Domoticz

Hi all,

I've got several Aeotec Multisensor 6 devices in my network, each serving 1 room (main bathroom, shower, toilet and hall).
I want to use them for motion detection icm with a Fibaro dimmer 2 module.
I have created several Blockly events; 1 for each room, but it seems that once the Aeotec Multisensor detects motion, there is some kind of default 'timeout' before it will detect movement again. Does anybody know where I can find this setting in Domoticz ? The strange thing is, the Blockly event for the toilet works like it should. It detects movement, lights switches on (like expected) and light switches off once motion sensor switches off.
However, light switches off for a short moment once the motion sensor switches back to 'off' (no motion). What I would like is that the light actually switches on when movement is detected, a timer starts to run for, say, 5 mins. Then, when motion sensor switches off it should activate again because of movement, resetting the timer again, so that the lights keep on, until no motion is detected.

Hope I express myself clearly....

I found the 'timeout' setting. It's parameter 3, which can be found under Setup / Hardware ; click on razbery device (I use a raspberry pi with a Razzbery GPIO module) ; then select one of the Aeotec Multisensors. Parameters are shown below the overview.
Or, when in the Nodes overview (As described above), select the pull down menu called 'Node management' on the right side above the Node overview, select Control Panel (last option). In the node overview, select one of the Aeotec sensors, click on the radio button 'Configuration' and there you'll find it, it's called 'On time'.

Well, next question. What would be a best practice value for this timeout ? I would say, make it quite short, like a few seconds. That way it detects every few seconds for movement. The delay on the fibaro dimmer for the lights to stay on could be quite short as well than. Resulting in always light when movement, and only a relative short time the light stays on after no motion is detected. Any thoughts ?

I use the default value which is 4 minutes.
My blocky scipts is like ...

If motion sensor = on
do set bathroom light on


If motion sensor = off
do set bathroom light off

Works fine

I have it set to 15 minutes in my attic and bathroom. In our living room it is set to 1 hour. I have been fiddling around with it for a while. With different settings like "if movement is detected switch on lights for 15 minutes" after 15 minutes the lights will switch off, you'll have to move again and the lights are switched back on again.
With these settings if I move somewhere during that time set it will be prolonged.
