Help with a 2420M

[Ledcomp]

I have been trying to use a 2420M motion detector to control the lights in my front yard.

 

I would like

1 - The lights to turn on to 40% at dusk (2420M dusk/dawn sensor)

2 - Turn off at dawn (2420M dusk/dawn sensor)

3 - go to 100% for 3 minutes if it is dusk and if motion is detected.

 

The 2420M is set to send off commands and night only mode is off.

 

I currently have 2 programs. 1 is for dusk/dawn and the other is for motion.

The Front exterior scene sets the lights to 40%.

 

The problem is that the lights turn on in the daytime and the dusk/dawn sensor is false.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

 

 

Program for front dusk

 

If

Control 'Front - Motion - Sensor / Front - Motion - Dusk' is switched On

And Control 'Front - Motion - Sensor / Front - Motion - Dusk' is not switched Off

 

Then

Set Scene 'Front Exterior' On

 

Else

Wait 30 seconds

Set Scene 'Front Exterior' Off

 

 

 

Program for front motion

 

If

Control 'Front - Motion - Sensor / Front - Motion - Dusk' is switched On

And-(

| Control 'Front - Motion - Sensor' is switched On

| And Control 'Front - Motion - Sensor' is not switched Off

-)

 

Then

Set Scene 'Front Exterior' Fast On

 

Else

Set Scene 'Front Exterior' On

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks

How about using 2 programs.

 

"MS Dark"
If
       Motion-Sensor - Dusk/Dawn' is switched On
   And Motion-Sensor-Dusk/Dawn' is not switched Off

Then
       Set 'Porch Light' 40%

Else
       Wait  4 minutes 
       Set 'Porch Light' Off

 

 

and

 

"Outside Motion After Dark"

If
       Control 'Sensors / Bedroom Motion-Sensor' is switched On
   And Program 'MS Dark' is True

Then
       Set 'Porch Light' On
       Wait  3 minutes 
       Set 'Porch Light' 40%

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

I believe fitzpatri8 is right, break this into 2 programs,

 

What is happening is since the ms is not set to night only, during the day when the ms detects motion it switches on and off. When it switches off it trips your else statement which turns on "Front Exterior."

 

Also, you will want to change "Control 'Front - Motion - Sensor / Front - Motion - Dusk' is switched On" to "Status 'Front - Motion - Sensor / Front - Motion - Dusk' is On". Otherwise the "else" will run anytime the ms turns on or off and "then" will only run when both the ms and dusk sensor turn on at exactly the same time, which would never happen.
