I have some flows to turn off the lights when the different zones become inactive.
My problem is that the zone becomes inactive when I brush my teeth at night. And the zone wont reactivate when I wave my hands inn the dark trying to tell the Aeotec Multisensor 7 that im still alive!
So the Motion Untrigger Time must be greater than the Motion Retrigger Time!
@DingDong, if the MS7 is the only sensor in the zone that activates/deactivates the zone, you can use the This zone became active and This zone is inactive for 10 minutes
@DirkG I guessed wrong, but I didn’t get any confirmation, until now that is
@Geir_DANIELSEN
I’ve also moments when the light turns off while I’m still in the room
I think this flow reduces that quite a bit, by adding a timer;
Every time the zone is re-activated, the timer is paused
When the zone is inactive, start the timer with a duration of X seconds, and the light turns off when the timer is finished:
The reason why your flow doesn’t work as you wish is, because you use the delay card instead of a timer, like Peter does.
The problem with the delay card is, once the flow has been started because the zone became inactive for a short moment, the light will be switched off after 30 seconds, independent of if the zone was activated again within the 30 seconds.
So you can use the card “Zone is inactive for x minutes”, or you can use a timer (see Peter’s example, or this tutorial).
