DevonSprings Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Hi All, Ok, got my one motion sensor working for part of my kitchen, works well actually. But my kitchen is somewhat big, it is 35' long, and 15' wide. Motion sensor triggers when you are half way into the kitchen. So I need two Motion Sensors for the same room. Now I need the off to work in a different way, something like From MotionSensor2 Off Event If MotionSensor 1 has not fired in the last minute Then Set Scene Kitchen Off And from MotionSensor 1 Off If MotionSensor 2 has not fired in the last minute Then Set Scene Kitchen Off But I don't know how often the Motion Sensor fires the "On" program. Is there a way to tell? Has anyone done this. I am new to ISY-99 but I really like it. Devon
Sub-Routine Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Hello Devon, I have two motion sensors and did some experimenting. Finally a use for the parenthesis You should use two programs. If Control 'Kitchen Motion Sensor' is switched On Or Control 'Kitchen Sensor 2' is switched On Then Set Scene 'Kitchen Motion Fast' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If ( Status 'Kitchen Motion Sensor' is Off And Status 'Kitchen Sensor 2' is Off ) And ( Control 'Kitchen Motion Sensor' is not switched On Or Control 'Kitchen Sensor 2' is not switched On ) Then Wait 1 minute Set Scene 'Kitchen Motion Slow' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I use 2 different scenes; the On scene has a quick ramp rate and the Off scene has a longer ramp rate. This gives one a chance to move if the lights begin to fade. The motion sensor will only fire an On after it has sent an Off. The timeout can be adjusted using the motion sensor options: Linking_a_Motion_Sensor. I have mine set to 30 seconds but of course you should use the parameter that best fits your needs. Rand
DevonSprings Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 Rand, Worked Brilliantly, And I see the () were what i Needed on an earlier program as soon as it went off it would come right back on again. Many Thanks, ISY-99 Rocks!
