Motion sensor prgram dependent on other controllers

[jkraus]

Is this the best way to write a program to turn on and off a motion sensor controlled light but only when that light is not already on via an RL or KPL? is there another way since if I add this light to another scene or add another controller to the scene I need to go back and add them to this program. No other way to write it independent of what is controlling "garage lite" ?

 

 

If

Control '11.A0.A5-Sensor' is switched On

And Status 'KPL A' is Off

And Status 'RL Backyard #1' is Off

And Status 'RL Backyard #5' is Off

And Status 'RL Backyard #6' is Off

 

Then

Set 'Garage Lite' On

 

Else

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

 

off:

 

If

Control '11.A0.A5-Sensor' is switched Off

And Status 'KPL A' is Off

And Status 'RL Backyard #1' is Off

And Status 'RL Backyard #5' is Off

And Status 'RL Backyard #6' is Off

 

Then

 

Set 'Garage Lite' Off

 

Else

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

You could put all your controllers in one program and then check that program to be true.

 

Status Off Check
If
       Status  'Family Room KPL 2' is Off
   And Status  'House Remote 2' is Off
   And Status  'Living Room CL 2' is Off

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

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

 

Motion On
If
       Control 'Motion Sensor 2-Sensor' is switched On
   And Program 'Status Off Check' is True

Then
       Set Scene 'Kitchen Motion' On

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

 

Motion Off
If
       Control 'Motion Sensor 2-Sensor' is switched Off
   And Program 'Status Off Check' is True

Then
       Set Scene 'Kitchen Motion' Off

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

 

Then you only need to maintain the Status Off Check program.
