Reset/turn a switch/PIR off?

Sometimes Domoticz doesn't always pick up a change in a door sensor or PIR etc.

I know this isn't Domoticz fault and down to the hardware and these things happen etc. I played with positioning etc. etc. but looking for an override so for example a magnetic door sensor says it's 'open' but quite clearly the door isn't and the I'm closed signal was never received or a PIR sensor that was detecting movement and Domoticz never sees the 'off' signal sent is there way to override this?

At the moment to counter this I tend to have go trigger the sensor so Domoticz sees the open then closed signal but I can't do this if I'm away etc. and the neighbours have brought my mail in or whatever.

Apparently because of the layout of the electrics in our house it wasn't really practical to rewire the kitchen light on its own - in the future when the rest of the house is done I guess it will be sorted out properly...I do have a new MCB, all beautifully labelled - these circuits are right next to each other in there so probably not as bad as it could be.

use a simple Blockly with the following logic:

IF SENSOR-A = ON, SET SENSOR-A = OFF after X seconds.

I didn't realize you could directly effect the state of a PIR/Sensor etc. I'll try it.
