I try to build an event with my doorbell, it needs to be "off" but it stays always "on".
Did I something wrong...

I think you need to give more info, what event, which type of doorbell etc.

You could edit your doorbell switch and add an off delay of 5 seconds or so.

If you dont have off button in your doorbell you have to edit it and set off delay manually. Or how do you think it knows to go back to off state. Same thing with PiR..

Hi,
I don't think you need to turn it off.
I pause my Sonos like this:-
My doorbell switch is always on but blockly waits for a "new" on before it triggers again. I just press the Sonos switch back on again to resume play.

The doorbell in Domoticz does not have an off delay.
I have solved this by making a virtual switch and a LUA script that turns that switch on when the doorbell is rang. In that virtual switch I have set an off delay of 10 seconds.
If you use that switch in your commands (eg pause TV) then it will work.
LUA code
Code: Select all
if (devicechanged['doorbell']) then
if otherdevices['virtual_doorbell_switch']=='Off' then
commandArray['virtual_doorbell_switch']='On'
end
end

Nice solution but a short period before it gone off after a short time at itself. I used it to put my tv on pause and to automatically switch the light at the door
Maybe there has been changed something.

Oh, didnt know that
You could do the same thing then with "push on" button and off delay.. or pir.. or.. of course it would lead to wrong icon.

Here is my setup for a driveway buried magnetic sensor that alerts me with a tone when someone drives up my driveway....

I have a few motion sensors, but this one has no persistence like somePIR do, so it is identical to your doorbell. My event fires a 433Mhz buzzer in my home, then turns it off after 5 seconds. It works really well.
It seems you are trying to do same thing as I was.
