Disable motion sensor

I created a home alarm system with Domoticz and I have a couple of Fibaro Motion Sensors, they all work great!

Setup is very easy, a dummy switch called 'alarm' and an event that basicly says:

If alarm switch is on, and the sensors are on (motion detected), send pushover message and set sirene to on.

I'm thinking to add another motion sensor in my home office, where I work a lot.

I don't want this motion sensor to run out of battery fast, and I'm afraid it will because every 30sec it will see motion and send it to my controller, because I'm working in the office. Is there a way, maybe with an event, to disable the device, when the dummy 'alarm' switch is in off state? I've searched in blockly but don't think there is an option to disable a device.

not sure about Fibaro motion sensor, but Xiaomi motion sensor located in public corridor which triggered every 5 min, works 3rd year for me...

My fibaro sensor is still running on its first battery from 3 years ago.
