Let say I created a scene that once the motion detected will Light Up the kitchen light during the night (12am - 6 am) time interval ,I have a problem during that time when after certain time it will off by itself and need to trigger the motion sensor for make the scene run again if in case i need to be there for some time or what if I no need to stay for longer time....? Do there is a specific time interval setting or LUA code involve to solve this issue.

You need to recheck the motion sensor with a set interval. So your scene should start a loop where it checks the motions sensor status i.e. every 5 seconds. If the value is one (meaning motion) then the timer you have on your scene should reset and start over. It's quite simple to program and there are several good examples of such scenes in the forum.

You can also create another scene e.g. "Motion Safe" for that zone :-

When motion sensor is safe, then turn off the lights (with a delay of 300sec) which is 5 min.

Meaning, your lights will be turned on when the motion sensor is breached. Lets say you are not moving in the kitchen for 30 sec, your motion sensor will turn into safe mode and it will activate this scene and wait for 5 min before it turns off the light. Im sure you can work out the "appropriate time delay" yourself. I don't think you will be staying still for 5 min anyway. Hope that helps.

    The scene "Motion Safe" is triggered when the motion sensor you want (eg: kitchen) is SAFE, then WAIT for numbers of seconds THEN turn off your preferred lights.

    eg:-

    If motion sensor = safe for xx seconds (put this value in the red box with the s)

    THEN

    Turn off xxx lights

    Test with different time delay value and the sensitivity and parameter of the motion sensor also will dictate the success of this scene. Hope that helps.
