Help with Lua script please

[markk]

I had an event in blockly to run if no one was home and the front or back door sensor was triggered but, because my door sensors are always "on" and you can't (as far as I'm aware) define "other devices" or "device changed" in blockly, it run true every time the last person left the house and the "someone home" switch turned off.

So, I tried to do the same thing with lua using the script below but it runs true even if "someone home" is "on". I can't see what I have done wrong.

Remove first ( and place it in front of the other ( after 'and' .

sensors remain on because no off signal is sent.
Edit the device and set the "off delay" to a value like 5 or so. That way the sensor will turn off by itself.

@mrf68 thanks for that. much appreciated. you wouldn't believe how long that has had me stumped.

@manjh - they are SelectPlus motion sensors. for some reason, unknown to me, the off delay has not effect. they just stay on!
