Hi, Like to have some suggestion how to do this. A room with 3 motion detection that I want to keep the light on when motion is present and with no motion it will turn lights off after 2min. And if the door is closed (door sensor) the light should be on as long as the door is closed. but when the door is opened again and no motion is detected the light should turn off after 2min. Thanks ---

I would use the Chronograph app timer to do the following: WHEN Motion sensor 1 detects motion Or Motion sensor 2 detects motion Or Motion sensor 3 detects motion Or door opens THEN Start timer 2 minutes WHEN timer is started AND door is open light is off THEN Turn light on WHEN timer ends AND door is open THEN turn light off WHEN Door is closed THEN stop timer ---

I would use zone activity. However you have to invert the state of the door sensor. Maybe that is an option on the hardware device or the software device. Or you can make virtual device to reflect the inverse state of the sensor. ---

Here is how I did (door sensor inverse) - thanks for your help. ![Screenshot 2025-02-12 at 22.52.54](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/4/f4826eb3314264f6b9e7053be634f644f4514676.png) ---

@LasseRy Did you figured it out yet? I think I would also follow @Rmb ‘s advice and use the Zone Activity App for this. I just wrote a tutorial on how I implemented in my setup with one motion sensor in one zone, but you can easily extend this with multiple sensors and adjust timings. Hope this helps: > [@\[HOW TO\] Gain full control over Zone Activity using Motion Sensors (PIR) and Virtual Motion Triggers](https://community.homey.app/t/advanced-flow-for-full-control-over-zone-activity-using-motion-sensors-pir-and-virtual-motion-triggers/144082): > > Introduction This is not a guide on how to implement a specific use case, but rather a framework that will give you full control over zone activity. Many flows like turning on/off lights could be done much simpler. However, when my personal flows became more complex, I ran into a lot of caveats and quirks that caused me to rethink how I work with motion sensors. I came up with this system which allowed me to solve all the bugs I ran into and I would like to share it with all of you. The problem…
