Motion Inactive Between Time

#1

I’m trying to replace my routines in ST with a piston like routine in webCoRE. However, what I’m trying to do is detect no motion for 30 minutes between a certain time. Right now, my piston triggers 1 minute after the time. Is there a way to have a piston like routine that acts like the ST routines “Things Quiet Down”

Could it be possible that one of the sensors is already inactive for 30 minutes at 9:30?
Try changing it to all devices inactive and see if this helps.

Was looks at past time and is a condition. So when the piston evaluates it looks back at how the sensor was reporting.

Stays looks at future and is a trigger. So from the time it goes inactive it starts a timer.

So change was to stays and as @bobbles mentioned change any to all

Thanks. @bobbles I changed it to all. @c1arkbar I also changed it from was to stays. However, I’m always confusing triggers and conditions especially when time is part of the mix and I try not to mix the two as advised by @ady624.

For example: Time Is … (condition???)
Device Stays … (trigger???)

Will this work when put together?

If you do mix things up and you are unsure of what is a trigger and what is a condition and whether it will work, you can force them to subscribe.
Click on the trigger /condition then the settings cog at the bottom. Now change subscription method to always.

You can mix triggers and conditions. You absolutely can’t have multiple triggers with ANDs between them. Those won’t work.

Mixing triggers and conditions in laymen’s terms like this:

When that door opens
Do this
BUT only do it if the time is after sunset.
