PLTS/PLEG need some help

Plugins & Plugin Development Program Logic (PLEG)
1

I am really feeling dumb. I guess trying to come to grips with using a gui to ‘write logic’ is just bouncing off my hard head. I love the idea and will run with it once I actually get a grip on things.

VERY simple scenario. Motion when dark turns on a light for 10 minutes.

First, I am using PLTS is that the right choice?

Started simple, have motion, trigger light on. Not sure how to start timer to turn it off?

Also, for ‘night’ detection would prefer to use output of my 4 in 1 sensor, “if light level < 300”
where is that done.

I hate asking for idiot step by step directions but am just not figuring out what goes where. I did check your website for examples but could not take those and adapt them in my tiny little mind.

I found this
http://rts-services.com/Vera/Plugin/PLTS/TypicalLightMotion/
However its throwing a 403 Forbidden when I click on it.

Its a helluva logic device I will give you that!

You do this with PLTS.
Step 1. - PLTS Conditions …
Set the interval, ResetState: OFF, SwitchMode: Immediate Toogle/Delayed Reset

Step 2. - PLTS Actions
Add actions for ON and OFF.
This is similar to creating a scene.

Step 3. - Test
Arm the PLTS
Click the ON and OFF buttons and verify the actions are working.
Click the OFF and the Trigger and verify the timer is working.

Step 4. - Automate - Define Inputs
Add Trigger Inputs for:
Motion - 4 in 1 indicates Motion
Add - Device Property
LightLevel - 4 in 1 light level parameter

Step 5. - Automate - Define Conditions
Trigger: Motion and (LightLevel < 300)

;D Thank You! Test scenario is working fine and things are now making a lot more sense.
Just needed a push to get me going. All I can say is WOW!

I am slowly getting the hang of PLTS. I agree, it is a great plug-in. Unfortunately, I am learning purely by trial-and-error since the website http://rts-services.com seems to be down. Is it going to be turned back on again?
