Hot Water Return Pump

[Andrewt1982 0]

Hi - could do with a bit of help please... Just finished a rebuild of my house and integrated Fibaro.

 

I have a hot water return pump controlled by a Fibaro relay. I also have 5 motion sensors (3 in bathrooms, 1 in the stairway and 1 in the kitchen) - I’d like to switch the pump on for 3 mins when the motion detector is breached... the problem I have is preventing a constant cycle due to people moving round the house. I tried a scene in block builder that said:

 

- 1 scene every 15 mins between 11:00 to 10:59

- motion breached on any motion sensor

- Turn pump on 

- and 

- turn pump off after 180 sec delay 

 

but it didn’t work - what am I doing wrong? Can I achieve what I want in block builder?

 

Thanks, Andrew

Hi

Try this

 

motion1 breaket
or
motion2 breaket
or
motion3 breaket
or
motion4 breaket
or
motion5 breaket
Then
turn pump on
and
turn pump off after 180 sec delay

Thank you for the reply - is there anyway i can add a "no repeat for the next 15 mins" ???

Hi

 

1) Create a variable: NoRepeat that can be 0 or 1

2) Add at the end of the first scene: NoRepeat = 0

3) Create a scene more with the content:

Pump = off 900
then
NoRepeat = 1

 

4)
motion1 breaket and
NoRepeat = 1
or
motion2 breaket and
NoRepeat = 1
or
motion3 breaket and
NoRepeat = 1
or
motion4 breaket and
NoRepeat = 1
or
motion5 breaket and
NoRepeat = 1
then
NoRepeat = 0
turn pump on
and
turn pump off after 180 sec delay

 

Hope it will work

Thanks for the help - will try it out! Do I have to create in LUA - just starting out and I can grasp the logic of the block builder but not started getting up to speed with LUA yet!!

Hi
I have HCL so no lua.
Try to create in block, so you can convert to lua and learn the code that way.
