Occupancy (CO)

BACnet Browser CC-ONYX Occupancy tab

The Occupancy tab defines how each control output reacts to occupancy state. For every control output you set the command applied when the space becomes occupied, when it becomes unoccupied, and when a warning is issued before turning off, along with the delays and timers that drive the transitions. The list at the top shows every control output with its current settings. Select a row to edit it in the Configuration panel below.

Occupancy list​

ColumnDescription
Control OutputName of the control output (Control Output 1 to Control Output 5).
Occupied CommandCommand applied when the space becomes occupied.
Oc. Value 1First parameter of the occupied command.
Oc. Value 2Second parameter of the occupied command, used only by commands that need two values.
Unoccupied CommandCommand applied when the space becomes unoccupied.
Un. Value 1First parameter of the unoccupied command.
Un. Value 2Second parameter of the unoccupied command, used only by commands that need two values.
Warning CommandCommand applied when the warning is issued before the space goes unoccupied.
Wa. Value 1First parameter of the warning command.
Wa. Value 2Second parameter of the warning command, used only by commands that need two values.
Delay OffTime the space stays occupied after the last detected activity, in seconds.
WarningDuration of the warning phase that runs after the delay off expires, in seconds. During this phase the warning command is applied, then the unoccupied command runs when it ends. 0 disables the warning phase and runs the unoccupied command immediately.
OverrideDuration of a manual override before occupancy control resumes and the warning and unoccupied commands are allowed to re-execute, in seconds.

Configuration​

Edit the selected control output with the fields in the Configuration panel.

Occupied Command​

FieldDescription
CommandAction applied when the space becomes occupied. See Commands below.
ValueCommand parameter, shown only for commands that use it.
Value 2Second command parameter, shown only for commands that use two values, such as the scene toggle.

Unoccupied Command​

FieldDescription
CommandAction applied when the space becomes unoccupied. See Commands below.
ValueCommand parameter, shown only for commands that use it.
Value 2Second command parameter, shown only for commands that use two values.

Warning Command​

FieldDescription
CommandAction applied when the warning is issued before the space goes unoccupied. See Commands below.
ValueCommand parameter, shown only for commands that use it.
Value 2Second command parameter, shown only for commands that use two values.

Occupancy​

FieldDescription
Delay OffTime the space stays occupied after the last detected activity, in seconds.
Warning TimeDuration of the warning phase after the delay off expires, in seconds. At the beginning of this phase the warning command is executed, then the unoccupied command is executed at the end of this delay. Set to 0 to skip the warning phase and execute the unoccupied command immediately.
Override TimeDuration of a manual override before occupancy control resumes and the warning and unoccupied commands are allowed to re-execute, in seconds.

Commands​

note

Toggle commands are evaluated against the live lighting state. For example an occupied Max Level / Off (toggle) turns the outputs on when they are off, but if they are already on it turns them off. Because the decision depends on the current light level, non-toggle commands such as Recall Max Level or Off give more predictable occupancy behavior.
