A 2420M motion sensor is used to detect any visitor during the evening hours at my house. When motion the motion sensor is on a number of lights turn on inside the house. They stay on for X min then turn off.

 

The other night the motion sensor did not reset to off (per the ISY). I was not at home and had no means of trying to reset the motion sensor on the ISY by walking into the path of the motion sensor to trigger another event.

 

As a result I turned off the program (via Mobilinc) that controls the reaction to the motion sensor as I did not want to chance that the lights inside the house would keep cycling on/off (if the sensor was indeed stuck in the "on" position).

 

Any suggestions on how to improve upon my program idea or what other action I might have tried?

Hello saflight,

 

You could create a program which watches how long the ms is switched on, if it is on longer than x time then disable the lights programs. Another program could be used to watch for the ms Off command which would re-enable the lights program.

 

or possible 1 program below, although I haven't tried it, it may work for you.

 

If

motion switched on

and motion not switched off

 

Then

wait x minutes

disable lights program

Turn off lights

 

Else

Enable lights program

 

Something along those lines anyway.
