    Motion Sensor and HUB Question

    I have the Insteon Motion Sensor II, Insteon HUB and a switchable outlet. I would like to achieve the following:
    Between sunset and midnight, turn on switchable outlet
    At midnight turn switchable outlet off.
    From midnight to sunrise, turn switchable outlet on for 5 min when motion is detected and then off again.

    What I can achieve is the switchable outlet turning on when motion is detected after sunset which is the setting desired after midnight. However, I want the switchable outlet to be on between sunset and midnight.

    Appreciate if anyone have any ideas how to achieve this.

    IMHO...Im not sure the Hub is the right controller for this since it does not have any conditional logic.

    You have two routines going here:

    IF time is between Sunset AND 00:00
    THEN turn ON Outlet A
    ELSE OFF

    IF time is between 00:01 and sunrise
    And
    IF Motion Status is ON
    THEN turn ON Outlet A
    THEN Wait 5 Minutes
    THEN turn OFF Outlet A
    ELSE <blank>

    With the 2245-222 Hub you can try doing this through an app called Yonomi. It has some extra features that are not offered in the Hub application and can be used as a "companion" app.

    If it was me I would want use something like an ISY-994i or Homeseer controllers, or the Indigo software for Mac. They are very flexible and allow for users to create conditions like the ones you described.
