How to manually turn off a light during auto OFF

[patfel 0]

I have a Fibaro motion sensor to turn on a light with a switch module FGS-223. I use a scene to triggered by motion to turn the light on, and use the FGS-223 "auto OFF" feature (parameter 10) to turn off after 120 seconds (parameter 12).

 

This all works ok, but when the light is on, I can't manually switch off the device using the local switch, or the mobile app. I think this due to parameter 11. If I have it set to "0", then subsequent motion turns the light off, not what I want. But if I set parameter 11 to 2 (restart the timer), then I don't seem to be able to manually turn the light off with local switch or mobile app.

 

So - what is the most efficient / simple way to have a motion triggered light with OFF timer that can be manually turned off after motion is triggered? I think it can be done if I use a scene to automate the turn off rather than using the FGS-223 auto OFF feature, but that is more complexity.

With more features you get more complexety .

Is this so you can get out of the room after switching the light off without a retrigger?

Adjust sensor blind time and if you use a scene for off time instead of the timer parameter  then the switch should work.

No, it's for my front porch light which unfortunately lights up my bedroom. If inadvertent motion such as a cat or branches waving in the wind turn it on in the middle of the night, I want to be able to turn it off manually before the timeout finishes.

@patfel use a scene rather than the 'timer off' setting then I think the swiitch should over ride it untill sensor triggers again.

Just a simple magic scene will work

Yes thanks it's working using an on scene and a separate off scene.
