Turn off light after x sexonds dows not work as expected

Post by burton666 »

I am trying to configure the blocky so that every time motion is detected the "countdown timer" gets reset to 900 sec. But as it works now it flickers off/on very quickly from time to time. Should it work theoreticly as I want or have I made any error?

1e line: first motion must be off before resetting counter thats not what you want.
you want everytime there is moiton reset the counter to 900.

So you have to Remove Datorrum motion=Off

I tried changing it to "when motion = ON and Light = ON, turn off after 900 sec" but it still flickers off/on quite often. So it seams that the 900 second timer does not reset after each new movement.

what will work is a dummy switch with a turn off timer that you turn on instead off the block with 900 seconds. the dummy switch will reset its timer when turned on if it is still on. i struggled with this too and that was the solution for me.
