Defining Scenes
The system can automatically activate various devices when certain events occur based on predefined Scenes.
Trigger
Defines the event that triggers the programmed action(s).
Triggers include the following categories:
Time
Security
Thermostat

Condition
Defines an optional event that puts a condition on the trigger. If a condition is set, the condition must
exist at the time of the trigger for the action to occur. Conditions include the same categories as
triggers. However, conditions cannot be set with the same category as the trigger. (ex., if setting a
trigger event for security, you cannot use security as a condition).

categories:
