ThisIsTheWay Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 I currently have a scene with a light and door sensor. The light turns on and off instantaneously when the door is opened and closed. I want to adjust this logic so the light will remains on for 5 minutes after the door closes. The only way I can figure to do this is to remove the light and door sensor from the scene and create program that when the door is open turn on the light then another for when the door is closed, wait 5 minutes then turn off the light. What is fear is that the program will delay the how quickly the light turns on. I really cannot have a delay to the on function. Is there some other way to achieve this?
TomL Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Couldn't you just leave the current scene, then have a program that if status of light is on then wait 5 mins and turn off?
markv58 Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 I use 2 programs: Entry Light On - [ID 0005][Parent 0046] If 'Devices / Sensors / Door / Front- Door Sensor' Status is On Then Set 'Rooms / Entry / Entry Ceiling Light' On Else Run Program 'Entry Light Off' (Then Path) Entry Light Off - [ID 0006][Parent 0046] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Wait 1 minute Set 'Rooms / Entry / Entry Ceiling Light' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

No. Scenes resides in devices which respond much faster than programs can so there no way to override it. There will be a delay with a program but wouldn't be too much of one. I'd try it and see how bad it is. You may be able to live with it.

Will the light turn off 1 minute after the first closure or the second? Edited September 30, 2020 by uffy

Will the light turn off 1 minute after the first closure or the second? As written if the second opening is during the wait it will restart the wait, so one minute after the second opening. There is a way to force the one minute wait to expire and the light to shut off before it can be re-triggered. Takes 2 more lines in the 2nd program: Entry Light Off - [ID 0006][Parent 0046] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Disable Entry Light On Wait 1 minute Set 'Rooms / Entry / Entry Ceiling Light' Off Enable Entry Light On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
