8.8 Commonly Used Moods
Some event sequences must be setup as a mood to function appropriately. There are many reasons
to make triggers run moods to help change the way the event will act. One advantage of making it a
mood is simply because it can be ran from the touch screen. If you are setting up a mood to run on an
Insteon keypad, it is best to make the mood from the mood screen and make the trigger on the
keypad to run that mood. Automation is all about doing things automatically. It is best to try and use
different sensors and schedules to do task automatically.
These are quick examples of commonly used moods that you may want to set up.
