Hello I am new to this forum and I hope someone is out there that can help me.
I have a scene set up on my vera3 controller that when a motion sensor is triggered a light turns on. i think that I had the scene set up properly when I play the scene from set up software it works perfectly when I try to run the scene by walking into the room it triggers and shut the light off with my delay that I have programed for it . I go back and try to trigger it again by walking into the room it doesn’t work. My question is there a certain delay time after the scene works that the switch and motion need to talk back to the controller in order for it to work again if so is there a setting that can make that time run shorter. I’m trying to use the scene in the stockroom which people will walk into leave and then shortly after come back again at some points just trying to fix that scenario. Any help would be much appreciated
Which motion sensor are you using?
In general, the motion sensor may have its own ‘delay’ setting, and it may also be programmable. You could then use the motion sensor to turn the light both on and off.
If the delay in the motion sensor is longer than the delay in Vera, the motion sensor may not send another ‘trip’ to Vera until the delay in the motion sensor has expired.
Thanks for your reply
it is a Aeon Labs Aeotec 4-in-1 indoor/outdoor
thats got to be whats happening
Does anyone have any idea on how to change that delay time in that multisensor
You set this with configuration parameter 3 - two byte decimal seconds. The default is 240 seconds and the allowed range is 1-15300. When the value is greater than 255 seconds, it is rounded to minutes.
Quote from the manual: When this value is not larger than 255s, the time will be the value that is set. When the value is set larger than 255s, the Multisensor will convert this value to minutes using the following function. If value mod 60 ==0, minute value will be value divide 60, else minute value will be value divide 60 +1.
I do the same thing.
I have:
Wake-up interval: 720
Poll this node every: 360
Parameter 3 motion timeout: 5
Thank you everyone for your help now it works perfect!!!
Does anyone know if a scene like this can be triggered to turn off when sensing no motion Instead of shutting off on the delay ?
Sure you can have a scene triggered by the motion sensor turning off (not Tripped).
Sooner or later most people turn to the Program Logic Event Generator (PLEG) plugin to implement their motion-controlled lights. This allows considerable flexibility in timing, day/night adjustments and manual overrides. There are many examples and complete threads for this application on this forum. You could start with PLEG Basics.
Thanks for your help much appreciated
