1) Give a description of the problem
We have a family room were we watch all of our TV. The lights in that room are set to go off with the lights in the rest of the house. I would like to have a piston that would monitor the TV, motion sensor and a set of lights to determine what actions to take.
The room is setup with the following:
- TV which ST know the status (on/off)
- Table lamps which come on at “lights on” and go off at “lights off” times each day.
- Motion sensor which turn on ceiling lights when the table lamps are off and motion is sensed but only between “lights off” and sunrise.
2) What is the expected behaviour?
I would like a piston to do the following:
• “Lights off” time if the TV is on then leave table lamps on.
• If the TV goes off, and table lights are on and no motion is sensed for a certain amount of time then turn off lamps and start activating ceiling light with motion sensor.
• If TV goes off and the table lights go off via the switch the wait a few seconds and start monitoring room with motion sensors activating the ceiling lights as usual.
3) What is happening/not happening?
Kind of a newbie and think there is a way without creating a lot of different pistons to pause and resume.
