Motion activated lights help wanted

[Vinisz 15]

Helle Everyone, hope someone can help me out here.

I have this simple scene below running to turn on and off the lights in a room (off after 15 minutes)

It works perfect, however, problems start when turning the light off with the physical light switch (pulse)

If I do that, the light goes out (of course) but this scene keeps running and won't turn on the light if I enter the room again in 5 minutes.

 

Ideal situation (in my opinion) , to kill this scene when the light is switched of but I have no success yet.... hope someone can help me with that.

 

Greeting,

 

Vincent.

Try this...

In the counter loop, check the status of switch light_1.
If light_1 == 0 (off) then counter=timer, and exit loop.

[jack.daniels 103]

First, You have to dicide what will be the triggering event to reset/start coundown.

I sugest to consider:

-motion sensor (yes Its the main thing we started the scene writing)

-device itself status (turned on/off by switch, or by :setValue()

-manual running (means reset/start new counter with running the scene from other scene (for example, door sensor scene may include pushing the light on (in some cases))

 

8 hours ago, Vinisz said:

fibaro:sleep(60*1000)
if tonumber(fibaro:getValue(sensor_1, "value")) > 0 then

What if sensor was briched and unbriched during this 60 seconds? After sleep() Value will be 0? And this way - motion will NOT reset the counter as it should

 

Now about this:

8 hours ago, Vinisz said:

if (fibaro:countScenes()>1) then fibaro:abort() end -- Run only one scene

Look what will happen: motion even triggered the scene, it started counting. And now we need to reset the counter with manual scene running. This will be also ignored and no counter reset happen.

 

Consider also, if u include light device value in triggers, changing device state inside scene loop will also cause new scene instance.

This works for me! If you want longer time with light on then edit the variable starttimer. The time is in seconds.

@Thomasn , this is perfect ! works very well, thank you....

This works good for me. You can use door switch and PIR  to trigger the light. 53-motion sensor, 77 door sensor in my case

Maybe I'm missing something but the following scene works perfectly for me to switch the lights on very fast, not creating extra instances of the scene (%% killOtherinstances).  Every time the sensor changes status, wether it is activated or changes to 'Safe' will trigger a new run of the scene (killing all previous ones first) and will switch off all lights after there has been no motion detected on any of the three motion sensors for 2 minutes (120000 milliseconds). Only complicating factor here is that there is an extra condition: if the variable "Licht" is set to "Licht", meaning that there is 'normal daylight, then only three lights in a very dark part of the hallway are switched on by motion. When the same variable is set to "Donker", meaning that it is dark outside, all eleven lights in the hallway are switched on.

Light turns off fine but could never get the light to turn on when motion is detected. is it worth taking into account lux (light) and only utilise this scene if it is dark?

[Thomasn 77]

Strange as the program should work. I have used it for over a year with no problems.  Have you changed the ID under properties in the start of the program to your values - and in the variable area? If so, then check if your PIR works as intended. Is it included in the Homecenter and does it see movement?
