motion detection and timeout

[necrofrost]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a small "security" enhancement to my new domoticz raspberry pi (bought a new one). Whenever my APIR-2150 (motion detector) is triggered, I want to set the garden light to on for an X amount of time. But for some reason my Blockly doesn't work properly. And since I want to try to avoid as much LUA as possible.... I'm asking here for advise.

This is my blockly

I've used the variable "garden motion detected" as a variable to store an integer in order to not keep on sending notifications. But that also doesn't work. The variable doesn't get set to 1.

if you guys need anymore information, please let me know

I think you need to use the if else blocky .
IF " gardenmotion detected=0 and time< sunset and movement = on
SET " gardenmotion detected = 1
SET " garden lights on
IF " gardenmotion detection = 1
SET" garden lights off after 1 minute.

Thanks for your response Kuifje.

Yesterday I had the PIR laying on the kitchen table and all of a sudden the garden lights turned on. after some time (I think it was the 60 seconds time out) the lights went out again. moving in the kitchen activated the light again. So apparently it works now. sometimes the pir doesn't get noticed by domoticz it looks like. very strange.
