Neo coolcam light/motion pir

Post by robbert1977 »

Hi,

Quite new on Domoticz and testing and trying to learn :)

I bought a Neo Coolcam Z-WAVE PLUS 2
Inclusion went fine, devices went fine, motion detection, lux parameter, temperature all ok.
However when I read the manual if parameter 8 is enabled it should listen to parameter 5. (see pictures below)
You see that the Lux is above 1000 but that both switches on movement are switched on.
I totally expected to see at least one off based on the settings 5 and 8..
Where do I go wrong? I want based on Lux parameter and movement the light to be switched on, of course that can be programmed by if lux and if motion .. but I expect that one of the devices should do that automatically right?

Kind regards robbert

Your picture attached is not showing for some reason. But I looked up the manual.

What kind devices does the sensor create after inclusion in Domoticz? I use sort of same sensors from D-link. After inclusion a motion sensor, temperture sensor and lux meter are created in Domoticz. In my case the motion sensor always switches on of motion is detected, it is not dependent on lux level of so. I'm not sure, but I think you should let Domoticz do the intelligent stuff (like switching on a light only if lux is below certain value). You can do so by using Blocky or DzVents scripts. If I'm right it is not possible to make use of the processing capabilities of the device itself. For this to work you probable need a hub of some kind.
Domoticz beta, on Raspberry Pi 3B, Raspian Buster
Zwave, Zigate, RFlink etc.

Hey Geitje,

Thank you for your reply!
Picture not showing... thats dissapointing :S
Idea is that it's easier to just have an device activated on lux+motion instead of having a dzvent script running everytime there is motion and then see the lux is still to high. The parameters in the manual (see link below) also show in hardware section of domoticz so I assumed one of the devices mentioned below should work as described in the manual on motion and lux..

But I got 5 devices from this PIR:
- sensor - switch / light
- Home security - switch / light
- Lux - measurement
- Temp measurement
- Home security alert alarm
