Should  the time the lights stay on be controlled by the options of the motion sensor itself (which im doing now) or by a wait command.  Can someone recommend the best way to do this?

 

 

Thanks

Using the properties of the MS results in a quicker response. A program makes it easy to change the on duration.

I only saw the option to go to 30 seconds but not lower.  Im new to this  would you be able to show me an example program?

Set the motion sensor options to send an On only.

 

Program

If

        Control 'Motion Sensor' is switched On

 

Then

        Set 'scene with light' On

        Wait x hours, y minutes, z seconds

        Set 'scene with light' Off

That works.  Thanks.  What happens if I want the light to be on by the switch, will this program affect that?

Yes, it will. You'll need a more sophisticated program that either won't run if the light is already on or will run only when the light is off.

How would I disable the motion sensor when I open the door so I can have the lights stay on longer when I enter the house and the door sensor is triggered?
