EricK Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 I bought my first motion sensor for the laundry room. I want to use it to turn the lights on only. I want the lights to turn off with a program after a set amount of time. Re-triggering the motion sensor should reset the program. Just moving jumper 4 to on only mode did not work, the lights still turned off after a minute or two. (I am controlling a bench top KPL for now.) I checked the motion sensor options in the admin console and unchecked the on only mode box (on commands only). That seems to have worked. I set the timeout to 2 minutes which seems the shortest it will accept. What about sensing mode? Any advice is appreciated. If Control 'Laundry Room / Laundry Motion Sensor-Sensor' is switched On Then Wait 25 minutes and 4 seconds Set Scene 'Laundry Room / Laundry Lights' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
stusviews Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Jumper 5 should be on for ISY control. If jumper 5 is on, then jumpers 1-4 have no effect, on or off. All control is via the ISY. Also, all my sensors allow timing in .5 min. increments down to .5 min.
LeeG Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Set the motion sensor options to ... Sensing mode: checked On Only mode: unchecked Night mode: checked With these options the motion sensor sends On commands only and at every motion detected. Your posted Program will work with these options.
EricK Posted December 13, 2014 Author Posted December 13, 2014 Thanks, that is how I have it set but will have to check again on the time. Eric
EricK Posted December 13, 2014 Author Posted December 13, 2014 I also want the lights to turn off if they are triggered by the switch. Should I just add to the if: or Control laundry lights is switched on Any motion should re trigger the program and keep the lights on. Have to maintain the WAF and don't want the lights turning off on her.
oberkc Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) You want them to turn OFF in response to an ON command from the switch? Adding the suggested condition would simply retrigger the timer. Edited December 13, 2014 by oberkc
EricK Posted December 13, 2014 Author Posted December 13, 2014 The purpose of the motion sensor is to turn the lights on if someones hands are holding a laundry basket. Also to turn them off after a period of time since they seem to get left on. If Control 'Laundry Room / Laundry Motion Sensor-Sensor' is switched On Or Control 'Laundry Room / Laundry KPL6 (DB) Laundry Lig' is switched On Then Wait 45 minutes and 4 seconds Set Scene 'Laundry Room / Laundry Lights' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
oberkc Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 I misunderstood your request, then. You could further modify your program to look for kpl OFF commands and turn the light off manually.
