Help needed with Light scene (Dim, then Off - trigger by SAFE motion sensor

[tigger_tan 0]

Hi.

 

Need some help with a scene as I've tried 2 separate scenes with a motion-safe trigger but the triggers overlap and the light group only dims and never turns off. Then I tried a single motion-safe trigger of a dim AND off after 300s, then this one just skips the dim and turns straight off.

 

Basically I have 2 lights that I want dim, if there is not activity in the room after 5min, and then switch off if no further activity after 5min. These lights are currently set to turn on when motion triggered.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can you post the scene you already have?

Sorry my scene is using blocks so I could not copy as image so here goes:

 

Dim: Motion Sensor=Safe(300s) AND Evening TIme variable=Active AND Light Group=On THEN Light Group=OFF(value 20)

 

Off: Light Group=20 AND Motion Sensor=Safe(300s) AND Evening Time variable=active) THEN Light Group=OFF(Value 0)

 

p.s. The Evening Time variable is set to turn active after sunset (7.08pm) and turn inactive in the morning at 7am.

 

Hope this is clear enough. Thanks in advance for any help!

Anyone? Please? Even if someone can teach me how to post a screenshot of my scene's blocks

Do you have a HC2? If so could you convert the scene to lua (go to scene, advanced tab, below you will find the button) and paste the code here?

Have you tried "Magic Scenes"?

 

I am not sure when they were introduced.... 

 

i have two very simple magic scenes set up,  Motion detect and turn a light on,  and then turn it off when the Motion Detector is Not Tripped.

Thanks boerremk!

 

Here is the scene to dim my living lights:

 

--[[

%% autostart

%% properties

82 value

35 value

36 value

%% events

%% globals

Evening_Time

--]]

 

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

if(startSource["type"] == "other") then

setTimeout(function()

fibaro:call(35, "turnOff");

fibaro:call(36, "turnOff");

end, 20000)

else

if (( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(35, "value")) > 0 ) and ( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(36, "value")) > 0 ) and ( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(82, "value")) == 0 )) then

local delayedCheck0 = false;

if ( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(35, "value")) > 0 ) then

delayedCheck0 = true;

end

local delayedCheck1 = false;

if ( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(36, "value")) > 0 ) then

delayedCheck1 = true;

end

setTimeout(function()

local delayedCheck2 = false;

local tempDeviceState2, deviceLastModification2 = fibaro:get(82, "value");

if (( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(82, "value")) == 0 ) and (os.time() - deviceLastModification2) >= 300) then

delayedCheck2 = true;

end

 

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

if (

 ( delayedCheck0 == true  and  fibaro:getGlobalValue("Evening_Time") == "Active"  and  delayedCheck1 == true  and  delayedCheck2 == true )

or

startSource["type"] == "other"

)

then

setTimeout(function()

fibaro:call(35, "turnOff");

fibaro:call(36, "turnOff");

end, 20000)

end

end, 300000)

end

end

Here is the scene that turns off my living rooms lights:

 

--[[

%% autostart

%% properties

35 value

36 value

82 value

%% events

%% globals

Evening_Time

--]]

 

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

fibaro:call(35, "turnOff");

fibaro:call(36, "turnOff");

local delayedCheck0 = false;

local tempDeviceState0, deviceLastModification0 = fibaro:get(35, "value");

if (( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(35, "value")) == 0 ) and (os.time() - deviceLastModification0) >= 20) then

end

local delayedCheck1 = false;

local tempDeviceState1, deviceLastModification1 = fibaro:get(36, "value");

if (( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(36, "value")) == 0 ) and (os.time() - deviceLastModification1) >= 20) then

delayedCheck1 = true;

end

setTimeout(function()

local delayedCheck2 = false;

local tempDeviceState2, deviceLastModification2 = fibaro:get(82, "value");

if (( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(82, "value")) == 0 ) and (os.time() - deviceLastModification2) >= 600) then

delayedCheck2 = true;

end

 

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

if (

 ( delayedCheck0 == true  and  delayedCheck1 == true  and  delayedCheck2 == true  and  fibaro:getGlobalValue("Evening_Time") == "Active" )

or

startSource["type"] == "other"

)

then

fibaro:call(35, "turnOff");

fibaro:call(36, "turnOff");

end

end, 600000)

end, 20000)

end

end

I don't see in your scene any commands to dim lights, only to turn them off. Anyway, here is one scene in LUA that should turn on lights if global variable Evening_Time is active and it is triggered by motion sensor with ID = 82. Then it will loop every second and keep checking that motion sensor and if there is detected movement it will reset countdown. If there is no movement any more then when countdown reach half time (dimtime = 300) then lights will be dimmed (level = 30). But if there is movement detected again then countdown will be reseted, and lights will again became more bright (level = 90). if there is no movement for 10 minutes then lights will be turned off and scene will be stopped.

I haven't test this code which is actually taken from my more complex code to control my living room lights.

 

In my case I have one scene which is triggered by lux sensor and during day it will turn lights on if we are at home, if lights are set to automatic mode and if there is not enough light like bellow 70 lux, and turn off lights if there is more than 200 lux. This scene is active after sunrise and until sunset (+/- 30min can be set with VD).

 

After sunset and until sunrise I have another scene which is triggered by motion sensor and it turns on lights when movement is detected but brightness of the lights depends on some global variables like are we awake or sleep, do we watch TV or guests are in our house. During summer we spent more time in our garden than in living room and then indoor lights can be even more dimmed  not to attract insects like flies and mosquitos inside the house.

Since your trigger is the time slot, may I suggest to use VD main loop for that with very simple code - assuming you turn on light to full when triggered.

Please change motionSensor, Light1 and Light2 to your real IDs. 

Please change dimming value according to your needs.
