Motion sensor help needed

[EricK]

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')

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.

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.

Thanks, that is how I have it set but will have to check again on the time. Eric

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.

You want them to turn OFF in response to an ON command from the switch? Adding the suggested condition would simply retrigger the timer.

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')

I misunderstood your request, then. You could further modify your program to look for kpl OFF commands and turn the light off manually.
