Scenarios for Long or Short Absences
Scenarios for long or short absences ensure the house maintains order on its own while you're away. When leaving for work, a single command is enough: the lights turn off, the climate control switches to an economical mode, and the sensors remain on alert. When you go on vacation, the house periodically turns on lights in different rooms, simulating occupancy.
What the house does without you
LUMUX engineers configure presence simulation and energy-saving logic according to your usual routine — from a quick trip to the store to a multi-week vacation. Notifications about leaks, open doors, or smoke are sent to your messenger immediately, not when you return and notice the problem yourself.
- Lights turn on in different rooms in the evenings, simulating presence
- Climate control switches to economy mode until you return.
- Leak and window opening sensors remain active at all times
- An alert notification arrives in the messenger immediately, not later.
Scenarios for long or short absences are closely linked to the security alarm scenario: together they protect the home from unexpected events while the owners are away. Configure them for your trip dates with an engineer. Understand the possibilities with security sensors and leak sensors, and the full set is collected in the smart home scenarios section.

Frequently Asked Questions.
What do people ask before ordering
Yes, leak and smoke sensors operate continuously, not just when someone is home: upon activation, the house immediately sends a notification to the chosen messenger, without waiting for your return. The logic is built into the general absence scenario and the security alarm scenario — together they keep the house under supervision while you're away.
Just check the app: you can see if the sensors have been triggered, what the current climate control mode is, and what's happening on the video surveillance, if it's part of the project. A separate alert notification comes to the messenger if something truly requires attention — there's no need to manually check the house every day.
Presence simulation, energy-saving climate control, and sensor operation run locally inside the house and do not stop without a network. However, sending an alarm notification to a messenger requires the internet — if the connection is lost for a long time, the house continues to monitor itself but cannot report it immediately.
Yes, the logic can be configured for any duration—from a couple of hours of shopping to a multi-week vacation. For a short absence, a single 'away' command is usually sufficient, while for a longer absence, presence simulation and a more economical climate control mode are added.
