This is how it works:
The module has a built in accelerometer. And so depending on how hard you break, the fog lamp will react differently. It is fully programmable, but at the moment, it does the following:
Very gentle breaking or holding the break while stationary: The fog lamp is OFF , but of course your actual break lights will turn on and are unaffected.
Light breaking: The rear fog lamp will come on with half brightness.
Moderate breaking: The rear fog lamp will come on with full brightness.
Heavy breaking: The rear fog lamp will blink at 3Hz and full brightness.
Currently, the firmware supports the above conditions. But the module is capable of doing more. It has a three dimensional accelerometer, so it can also detect up/down and left/right movements. Other things like logging your acceleration for a trip can also be implemented.

Better check with your local laws. Here in Alberta, that would be illegal. Only a high-mount stop-light is legal (besides the side lamps). We have had this discussion here with our local group and after looking into our local law, it was decided not to persue this type of arrangement for the fog lamp.
