Hello,  
I am wondering how you guys deal with this.  
Let s say we have a motion detector that turns on a light when sees movement then turns it off when no mouvement.  
Let s say the light turns on and i choose to turn the light off with the switch. When i go again in the room the motion detector is still in alarm so the light wont turn on untill motion alarm is off.  
Is there a way to reset motion alarm or another solution ?

It depends on the motion sensor, some have a configurable “blind time” setting (which is the amount of time the sensor will ignore motion since the last time it was triggered).
