Motion based scene, will this work?

[jimicr 90]

Hey guy's,

 

I was thinking to get out of "to many instances" like this, I can't code so if anyone can take a look at my idea and tell me if this is possible:

 

Set a global var lightsouttimer to 1 using this scheduler:

if lights out is 1 and

motion sensor breached sets a local a=a+1 and a local timer=OStime

if OStime- time is >=600 seconds set a global lightsout.

 

The global lightsout triggers a scene that turns off the lights in my kids bedroom.

 

Would this work?

 

Looking forward to your input.

 

Jim

Hi did you resolve this, what was your intended outcome?? and what starts your scene?

It seems that "too many instances" is buggy and even it appears from time to time, scenes still working perfectly so I would not be so worried about that. Except annoying yellow triangle with number in it till now I did not encounter any other problems. I still keep all my scenes that should run only one instance on default 2 instances, because when I change to 1 instance then I get plenty of warnings even I use code to eliminate all other instances when one is already running.

 

Fibaro team still have to do a lot of work to get to the bottom of this, and it is not simple one as it seems.

As above, do it in lua and set the number of instances to 2. Thats assuming your logic is ok to handle it - ie if a second instance is to turn off the lights, you need to make sure the first instance will do that when it ends, else, if it's based on motion (and sensor going safe), it might never trigger as the sensor goes safe while instance one is running. You'll need instance one to check in that case and turn them off or call the scene to turn them off.

please add killscene to blockscenes! i have worked out a nice solution using lua but having killscenes and being able to select the scene would save SOOOOOOO many resources!
