Auto Lights off

[RossA 1]

I have a Lua script that turn lights on when the condition ->light is off ->and sensor is breached.  Then turn light off based on timer where when time sensor is breached  the timer starts again based on checking every 1 sec. If you switch the light on by actual physical switch then on/off goes to manual as the condition -> lights off ->and sensor breached is not met.  I am sure you have all seen something similar.

 

All works well except for when you are in manual mode and then switch off light by physical switch whilst the sensor is still breached.    As we know, when sensor is breached it stays in breach state for a certain amount time, say 5 sec.  As such, the problem is that if in manual mode and you switch off light, while sensor is breached, then condition ->light off and sensor breached is true, and light turn back on, f you have breached sensor when leaving room.

 

I have tried many different options to the point I am going crazy, and suggestions re Lua code to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Or to put it  better:

 

I need to be able to use auto on and off which works well, but also be able to override it at physical switch level, based on using Fibaro switch 2 assuming the sensor may be breached when you switch off.

 

Thanks in advance.

check out the downloads section and use the light script

Is there a better way to make a retriggerable timer and don't start muliple instances of the script?

yes very smart lights will do it. auto turns on motion for x time. then turns off. during this you can use the manual switch. I use the same script in all my rooms
