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.

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.

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')
