Motion scene

[smolson00 1]

Hi Guys,

I would like some clarification on scenes if you could help me that would be great. 

 

Basically I have created scenes to turn on lights when the motion sensor is breached then off after a set time. I keep getting notifications of "Number of instances of scene has been reduced due to exceeding limit.

is this because the motion sensor keeps seeing motion and trying to run the scene again? 

If so how do i fix this?

Regards 

Sean

Try to change the condition:

"if the motion sensor is breached" change to

"if the motion sensor is breached and the light is turned off"

It seems to be ok. If doesn't work then check trigger section. The motion should be checked in trigger section.

It is checked but thats not the problem. it saying there are too many instances of the scene running

Any ideas I'm still getting this problem

Hi @smolson00,

 

Could you post a bigger screenshot with triggering conditions above as well?

because everytime there is motion it triggers the scene, so a lot of instances.

Select the checkbox from the downlights and not the motion sensor. or convert to LUA and add

 

if (tonumber(fibaro:countScenes()) > 1) then -- > 1
  --log("Script already running.");
  fibaro:abort(); 
end

--[[

119 value

--]]

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();
if (
 ( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(15, "value")) == 0 )
and
 ( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(119, "value")) > 0 )
or
startSource["type"] == "other"
)
then
    fibaro:call(15, "turnOn");
    setTimeout(function()
        fibaro:call(15, "turnOff");
    end, 300000)
 
end

if (tonumber(fibaro:countScenes(21, "value")) > 1) then -- > 1
  --log("Script already running.");
  fibaro:abort(21, "value"); 
end

 

 

is this correct?
