	You can define rules for motion sensors, door sensors, bed sensors, action buttons, etc. In many cases, the action for the rules will be a phone call, a text message, or an email alert. But another choice, if your loved one has a lamp module, is to turn on a light. This is especially useful if you turn on a light in the middle of the night if a sensor detects that ~~your loved one~~ has gotten up and is moving around.<br /><br />		You can define rules for motion sensors, door sensors, bed sensors, action buttons, etc. In many cases, the action for the rules will be a phone call, a text message, or an email alert.

This is especially useful if you turn on a light in the middle of the night if a sensor detects that the resident has gotten up and is moving around.<br /><br />

	If you have a rule that turns a light on, you will probably want to have a second rule that will turn it off again. For example, if a rule states that the light will turn on if motion is detected between 10pm and 6am, then a second rule could state that the light will turn off if there is no motion for 15 minutes between 10pm and 6am.<br /><br />		If you have a rule that turns a light on, you will probably want to have a second rule that will turn it off again.
