Multiple motion sensors...

Say I have three motion detectors: Motion1, Motion2, Motion3

I’d like to do some action if there’s any motion from any of them. So do I create a condition like: MotionDetected where it has Motion1Tripped OR Motion2Tripped OR Motion3Tripped and then go from there?

Would I need a repeat checkbox checked?

I’m certainly not the expert here, but the OR condition is the default :-). You just add multiple triggers for your scene. If ANY of the motion sensors are tripped, the scene is invoked (assuming you are triggering on motion).

The behavior is dependent on weather you have have fast acting wired motion sensors … or battery powered devices.

Without the REPEAT … you will get a trigger when the first trigger happens … you will not get any more until all ARE OFF.
With the REPEAT you will get a trigger when any detect motion, even if another motion is already in progress.

With REPEAT mirrors what you would get with Vera Scenes.

So the answer depends on what you want to do …
