bwbeisne Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Hello. I have been focusing on many motion related tasks lately. I have some pretty nice functionality working for both the interior and exterior of my home. But... No matter what I try I cannot get a state change for Dusk/Dawn. Sensor config is full SW (jp5) Always sense is checked Light or dark. Here is what I know: (please correct me if I'm wrong here..) -Dusk/Dawn should = Off when bright -0 being darker, 128 being lighter -Takes 3-5 minutes to respond to light changes I have tried setting the threshold to reasonable and extreme limits on both the high and low side. I then placed the sensor under a bright light lamp for 10 minutes or so each time. Bright Environment w/ sensitivity set to 96 - no change Bright Environment w/ sensitivity set to 32 - no change Bright Environment w/ sensitivity set to 120 - no change Bright Environment w/ sensitivity set to 10 - no change I really want to trigger scenes with motion if it's cloudy or dim inside and I'm at a loss to get this status into the ISY. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Xathros Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 My guess is all tests have been too bright. Try putting the sensor in a dark drawer for 5 minutes. Also, I believe that after changing jumper settings, you need to tap the set button and wait 10 or so seconds with no motion before the new settings take effect- vague memory from reading the manual for one of these ages ago. -Xathros
bwbeisne Posted April 25, 2014 Author Posted April 25, 2014 I just tried the shoebox method and got an 'ON'. Sweet. Thx. I don't remember what sensitivity is stored currently. Stay tuned... ))
