Automation Configuration

As a final step, automations are used to combine the PIR timer output and the toggle button state with time‑based conditions.

NOTE: The Automation plugin must be installed. A suitable version is typically preinstalled in the Wiser4KNX controller.

Three separate automations are created:

  • one for switching the light ON to a high level,

  • one for switching the light ON to a low level,

  • one for switching the light OFF.

Automation for High Light Level

This automation controls the light during daytime.

  1. In your controller, open Configurator > Automations.

  2. Click Add automation to create a new automation.

  3. Enter the name and set OR as a Conjunction type.

  4. Click Save to confirm.

  5. Click icon to open the Conditions dialog.

  6. Click Add condition in the bottom-left corner of the Conditions dialog.

  7. Fill in the condition parameters.

    First condition:

    • Object: 32/1/6 PIR light demand

    • Comparison: =

    • Value to compare: true

      NOTE: It is important to use boolean value true here, not the numbers (1/0).

    Second condition:

    • Object: 32/1/22 PB 22

    • Comparison: =

    • Value to compare: true

      NOTE: It is important to use boolean value true here, not the numbers (1/0).

  8. After adding both conditions, save your settings.


In the next step, you select the scene(s) to be recalled when the automation is triggered:

  1. Click to open the Scenes dialog.

  2. Click Add scene in the bottom left corner of the Scenes dialog.

  3. Select the PIR high scene, click Save, and close the Scenes dialog.

In the next step, you define time interval when the automation will be active:

  1. Click to open the Intervals dialog.

  2. Click Add interval in the bottom left corner of the Intervals dialog.

  3. Set the start/end time of your interval and set the Day of the week parameter.

    NOTE: It is possible to set interval crossing midnight, e.g., from 20:00 till 6:00 next day. It is possible to select sunrise or sunset with given offset as interval start/end. In this case, the controller must have correct geographical location configured to calculate proper time of sunrise/sunset.
  4. You can add multiple intervals, e.g., to cover different time ranges during the day.

  5. After adding all necessary intervals, click Save, and close the Intervals dialog.


Finally, activate your Automation by clicking the activation icon .

Automation for Low Light Level

This automation controls the light during nighttime. The conditions are the same as those used for the high light level automation. The recalled scene is PIR low. The active time interval can be set, for example, from 20:00 to 06:00 the next day.

Automation for Switching Off the Light

This automation switches the light off when neither PIR demand nor manual control is active.

  • Create another automation, for example named PIR auto off, similarly as described above.

  • Set the Conjunction type to AND.

  • Configure the condition parameters.

    First condition:

    • Object: 32/1/6 PIR light demand

    • Comparison: =

    • Value to compare: false (boolean value)

    Second condition:

    • Object: 32/1/22 PB 22

    • Comparison: =

    • Value to compare: false (boolean value)

  • The scene to be recalled is PIR off.

  • No time intervals are defined, therefore the automation is active all the time.
