Advanced Garden Light Scheduling

There are two different types of smart scenes available to use within Holman Home.

What are Tap-to-Run Scenes?

• These are scenes that you can run manually – tap the name to perform the set task
• For easy access, once created the Tap-to-Run scenes show on your Home screen by default in a scrollable list (left to right) above your list of devices
• The major reason for setting up Tap-to-Run scenes is to use them with Google/Alexa/Siri
• They are also great for pairing multiple devices to run at the same time

How to create a Tap-to-Run smart scene and activate Siri

• Start by heading to the SMART Tab that is located along the bottom of the Holman Home home screen. Click on the + button in the top right-hand corner to create a new scene
• This will open the CREATE SMART window where you will be able to choose from a range of conditions
• For setting up a voice-activated task, we will be choosing the LAUNCH TAP-TO-RUN button
• Next, select the RUN THE DEVICE button, this will allow you to choose from the devices you have connected to Holman Home. Select the Wi-Fi Garden Light Controller

• Now you will be presented with a number of functions. SWITCH allows you to choose if you are turning the device ON or OFF. MODE allows you to select if you are running a scene or one colour on your lights
• Today we will be turning the Controller to turn ON.
• If no MODE is selected, the controller will use the COLOUR mode by default. Click SAVE after selecting the ON switch
• Next, you will see the Tap-to-Run scene condition and settings. Click SAVE. You will then be asked if you would like to add this Tap-to-Run scene to Siri. In the WHEN I SAY box, type in what you would like your voice command to be
  • i.e. “Turn on my Garden Lights” or “Backyard Lights On”
• Click ADD TO SIRI. This command can be removed and adjusted at any time. This Tap-to-Run scene will now appear on your Holman Home home screen and in the SMART Tab
• This scene call also be activated by clicking on the saved scene

Note: The first scene that is saved in the SCENE tab of your Wi-Fi Garden Light Controller will be used by default. If picking the COLOUR mode, the last selected colour on the colour wheel of the will be used by default.

What are Automation smart scenes?

• These are scenes that have a trigger – they will only run when a condition or a set of conditions are met
• These conditions fall under 3 categories. When the weather changes, a schedule, and when the device status changes
• Once the condition is set, you can choose from 4 tasks to be executed
• These scenes can be run using Google/Alex voice control only. They do not work with Siri voice control

How to Create an Automation Smart Scene

Turning on your Garden Lights when the Weather Changes

Setting up different Automation scenes allows you to transform your outdoor space based on different weather conditions.

This tutorial will show you how to set up an Automation to activate a scene when it is raining.
