How to shorten "IF THEN" running time

When my programs are triggered by the motion sensor and the "IF THEN" program starts, the program runs ok and flashes my lights 3 times then stops. The problem is that if another motion is sensed by the ms, it doesn't always trigger the program, especially if it is within a minute or so of the 1st event. And when I look at the Administrative console under Programs>Summary, it shows the "IF THEN" is still running and does so for several minutes. How do I get the "IF THEN" program to stop sooner, like within 5-10 seconds of the finish of the event?

Post the Program.  I suspect the issue is the Program is bring triggered by each motion. 

 

Also need the motion sensor options.

Post the Program.  I suspect the issue is the Program is bring triggered by each motion.

Ok, here is the program:

If

        Control '2D.3E.42-Sensor' is switched On

 

Then

        Repeat 3 times

           Set 'OfficeLamp' On

           Wait  2 seconds

           Set 'OfficeLamp' Off

           Wait  2 seconds

 

Else

   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

 

However, there is another program that gets triggered by the MS also:

If

        Control '2D.3E.42-Sensor' is switched On

 

Then

        Repeat 3 times

           Set 'MBedrm' On

           Wait  2 seconds

           Set 'MBedrm' Off

           Wait  2 seconds

 

Else

   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

So could this be the problem, that it triggers 2 programs?

Should not be a problem triggering two programs.   Each motion sensed will start both program over from the beginning.

 

Without knowing the motion sensor options it is not possible to say how often a motion On is sent.

Thanks, LeeG. How do I check the motion sensor options?

Click the Sensor node.   Put the motion sensor into linking  by pressing Set button until Red LED blinks continuously.  This keeps the motion sensor awake.   Click the Options button at the bottom of the Sensor node display.

The Insteon motion sensors have a built in algorithm in them that prevents re-detection of motion within a few minutes of the last detection. You may be hitting that. This is to lower the power usage of this battery operated device.

 

The first place to start is the dip switches in the motion sensor.

 

The second item is to ensure that the sensor is just sending 'On' commands on detection. This is in options. Select the motion sensor in the admin console and you will see an 'Options' button.

There is no algorithm that prevents re-detection.   See trace below for motion On messages every few seconds.

Click the Sensor node.   Put the motion sensor into linking  by pressing Set button until Red LED blinks continuously.  This keeps the motion sensor awake.   Click the Options button at the bottom of the Sensor node display.

The options show:

Timeout=1 min

As motion is sensed is not checked

LED brightness=100

On only mode is checked

Night mode Always is checked

Weather the motion sensor is locked out or not (I don't know about this), the fact that he says the program is listed as running means that it must be getting re-triggered since the program should end in about 12 seconds or so.

 

A re-trigger should start the program over and cause the lights to keep blinking.  It seems like that is not happening, but I don't know.

 

Try splitting the program in two and disabling the trigger.

 

Program 1

If

motion detector is switched on

then

run program 2

disable program 1

 

Program 2

If

blank

repeat 3 times

light on

wait 2 sec

light off

wait 2 sec

repeat 1 time

enable program 1

The motion sensor options posted will generate a motion On after 1 minute even if constant motion is sensed.  I think that is why it looks like the program is not responding when it is the motion sensor options that do not permit a motion On without the full 1 minute between.

 

Set the motion sensor options as

 

Sensing mode : checked

On only mode : not checked

Night mode : checked

 

The motion sensor will generate motion On messages with each motion and not wait for the 1 minute timeout.

That seems to be what Mwarren was talking about.  But it doesn't explain why the program is listed as running for an extended period of time.  In fact, it should prevent that.

LeeG, that's what I meant by 'algorithm'. I should have said 'timeout'.

Thanks LeeG. Once again the forum comes thru! After changing the settings to what you posted above, the program runs every time, even after as few as 5-10 seconds.

The Programs>Summary window still shows Running 'Then' in the activity column long after it finishes, but I can live with that..

There is a Refresh button at the top right that will likely correct the display.  I have seen the Admin Console not refresh when it has been executing for a long time.   Can also try restarting the Admin Console.

Thanks LeeG, never noticed that refresh button
