Right now in ST I have a simple Motion Sensor setup. When motion is active, Turn-On smart dimmer to 100% for 10 minutes then Turn-Off.
What I would like to be able to do, is any time during the 10 minutes is click the Dimmer Switch to the ON position and it would Stop/Pause the timer and leave the lights on. Once I turn the Dimmer Switch Off, then everything would reset again for the Motion Sensor.
Not sure how to set that up? Thanks for any info.
First you’ll need to test if your device can report the difference between physical/programmatic on/off events.
If not, you’ll need a second switch, without a load, to act as the lock / unlock motion controller.
Not really sure, what’s the best way to tell if my device can report events?
I’m using a GE Dimmer Paddle switch (z-wave) and the Monoprice “Z-Wave Plus PIR Multi Sensor, Temperature - Humidity - Light” sensor. It’s running the device handler: krlaframboise : Zooz/Monoprice 4-in-1 Multisensor…
Capabilities: Battery, Configuration, Health Check, Illuminance Measurement, Motion Sensor, Refresh, Relative Humidity Measurement, Sensor, Tamper Alert, Temperature Measurement.
Write a piston as follows:
If light is on (interaction physical)
Then
Send push notification - physical
If light is on (interaction Programmatic)
Then
Send push notification - programmatic
Now when you toggle the physical switch, you should get the physical notification and when you toggle the light via the ST app you should get the programmatic notification.
Thanks, I’ll give it a tray later on today and post my findings.
Thanks again for the help!
