Help with last run condition

[rs1978]

i am using a motion sensor to turn lights and ring a bell. If motion is sensed multiple times in a minute, i don't want the bell to ring multiple time (but want lights to stay on longer)

 

So i tried using the condition

 

Time is After Last Run Time of Ring_Bell + 1 minutes.

 

What i found is that the condition is true only at Last Run + 1 but false before and after.

 

Is this how it is supposed to behave?

Yes. A specific time is True only at that specific time.

 

Post the Program. Rather than go through a series of Q&A, looking at the Program will usually answer most of the questions. Right click Program name, select Copy to Clipboard, paste to forum post.

you probably want some sort of wait after you run the bell from the button. But you have to have something AFTER the wait like a query or else the ISY will ignore the wait since it's waiting for nothing. Wait does not work like sleep does in other languages.
