Create Scenes in the Pioneer Airlink AppUpdated 6 hours ago
Introduction
This article explains how to create scenes in the Pioneer Airlink app.
A scene is a pre-programmed, single-command setting that can be activated automatically or manually.
The app offers two types of scenes. Automation scenes enable users to automate routine tasks. Tap-to-Run scenes provide users with the ability to create and enable tasks whenever. Both procedures are explained below.
Automation Scenes
Users can create automation scenes for different purposes. First, users select the trigger condition, then they choose the task that runs when the scene activates. The following are examples of trigger conditions:
- When the weather changes: When the local temperature is greater than 82°F.
- Schedule: 7 a.m. every morning.
- When the device status changes: When an unusual activity is detected.
