I am looking for some ideas on how to handle this.
Let’s say there are 2 people leaving in the same house. I have the phone locator plugin to identify if people are home or away.
I am trying to implement a scene when one person leaves the house, the trigger is iPhone locator check distance going above 0.1 mile and other trigger is if the garage door sensor is triggered. If so, the garage door closes. As a way to operate the garage door, I have used a solution offered on this forum with a zwave outlet together with a relay. I basically send a signal to the outlet to turn on and 3 seconds later to go off. Been working great.
So I setup the same thing for the other person.
The problem, if both are leaving at the same time, in the same car, I am concerned that it might do the same thing at the same time, and therefore closing then opening or god know what.
I thought of giving a different distance for the triggering point, but I am not sure that the iPhone locator plugin is that accurate.
Any ideas how to handle that one ?
Thanks
IN PLEG you could use the following:
CloseGarageDoor (Person1GeoFence or Person2GeoFence) and GarageDoorOpen
Then it does not matter which person causes a GeoFence to trip … only one CloseGarageDoor action will fire.
The actions for this condition is here you call Lock the GarageDoorPlugin or cycle the relay.
You would leave the “Repeats” flag OFF for this condition.
sounds good.
Only problem, I am kind of new to this. Do you know any good tutorial for PLEG programming ?
Have you check the PLEG forum … http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/board,48.0.html
There are video’s and a getting started guide.
Didn’t see it.
It’s perfect. Thanks for your help.
