Too many running innstances

[Bpm 0]

Hello. Can anybody help me with a problem. I want simply have wall plug to be ON when motion sensor detects move, and after 300 seconds of not detection any movement i want to turn wall plug off... I have 2 scenes, with set od max. running instances on 1, it mostly works, but fibaro hc2 still alert - too many running instances on them ... thank you

In your case, the scenes will compete with each other and you will exceed the number of instances,

 

Below is a couple of scenes you can adapt for your wall plug.

 

Depending on the motion sensor you are using you will be better off keeping to two scenes when using block scenes, but leaving the first scene to only turn on the lights, and in the second scene changing it to trigger on safe and setting the timer for say 3 minutes - 180 seconds, then turn off. 

 

The logic is built into the sensor so it won't send a safe while it detects motion, which prevents the lights going off while you're still in the room, otherwise, the timer will turn the lights off at a set time regardless of motion.

 

Example:

If the outside light level is too low and motion is detected in the kitchen, then turn on a RGBW module on warm white - full brightness.

 

Then is no motion detected under any conditions, turn the lights off.

 

I set the maximum number of scenes as 2 to turn on and 10 to turn off. For block scenes - works really well.

@Bpm set parameter 6 (pir) to 300 seconds

 

scene:

when breached light on

when safe light off (no delays!)

 

this way it works flawless

what you mean exactly with ..... I set the maximum number of scenes as 2 to turn on and 10 to turn off. For block scenes - works really well. 

 

these numbers are max. instances ?

Cheers Akatar - Going to give that tip a try....

Yes - Max running instances=10  for turn off.

 

I'm going to try Akatar's recommendation on Parameter 6 on the motion sensor.

if i want to safe battery life there is 15 seconds blind time on motion sensor, it will be problem

there is problem that the fibaro montion sensor after each detection of motion switches from safe to breached, every few seconds if there is movement

then if I stop moving for a while etc. 10 sec, and then comes another movement ….

 

the scene with    safe for 300 sec start counting another instance, and then another….

 

so if you move sometimes during period it still produces more instances and automatically reduces instances and the wall plug doesnt get off

no bullsh*t, there is only one instance running (Always)

and it will cost no more battery life.

i found code….

%% killOtherInstances

 

i dont know where to write it in code
