Garage” room in the “System Design” column and device behavior can be observed in the “List View” column.
