Default Policies
If no Event is active and a Scene has not been selected, the default Policy will take effect.
This Policy can be viewed in the Location Settings tab and is
shown here:
Edit this Policy by going to Location Settings as described in the
Events and Policies section of this guide. You can also select a
different default Policy by clicking .
Motion Groups
You can use the Motion Groups Feature in Redwood manager for when, in the course of
defining your Events and Policies, it becomes necessary to trigger an Event to occur in a
given Location (or specific Fixture in a Location) based upon motion (occupancy) seen by a
Sensor not associated with that Location (or Fixture). With this technique a single motion
signal can be “shared” with multiple Locations, in effect allowing them to share a single
Sensor.
The key point to remember when implementing this feature is that you are going to configure
a given Sensor (Donor Location or Donor Fixture) to “share” with other Locations that it sees
motion. When the Recipient Location receives this “shared” motion signal then it will behave
as if it received a motion signal from one of its “native” Sensors, triggering whatever Event it
would normally trigger. This means that a single motion signal can trigger different Events in
different Locations that have different results, since each Location’s Events/Policies are
unique to that Location. The Events/Policies for each Location are respected no matter where
the motion signal originates.
Note: You can only donate motion signals to Locations and not specific Fixtures, because
Events/ Policies are triggered for an entire Location, not specific Fixtures. If you want to
“share” a motion signal with a specific Fixture and only that Fixture, not the rest of the
Location, then that Fixture will need to be alone in a child Location that receives the motion
signal.
Sharing a Motion Signal from a Location
1. Select the Location that has the Sensor you want to “share” motion from using the
Maintenance tab.
2. Select Configuration on the pull-down directly below the Maintenance tab. You will see a
listing of the current Locations that are Recipients of motion signals from this Donor
Location.
3. Click the button.
4. A dialog box will be presented that allows you to pick which Location(s) you want to
receive motion signals from the Donor Location.
5. Select Finish when you are done adding Recipient Locations.
Sharing a Motion Signal from a Fixture
1. Select the Location that has the Fixture you want to “share” motion from using the
Maintenance tab.
2. Select the specific Fixture you wish to “share” motion from in the Fixture list in the center
of the screen.
