dkucic Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Seems the II On only setting is different from the older ver I as motion is sensed. I cannot find documentation on this but it seems on only still will only still honor the timeout with continual re-triggers. So if you use an on event to reset a ISY timer, if someone keeps moving around before the sensor timeout (30 seconds default but can be changed) it will not send another on until you get 30 seconds of no motion followed by motion. So seems better option is to start a countdown on the off event and pause after another on event. Maybe with some longer timeout for a missed off. I just wish these would have the ability(option) to not restart the timeout for on only events. Then you could set the timer to how long to avoid resending ons to minimize battery reduction. Can someone confirm the version I on sense option is pretty much gone in the ver II? I hate the lack of documentation on these especially the options in ISY. Seems like if the use of Tooltips/help links would greatly benefit all ISY users.
dkucic Posted June 3, 2019 Author Posted June 3, 2019 As a result this is how I solve occupancy using 2 programs. Let me know if a better way but so hard to find examples in this forum? I used now with On/Off commands and 30 second timer on the Motion Sensor II. I only want the lights to turn on if requested via a button press or Alexa so no motion on.
