Continuous motion detect

I want my home to switch to awake mode “enable awake mode flow that I created,” when my IR motion sensor in my room detects motion continuously for a minute or so. I know how to enable/disable flows, just a little stuck on the continuous motion part. Also when I say continuous motion, I mean motion every few seconds or so for at least 1 minute.

Would this work for you?

Flow 1

  1. IR motion trickers

  2. check if transition already running

  3. if False, Start transition with desired steps and time

Flow 2:

  1. transision step trickers

  2. check if IR motion still active
  3. if false, stop transision

Flow 3:

  1. tricker when transion finnished

  2. do what you want to do now when desired time has had cont IR detection :slight_smile:

If you want to avoid Flow 1 &2 to run, when “do what you want to do”, add e.g. timer start to flow 3, which running status you check on Flow 1 & 2

The easiest way to start with is:

WHEN zone Home is active for 1 minute
THEN ……………..

And of course you need a sensor which is fast enough and sends motion alarms every 10 seconds.

This 1 works great and is the simplest, however, I also have a presence sensor in the same zone…so this won’t work for my purposes, I guess I should have mentioned that sorry.

I’m trying to figure out what the 1st picture is, because looks like it got corrupted or something cause it’s not showing up

OK I got the “Check if transition is running” bit, but I’m still a little fuzzy on what to put where, could you possibly provide an example, cause the whole “pick” and “name” and everything else to fill out is a little confusing still as I’m very new to this.

I have this Good Morning flow that actually seems to work, but I’m not sure how it does as I don’t have anything in the “pick” section. This was my 1st attempt at using Chronograph

Then you just make a virtual/logic/subzone😁

:thinking: I think that’s actually not a bad idea lol, but I feel like there’s gotta be a simpler way.
