That is what I thought too. NONE of my programs make sense, but they work. If I remove the 4 minute wait, the lights shut off early with or without motion at times. The wait works. Who knows why.

As this is not a control device, I removed the turn off in the then statement and all seems well. Kitchen Ceiling Motion 6AM to 9PM - [iD 002C][Parent 001B] If 'Aeotec Sennsor 6 / ZW 009 Motion Sensor' Status is On And From 6:00:00AM To 9:00:00PM (same day) Then Set 'Kitchen / Kitchen-Light-BackDoor' On $int_kitchen_ceiling_motion = 1 Wait 4 minutes Else Set 'Kitchen / Kitchen-Light-BackDoor' Off $int_kitchen_ceiling_motion = 0 and the other light at other times: Kitchen Sink Motion 9PM to 6AM - [iD 0012][Parent 001B] If 'Aeotec Sennsor 6 / ZW 009 Motion Sensor' Status is On And From 9:01:00PM To 5:59:00AM (next day) Then Set 'Kitchen / Kitchen-Light-Sink' On Set 'Kitchen / Kitchen-Light-UnderCabinet' On $int_kitchen_sink_motion = 1 Wait 4 minutes Else Set 'Kitchen / Kitchen-Light-Sink' Off Set 'Kitchen / Kitchen-Light-UnderCabinet' Off $int_kitchen_sink_motion = 0 Thanks, and yes I just realized there are 2 - 59 second times lights would not turn on...

My Aeotec Mulisensor 6 is not showing up in the CONTROL or CONTROL (OLD) drop downs. Otherwise, I would have used those. Is that normal for this type of sensor? This sensor is new to me.

Correct. If I turn on the lights manually or it hits on motion... as in if the overhead lights come on during the day because I walked in the kitchen from the motion sensor hit then I work at the counter and turn on the sink light, both lights would then shut off if no motion after three minutes. I think I have tried the IF control method in the past. Like I said, I've tried so many combinations and they all fail in some way. I was hoping someone could help with a program they've written to do something similar. Even the simple single light on motion seems to have a problem... Of course, I know its me and the programming... though I did have to restore links at one point, that took me a whole day to work out after messing with so many program combinations. Thanks for the reply. I'll try to work on some more programs and post the problematic ones to see if that spawns more responses.

I am having a hard time with getting the programming right with the Aeotec Multisensor 6 in 1 in my environment. I have messed with so many programs and variables and have had so many different combinations of IFTTT I can't even count them all and for sake of post length, I don't want to list them all. I could use some assistance, or direction please. Here are my (wife's) requirements: Different lights to come on depending on different times of day Lights turns on with motion Lights stay on for 3 minutes regardless of motion There are times in the kitchen (like chopping) that motion sensors don't like Turns on with switch But shuts off unless motion Turns off with switch But allows for reentry within a few seconds in case of forgetfullness At the moment I have two programs that turns on an overhead light between 9pm to 6am and a sink light between 6am to 9pm similar to below: If sensor status is on and between 6am to 9pm then sinklight on wait 3 minutes sinklight off else sinklight off Some of problems I'm experiencing with the above, which may or may not be related: Random lights turn off when there is clearly motion... (Biggest wife complaint) Very LONG time before lights turning on regardless of time, entering the kitchen with hands waving like kid seeing his idol... Sometimes lights won't come on at all Turning lights off will shut lights off but some back on shortly after once I've left room Switching on lights manually won't turn them off after a period of no motion Aeotec Multisensor 6 Parameters: 3: 180 4: 5 The Multisensor has been tried with battery power and USB. I've tried so many different combos, I'm ready to give up and start over and ask for help from ground 0! Thanks in advance. Chris

WOW. I was so stuck on "disabling" the motion detectors that I skipped the obvious! I even have other buttons to disable programs! Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

I have 2 motion sensors in our kitchen... (2 for visibility). There are 2 - 3way switches linked together that control the light. The sensors are not linked to the switches nor in any scene with switches, only a single program. I have created a -30m before sunset and -30m after sunrise (next day) to control the kitchen switches(light). This all works great... the switch controls light correctly, the motion senses and turns on the light during the evening times, etc... Here's my question. When leaving the room, sometimes I press the off switch ( weird, I was taught this growing up )... But the motion will catch me leaving the room and turn the light back on. There is a time out on the switch without motion, but was wondering if upon "if switched off" that I could disable the motion for 10 seconds or so to give me time to vacate the motion sensors reach??? TIA Chris
