Insteon Motion Detector set up help

[AnthemAVM]

I have a insteon motion dector near my front door.

 

My current lights come on a sunset and stay on tell 10pm. What I would like to do is after 10pm if the motion detector goes on, the front lights turn on for 3 minutes then off.

 

So I have this program.

 

If

From 10:01:00PM

To Sunrise (next day)

And Status 'Front Yard Motion - Sensor' is On

 

Then

Set 'Outside - Front Porch Lights' On

 

Else

Wait 3 minutes

Set 'Outside - Front Porch Lights' Off

 

The problem is between sunset and 10pm if the motion dector goes on, the lights go off.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Hi AnthemAVM,

 

Please create two programs: one for the morning and one for night.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

I did something similar with a Togglelinc and 2420M motion detector. My front porch lights come on only at night for 10 minutes if motion is detected. I also provided for a Fast Off override in case I wanted to go outside and keep the lights off.

 

In another post on this forum, Michel gave me the key hint of using Enable/Disable on a program to ensure the Wait command isn't interrupted with new motion events.

 

The diagram and source code is posted here: http://www.handymanhowto.com/2009/05/31/automate-exterior-lights-with-an-insteon-wireless-motion-sensor/

 

I think you could readily adapt the code to suit your needs.

 

Thanks,

Bob
