Bathroom lights motion program

[Mark Sanctuary]

Here is what I came up with for our bathroom lights with adding a motion sensor. I had to come up with an idea on how to avoid it shutting off the lights when someone is in the shower where it won't pick up the motion, so I have included a "bathtime" schedule where the delay is longer.

 

Master Bath Motion

 

If
       Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Motion' is switched On
   And Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Motion' is not switched Off

Then
       Run Program 'Master Bath Lights Check Bathtime' (If)

Master Bath Lights Switched On

 

If
       Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Main' is switched On
    Or Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Main' is switched Fast On
    Or Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Tub' is switched On
    Or Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Tub' is switched Fast On

Then
       Run Program 'Master Bath Lights Check Bathtime' (If)

Master Bath Lights Switched Off

 

If
       Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Main' is switched Off
    Or Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Main' is switched Fast Off
    Or Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Tub' is switched Off
    Or Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Tub' is switched Fast Off

Then
       Stop program 'Master Bath Lights Delay 5 Min'
       Stop program 'Master Bath Lights Delay 30 Min'
       Set Scene 'Master Bath / Master Bath' Off

Master Bath Lights Check Bathtime (disabled)

 

If
       From     6:00:00AM
       To      Sunrise +  1 hour  (same day)
    Or From    Sunset  -  1 hour 
       To      11:00:00PM (same day)

Then
       Stop program 'Master Bath Lights Delay 5 Min'
       Run Program 'Master Bath Lights Delay 30 Min' (If)

Else
       Run Program 'Master Bath Lights Delay 5 Min' (If)
       Stop program 'Master Bath Lights Delay 30 Min'

Master Bath Lights Delay 5 Min (disabled)

 

If
       Program 'Any "Master Bath" Lights On' is True

Then
       Wait  5 minutes 
       Run Program 'Master Bath Lights Switched Off' (Then Path)

Master Bath Lights Delay 30 Min (disabled)

 

If
       Program 'Any "Master Bath" Lights On' is True

Then
       Wait  30 minutes 
       Run Program 'Master Bath Lights Switched Off' (Then Path)

Any "Master Bath" Lights On

 

If
       Status  'Master Bath / Master Bath Main' is not Off
    Or Status  'Master Bath / Master Bath Tub' is not Off

Round two. I reworked this program, the first version had places where it could go awry. This version also will have the basic function even when the motion sensor does not work or batteries go.

I use this in conjunction with the Bathroom fan timer program.

I like your thought about using the time of day to determine whether someone might be using the shower. Very creative.

Thanks! This has worked well so far, no one has yelled out, "I'm in the dark, can you PLEASE turn the lights back on".

I see how you can program the delay, but how many delays can you set? Also, if the delay int he morning is longer than in the afternoon, what is the typical delay you use? I think this could be a tricky function, but I do see the value in making it different.
