What are the characteristics of a scenario?

This type of scenario, called a manual scenario, requires a deliberate action to be launched, such as activation via the app, a button, a remote control, or a configured switch.

	Add an action to your scenario.
	Tap "+ Add an action" in the "Action" section. Then choose "Action on device" to see your devices.

Integrate your device's action.

Select your Inspire connected fan from the displayed list.
Choose the desired option from the following:
- Turn On / Off
- Fan speed
- Fan mode
- Advanced lighting configuration
Finally, select the desired state of your device from:
- State: On / Off
- Functionality: Fan / Light
- Fan speed: 0 to 6
- Fan mode: Breeze / Manual
- Brightness: 0 to 100%
- White: 2750K / 3500K / 4000K / 5000K / 6500K

For this example, we will choose "Advanced lighting configuration" and "State: On / Brightness: 50% / White: 2750K".

How do I add a new device or action to my scenario?

Repeat the steps in the sections "Add an action to your scenario" and "Integrate your device's action" above.

	Save the scenario.
	To save, tap the " ✔ " button on the right of the screen. Your scenario will appear in the "Scenarios" menu after saving.

Test your scenario.
Tap the Play icon "" next to the created scenario. A loading icon will briefly appear on this Play icon "". Then, the Play icon "" will reappear. Check that your devices respond correctly to the configured actions.

In the example, if your Inspire connected fan is set to "On / Brightness 50% / White 2750K" as action #1, the device will react immediately during the scenario.

	Add the first action to your scenario.
	Tap "+ Add an action" in the "Action" section. Then choose "Action on device" to see your devices.

Integrate the first action of your device.

Select your Inspire connected fan from the displayed list.
Choose the desired option from the following:
- Turn On / Off

Tap "+ Add an action" in the "Action" section.
Choose "Waiting delay" to configure the delay.
Enter the waiting duration before the next action.
Tap "Save" at the bottom of the screen.
The delay will appear below the first action in "Action".

What is the waiting delay?

It is the time between two actions in a scenario. For example, a three-hour delay postpones the next action by three hours after the first.

This allows shifting the execution of actions over time.

In this example, a 3-hour delay (03:00:00) is set between the first and second actions.

Add the third action to your scenario.
Tap "+ Add an action" in the "Action" section. Then choose "Action on device" to see your devices.

Integrate the second action of your device.

In this example:

A first action changes the state of the Inspire connected fan to on (for the light),
A three-hour delay follows,
Then a second action changes the state of the same Inspire connected fan to off (for the light).

During execution:

The device first switches to light on,
A three-hour delay passes,
Then the device changes state again to light off.

This type of scenario is called a scheduled scenario. What is a scheduled scenario?

A scheduled scenario triggers automatically at a defined time or period via a time trigger, executing actions without manual intervention.

	Add a trigger to your scenario.
	Tap "+ Add a trigger" in the "Trigger" section. Choose "Specific moment" to set the schedule. Tap "00:00", set the scenario time, then confirm with "Ok".
