I know this is fairly common, but there are many ways and I can’t really understand the solutions people are suggesting. I just want a quick sanity check. My situation/solution: I have a wyze motion sensor that detects motion, then will give the command “motion cleared” after 45 seconds. I’m trying…

Welcome @pipersparkz !! The use case that @Drivingforce is liking is the newest version of @jrmckins amazing article ( https://iused2besmart.wordpress.com/2019/10/29/the-new-apilio/ ) , using the latest features we released :slight_smile: Have a look at that one :point_down: and let us know if you h…

So I actually just saw someone had posted this on a thread a year ago. I didn’t click on it at first because I thought it was an ad :sweat_smile:. It’s lengthy (but very creative!) way to accomplish the retriggering of the “off delay” if motion is detected again. I like this a lot, and it sounds lik…

Welcome Pipeerspakz I used that a lot for my motion sensors! It has now been superseded by Apilio, I now use this for my motion sensors. It works well [image] Timeout and presence sensors: turn on a light when someone is at the door Apilio Use Cases @jrmckins shared a ver…

Oh interesting, so there is no false (motion cleared) action being sent from IFTTT in this method. So even if the boolean never gets set to false, when IFTTT reads motion and pings the variable the timeout timer will be reset? It hasn’t been working with the false action being sent, but maybe it’s …

Yes, there is no “false”, because many PIR sensors just don’t have one event that does that: they only have the “true” event, when they detect something. By adding a timeout to that condition, you are effectively resetting the information you got from the sensor by saying that you only consider it t…

Amazing! It works like a charm lol. I should’ve posted for help a week ago. I actually read that article earlier, but for some reason it took a while to click for me. Thank you so much! Please keep it up guys, y’all are awesome!! :pray:t2:

Hey y’all I have one more question… I’ve subbed the “it’s dark outside” function for a “I’m in the kitchen” condition and added it to my logic block. So if it is false, that means I’m in the kitchen and do nothing. But if the logic block as already been triggered and I make the other condition false…

So the lights keep turning off even though my “I’m in the kitchen” variable is false. Is this because when my motion sensor detects motion it’s triggering the logic block regardless? Here’s a screenshot of the actions: [image] [image]

Having a quick look so i have straight in my head I may be stating the obvious When you are not in the kitchen you want a light to come on But when you are in the kitchen you want it to go off. I assume you want to to go back on when you leave the kitchen. Do you have just the one motion sensor. …

Ugh sorry I know I set it up confusingly. My goal is to basically “deactivate” the logic block while I’m in the kitchen so the light doesn’t turn off. For some reason the lights will still go off when I’m still in the kitchen (probably due to the interaction between my motion sensor and IFTTT). So I…

Got you I already have the same set up. what you need is a Boolean value called Kitchenmotion a condition called ktchenmotion based on boolean value kitchenmotion required state true. Trigger condition is set and time out and delay setting 10 minutes On the logiblock true will turn on the light…

Light turn after motion clear (unless motion detected again!)
