Home automation ‘Scenes’ triggers

Does alarm.com have triggers available for scenes, so for instance automatically at sunset……turn on 3 lights?

Scenes themselves do not have triggers other than pressing the corresponding scene button in Alarm.com.

Capabilities that make the house looked lived in when no one is home, and regularly turn on the lights that are always used when home.

You can create a variety of Automation Rules based on criteria such as sensor status, panel arming status, etc. You can incorporate Scenes into these rules as well.

Automation rules that are triggered with locking or arming actions are not eligible to trigger scenes that contain the following actions:

  • Unlocking a lock
  • Disarming the panel
  • Opening a garage door
  • Opening a gate

When performing actions that increase the security of the system, scenes that include actions which counteract this will be excluded as options
