dbuss Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'm using an Elk motion sensor to turn on a stairs light when it senses motion. Which it does just fine. Then I want the light to turn off in 10 minutes. I can't get the light to turn off. I have two light switches(one at the top of the stairs and one at the bottom of the stairs) that are linked in a scene called Stairs Light. I've tried using motion to turn on the scene and that works fine. I've tried turning off the scene after 10 minutes and the scene will not turn off. Below is the program I'm currently using. Stairs Light On Night If From 9:00:00PM To Sunrise (next day) And Elk Zone 'Upstairs MS' is Violated Then In Scene 'Stairs Light' Set 'Stairs Light - Top of Stairs' 35% (On Level) Wait 10 minutes Set Scene 'Stairs Light' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Link to comment
MWareman Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 As soon as the MS changes to not violated, the 'If' changes to false - cancelling your wait and off statement. Link to comment

Your pogram sees the Off and runs the Else section, stopping the Then section from finishing Either make a disabled program and call it from the first one, shorten your Wait 10 minutes, or lengthen your MS time off delay so it survives the Wait 10 minutes timer. If From 9:00:00PM To Sunrise (next day) <----these two lines can cause Else to run and Then to stop And Elk Zone 'Upstairs MS' is Violated <---- Then Run Program2 Else ---- Program 2 (disabled) If -- Then In Scene 'Stairs Light' Set 'Stairs Light - Top of Stairs' 35% (On Level) Wait 10 minutes Set Scene 'Stairs Light' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Link to comment
MWareman Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Put your 'Then' into a separate program (with no 'If' clause), and change the original program to call the new program instead of directly executing the commands. Link to comment

I figured it was something like this but had no idea what to do. I appreciate your help. Thank you. Link to comment
