Motion Light Off after 2 minutes at Nighttime

I'm looking for a script that will turn the hallway light off after no motion for 2 minutes only when its nighttime out.
Searched the forums but didnt really see what I was looking for..

can you give some examples for others browsing the forum with a similar question?

From the dzVents wiki:
"A device trigger can have a time-rule constraint: on = { devices = { ['myDevice'] = 'at nighttime' } }. This only triggers the script when myDevice was changed and the time is after sunset and before sunrise."
so if you use this as the on = section and something like
Code: Select all
if trigger.state == "On" then
domoticz.devices("hallway light").switchOn().checkFirst()
else
domoticz.devices("hallway light").switchOff()
end
in the execute = section (assuming the motion detector switches to "Off" after two minutes.) If that is not the case the script becomes a bit more compicate with either a uservar or openURL .

@Warren : That solution will not work.
He wanted to switch off a light when there is no motoin (so no device trigger).
A solution that I use is to use a timed event (my PIR check runs every minute). So a solution might be.
Code: Select all
return {
active = true,
on = {
timer = {'Every minute '}
},
execute = function(domoticz)
if ( ( domoticz.devices('PIR Hallway').lastUpdate.minutesAgo => 2 ) and (domoticz.devices('Hallway').state == 'On' and domoticz.time.isNightTime)) then
domoticz.devices('Hallway').switchOff()
end
end
No sure if the time-rule works with a timer. (might try this)
on = {
timer = {'[Every minute ', 'at nighttime' ]}

As always .. It depends
That's why I wrote "(assuming the motion detector switches to "Off" after two minutes.)"
My motion detectors also trigger an event after the set time folowing a motiondetection passed.

For me this works perfectly. Maybe u can use it. This way the lights stay on for 1 minute after motion sensor detected motion.
Code: Select all
return { on = { devices = {motion sensor} },
execute = function(domoticz, device)
local light = domoticz.devices(light u want to switch)
if ((not light.active and device.active) or (light.active and device.active)) then
light.switchOn()
elseif (not device.active) then light.switchOff().checkFirst().afterMin(1) end
end }
