    having issues with my motion detector. at times it just stops turning on the lights

    hello, i have a simple setup
    a motion detector in my kitchen that turns on a insteon dimmer.
    it works 80% of the time.

    I have a couple of questions and i am not sure if this is the correct forum or not so i will try here first

    1) i would only like it to trigger the light during the day. I assume that is the "night only"
    what is night?
    is it hours?
    how does it determine ?
    is there somewhere i set the Timezone i am in ?
    the house info only shows DaylightSavings but no TZ

    thanks for any help

    Night only mode depends on the ambient brightness.
