Scene turn on/off light coming/leaving home?

[texan 5]

Hi,

Need some help with this

Trying to get my light to turn on when I coming home and turn off when I'm leaving, and my scenes doesn't work 100%.

I'm using Fibaro motion/lux sensor and door sensor.

LUX_HALL = lux sensor

MK_YTTERD = door sensor

RD_HALL = motion sensor

 

Thanks

What do you mean with “not working 100 %”? So it work sometimes?

 

I would guess that it is your motion sensor plays a trick on you. If the door is not opened the same time as the motion sensor see you, the if-then statement is false. The reason is, that the motion sensor has a short time after detection of movement before it can detect movement again. This saves power So the battery is not drained to quickly.

 

Look at the devise’s template. How long is the latency time? Is it long enough for you to open and close the door before motion is detected again? The lower it a bit.

When I coming home it turn on the light, but if I then leave after some time it doesn't turn off the light.

But if I manually turn on the light and then leave after some time it will turn off the light. 

 

What parameter should I try to lower? 

I have set/lower the parameter 1 t = 10 and 6 = 10 (don't know I you talking about other parameters)

my question is: why you use "breached" state in both scenes?

sorry, but your logic is not clear to me!

When you

enter: 

1) MK_YTTERD = breached

2) RD_HALL = breached

3) LUX_HALL = 0%

...............................

turn light on

LUX_HALL from 0% to 100% (for example. at random)

...............................

leave:

1) RD_HALL = breached

2) MK_YTTERD = breached

3) LUX_HALL = 100%

...............................

now we want to turn off a light, right, yeah?

so

 

if LUX_HALL == 0% then

  if MK_YTTERD  == breached then

    if RD_HALL == breached then

       -- Yay!

      turn light on

    end

 end

end

 

if LUX_HALL == 100% then

  if MK_YTTERD  == breached then

    if RD_HALL == breached then

       -- Yay!

      turn light off

    end

 end

end

 

another way (I have asked you about breached in both scenes)

we can check after MK_YTTERD == breached RD_HALL is NOT (safe) breached == 60 sec then  turn light  off

 

if LUX_HALL == 100% then -- light still ON

  if MK_YTTERD  == breached then -- you closed the door

    if RD_HALL == safe 60 sec then -- no motion here.. at the least 1 min

       -- Yay!

      turn light off

    end

 end

end

@10der

Sorry for my ignorance.

I have no good answer why I using "breached" in my scenes, I just used that and it almost worked....

Your suggestions, is that LUA or ?

 

[10der 832]

no suggestions from my side.  

my code above not LUA code.  

I am just trying to write block schemas for clearing understanding process. 

you can use "blocks" and you can use LUA. Whatever!

[texan 5]

@10der and everyone..

Ok I understand 

Still can't get the leave scene to turn lights off, have tried with the

LUX is more than 20

MK_ Breached

RD_ Safe 60 s

then

turn light off

 

So still I like to have some suggestions on a scene for leaving..

I'm total nOOb on LUA so there I need some script that I can play with and figure what values to changes to get it to work....

Kindly advise how to turn on and off lights when the front door is open. I want the lights on when the door is open and off when closed. I am using Aeotec door sensor and Fibaro single switch for this purpose. Currently I have the lights turn on when the doors are open however I am not able to turn off the lights.

Hi @texan have you considered using geo location services?

 

I have a variety of scenes that get triggered when I arrive or leave home, they work with all the family too.

 

Have a look at my website for more info

you could create a seperate scene that checks the status of the door every one or two seconds, and when the door status changes to closed, it activates that seperate scene

Yes I have created 2 separate scenes. Scene 1 turns the lights on when the door is open and scene 2 the light switches off  with a 1 minute delay. I couldn't get the lights go off instantly. But the delay is fine. I am now struggling with Fibaro double switch. I have set up the switch correctly and can also independently turn off/on my Fan and light connect to S1 and S2 respectively. I am not able to integrate these with Alexa for some reason. I have enables the Fibaro smart home skill set in Alexa . Named the room as living also gave a verbal command starting Alexa tell fibaro to turn on the fan in the living room however there seem to be a problem it just wont  work or may be I am doing something wrong
