Rapidway

Yes they are in. I do see that when I press each switch or both the integer value is changing to #1 I changed the time and will check it out today. Thanks If ( Control 'Front Yard Lawn' is switched On Or Control 'Front Yard Driveway' is switched On ) And ( Control 'Front Yard Lawn' is not switched Off Or Control 'Front Yard Driveway' is not switched Off ) Then $Manual.Lights = 1 Else $Manual.Lights = 0 ======================== If From 6:00:00AM To 2:00:00PM (next day) And $Manual.Lights is 0 And Control 'MS-Front Yard-Sensor' is switched On Then Run Program 'FrontLightsManual' (Then Path) Else Set 'Front Yard Lawn' Off Set 'Front Yard Driveway' Off

Well I went through it all and I noticed that the Manual.Lights value was stuck on #1 so I changed it and it start functioning properly. I turned on both switches and the motion wouldn't effect it. Then when they were off the MS detected motion it would turn the lights on for the 30 secs. I then tried to turn on just one of the light switches and it did act up. I turn them on and it would go off and the motion would turn the lights back off when they were on. I think maybe that value is back to #1 again. I'll mess around with it again tomorrow. I'm thinking it has something to do with the two switches when I don't turn them both on at the same time. I would like to just be able to turn on the yard lights, leave the Driveway lights off when someone is backing out of the driveway at night. I also like the idea on tracking the motion triggers at any time too. Thanks again for your help and this program is looking pretty good so far.

Now that I removed the MS from that scene it does not turn the lights on any more

That is the options setting in the FrontLightInteger Program

Sorry that timeout (minutes) [0.5]. The program summary status is false.

I will go through what you just mentioned. I did have the MS in a scene with the switches which I just removed it. Thanks

my MS timeout options are set to 0.5 but when triggered with motion both lights turn on the right off. It also appears that when the lights are off and i manually press them ON they stay on until motion is sensed and that turns them back off. I will keep playing with it to make sure of this... Thanks again!

I have MS options set too... Sensing Mode: [checked]As motion is sensed (checked) [unchecked] On commands only (unchecked) [unchecked]At night only (unchecked) I disabled what I had and started over to get my naming in order with this... ===FrontLightsManual======= If Control 'Front Yard Lawn' is switched On Or Control 'Front Yard Driveway' is switched On And ( Control 'Front Yard Lawn' is not switched Off Or Control 'Front Yard Driveway' is not switched Off ) Then $Manual.Lights = 1 Else $Manual.Lights = 0 =========END========== ======FrontLightsInterger======== If From 7:00:00PM To 12:00:00PM (next day) And $Manual.Lights is 0 And Control 'MS-Front Yard-Sensor' is switched On Then Run Program 'FrontLightsManual' (Then Path) Else Set 'Front Yard Lawn' Off Set 'Front Yard Driveway' Off ======END=========== I'm still testing it and don't think it's right yet....?

I do like your preferences you have laid out. (Keep in mind my main goal is say... when I go outside for several mins or longer I don't want to keep waving at the motion sensor to keep turning the lights back on when the timer runs out it's 30 secs.) So I'm going to click around in my program to get a visual on these preferences. I'm a bit lost with this. First off, I'm not sure if I have the Motion Sensor configured correctly with Night mode etc... Thanks again for your help!

Yes I guess your right. Resetting the timer would keep the lights on for me when I physically turn on the light switch yet motion would still be sensed. I'm not good at programming and I am really just testing with trial & error. Thanks!

Ok, I now have two insteon switches in my foyer area for two separate lights out in the front of the house. One turns on a 500w halogen light over the FrontYard and the other switch turns on another 500w Halogen light over the Driveway. I have one motion Sensor set to dusk-to-dawn that turns them both on when motion is sensed at night for 30 secs. While they are both (status) off, I want to manually turn the one switch or both switches and they will STAY on even if motion is detected. Currently they keep turning off after the 30 interval and don't stay on.... I am going to try this tonight. I'm not sure if i have this correct...? ===========FrontYardLightsManual====== If Control 'MS-Front Lights-Sensor' is switched On And From Sunset + 6 minutes To Sunrise + 6 minutes (next day) And Status 'Front Yard Lawn' is Off And Status 'Front Driveway' is Off Then Run Program 'FrontLightsMotionTimer' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ===========END====== ===========FrontLightsMotionTimer====== If Control 'Front Yard Driveway' is not switched On And Control 'Front Yard Lawn' is not switched On Then Set 'Front Yard Driveway' Fast On Set 'Front Yard Lawn' Fast On Wait 45 seconds Set 'Front Yard Driveway' Off Set 'Front Yard Lawn' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ===========END==========

Xathros, I just setup and tested your "TIMER" program and it works like a charm! Thanks again everyone..! M

I just setup your above suggestion. I'll check it out tonight. Thanks!

I have an (2842-222) INSTEON Motion Sensor that when triggered will turn on three (2477S) Dual Band SwitchLinc On/Off Switches during dusk/Dawn. They are set to turn back off in 30 Secs. All that works just fine but say I want to manually turn on them lights on they don't say on past that 30 secs. How can I get them to motion "ON" for 30 secs, and at the same time turn them "ON" and the stay "ON" till I shut them off...?

So It could possibly work if I link each detector to it's own Smoke Bridge. I would then have 4 SB's and 4 Detectors....

I ordered a Smoke Bridge with 4 First Alert SCO501CN-3ST ONELINK's. It's a bit over my head but is it possible after these devises are installed linked-up to have the Smoke Bridge when triggered to turn on all of my Insteon (SwitchLinc) lights in the house? My goal would be to have the lights in them rooms turn on 2 secs/off 1 sec each interval, three times then they would all stay on. Now the room where the smoke/CO detector was violated it would blink at 1/2 sec on then 1/2 sec off for 5 seconds then stay on. I'm not sure if this will work but I'll try. Thanks Mark
