Hi guys,
I’m looking a way to turn off automatically my light 5 minutes after it’s was turn on.
With Domoticz I was able to do that by default but with my Vera Im still trying to figure out…
Thank you for helping me.
Set up a scene triggered by the light. Add a five-minute delay, and then as your only action, shut off that same light.
In step 2 of the scene “Device Actions” choose “Add delayed action”.
Don’t forget that you want to cancel the delay if the light is turned off earlier else if it is turned on again after say 4min 30sec it will still switch off 30 sec later.
You can’t cancel delayed actions …
But this is easily accomplished in PLEG.
Thank you.
From the Vera iOS app I can create this Turn On and add delay action after 5 minutes turn it off but I would like to manage this from Pleg someone can post this solution please?
My use case is :
Anytime Im arrive at home turn on this light for 5 minutes only but only between 7PM and 10PM.
from the Vera scene I cannot have my phone as a trigger only from iOS app.
Have a look through PLEG Basics, available in the thread of the same name. Your answer and more are available there.
or depending on motion sensor set the “MOTION ALARM CANCELLATION DELAY” (config setting 6 on the fibaro) to 5 minutes and then trigger an off scene when armed sensor is not triggered.
I tried so many things and this one works perfect and can put any logic you want in the lua
