CHAPTER 8:  Creating and Managing Scenes 

 
This chapter will provide an explanation of what constitutes a “scene” (i.e. a combination of control levels 
for lighting, temperature, blinds and other z-wave devices), with step-by-step illustrated instructions for 
the user to: 

 

Create custom Scenes using the paired Z-wave devices added in Chapter 6;  

 

Map the custom Scenes to the Activities created in Chapter 7; 

 

Update the remote and test the device and scene settings. 

A subsection with examples of the activities for a 

typical

 controlled system would be helpful.  This could 

be a continuation of one of the examples provided in Chapter 2.
