trzebrand Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 I am tring to use the sensor for security and tring to right a program where i use a switch to activate the motion sensor and then anytime motion is sensed notify my by text. Right know everytime i turn the switch on it emails me. Do you know what commands i should use for this applacation.
LeeG Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 trzebrand Not sure what is meant by a switch activating the Motion Sensor. The Motion Sensor itself cannot be controlled by another Insteon device. An ISY Program If can combine the Status of the Switch being On with a Motion sensed message. Post your Program so we can see what is going on. Lee
trzebrand Posted November 12, 2011 Author Posted November 12, 2011 Ok my program is IF control"closet switch" is switched on THEN enable "motion detector living room" Else Send notifacation to "Brandon" I want to turn the closet switch on to activate and off to deactivate the motion detector. When activated if it senses motion to notify Brandon and when the switch is off to do nothing.
LeeG Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 trzebrand The current If will never drive the Else clause. The If Control On triggers the Program when an On command is received. The If will be True with the Then clause executed. With the current If definition the Program is never triggered when with a False condition and therefore the Else is not executed. Try something like this If Status 'closet switch' is On And Control 'motion detector living room' is switched On Then Send Notification to 'Brandon' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
