Rules define what will happen when some trigger is activated, for example, when movement is detected. The number of rules is not restricted.
There are two kind of rules:
Standalone Rules: Rules that work independently
Scene Rules: Rules that are bind to certain a scene
When you open Cozify application for the first time, rules view is empty.
In case you want to be able to turn certain rule on and off manually, you can define the rule to be standalone on/off rule. These Standalone Rules can be toggled on/off by single tapping on the rows. Each standalone rule has a power-icon indicating are their currently on or off.
When you bind a rule to a certain scene (making it a Scene Rule), the rule will turn on/off when the scene is activated or deactivated.
Adding new rules
At the Rules view you can add new rules by tapping on the (+)-icon in the header bar. New rules can also be created through the Devices-view, by dragging a detector device on top of an output device. For example, moving a motion sensor on top of a light bulb.
Modifying rules
To modify a specific rule, tap on the pencil icon in the header and then tap on the rule you wish to edit. Another way to access the rule specific view is by long pressing on the rule. By default all the rules are listed in the Rules view. You can filter the rules by using the filtering panel accessible just below the header bar.

Scenes
Scenes allow you to easily control how each of your smart device behaves during different moments. Scenes are used to collect together different rules and devices states, and to schedule devices and rules to turn on/off automatically when needed.
There are two kind of scenes:
Home Mode Scenes: Two scenes (Home and Away) initialized by Cozify. Only one of them can be on at a time - if you activate Home scene, the Away scene goes automatically off.
Favorite Scenes: Scenes initiated by you. Multiple favorite scenes can be on at a time.
In case you want to be able to turn certain rule on and off manually, you can define the rule to be standalone on/off rule. These Standalone Rules can be toggled on/off by single tapping on the rows. Each standalone rule has a power-icon indicating are their currently on or off.
When you bind a rule to a certain scene (making it a Scene Rule), the rule will turn on/off when the scene is activated or deactivated.
Home Mode Scenes
Home mode scenes are Home and Away.
Under Home scene, you can store rules and device states that you want to be on when you are home. You can schedule the scene to turn on for example at 16:00 and off 22:00.
Away scene could be scheduled to turn on at 9:00 and off 16:00. And during this time lights will turn on 100% brightness and Sonos speakers start playing loud music in case someone is moving around your house.
Favorite Scenes
Favorite scenes can be on at the same time with Home mode scenes or with other favorite scenes. You can create as many favorite scenes as you wish.
Examples of these scenes are Night, Morning, Party, Movie, Dinner, etc.
Your Night scene could go on scheduled at 11:00pm (or manually from a switch when you go to sleep), and off for example at 7:00 am
The Night scene turns off the power plugs and lights, and when the scene is on, the lights go on dimmed from movement. During this time, dimmed lights could turn on when someone is about to take a late night snack.
If you defined your Night scene to end at 7:00, the morning scene could turn on automatically at 7:00 and off at 9:00.
During this time your Sonos speakers could start playing your favorite radio channel and lights could start waking you up gently 15 minutes before you have to wake up.
Party scene will start playing your favorite party playlist when turned on.
Movie scene dims your lights.
Dinner scene dims lights and starts playing some peaceful, nice music on the background.
