Ok... i have a configuration "Problem".... Imagine this:
i have one motion detector on floor 2 and another motion detector on floor 3.
In the middle of the two floors, there is a lamp.
Both Motion Detectors are currently associated with that single lamp. (fibaro switch)
Both Motion Detectors TURN OFF the lamp after 5 minutes for instance.
Now imagine... i walk up from floor 1 to floor 2... and the motion detector on floor 2 detects the motion and turns on the lamp. so far so good.... however... now imagine that i rest 4 minutes between floor 2 and 3 (the motion detector on floor 3 has not yet seen my motion). after 4 minutes i walk into the motion detector on floor 3, which in turn would also turn on the lamp. however... the lamp is already on... so nothing changes..... BUT:
the motion detector on floor 2 will TURN OFF the lamp in 1 minute
the motion detector on floor 3 will TURN OFF the lamp in 5 minutes
now imagine... i walk into floor 4 just for one minute... after that minute... the motion detector on floor 2 WILL TURN OFF THE LAMP (and is ready for a "new" motion).... so far so good

IT WILL NOT turn on the Lamp... because it still is in "Motion Detected" Mode for about 3-4 minutes... therefore... the lamp stays OFF until i walk into the motion detector on floor 2 (which is ready for motion again... because it was the first detector which turned on the lamp / was triggerd by motion).
I think this is a "regular" situation for "multiple floors light on by motion" or "motion controlled light in a stairway".
How do you guys solve this configuration issue ? can this be done with a special scene ? if so how ? or is there an alternative and easy solution i've missed ?
Thanks for any inputs... and hopefully my example was clear to understand
