Hi, I have lua scene which work great except that, when timeout is set for 2 minutes and then motion is detected timeout is "overwritten" with new scene instance.. Previously had sleep instead of setTimeout, but it sometimes freeze other scenes (don't know why). How can i fix this?

Can you describe me what is the goal of your scene?  Its not that clear to me.

When any of motion sensors detect motion, it should turn On the heater and then independenlty on sensors state it should turn off the heater after 600 sec?

Hi, hi thanks for response. It's for circulation pomp. It pomp water thru the pipes so in house there is a warm water faster. Currently it have interval (in other, not fibaro pług) to work 2 minutes on each 10 minutes. Even on night which is useless and wasting gas.

 

So my idea was simple - if motion is detected in kitchen or on the first floor than turn it on for 2 minutes but on 10 minutes period only. So when someone is walking in kitchen for 30 minutes it should be turned on 3 times for 6 minutes total, not 1 time for 30 minutes.

Hi @poh,

 

in the options of a scene you can change "Allow to restart a running scene" to NO.

Then a new instance of the scene will only run when no other instance of this scene is running at the moment.

Damn, thanks man, worked liked a charm. When timeout is set there are no logs and script wait these 2 minutes, no other script instances turning on
