Outside PIR Nearly there But

[Great-Dane]

1) Give a description of the problem
I am trying to get an outside PIR which is acting as a switch via a Fibraro Relay to turn on my lights when activated.

2) What is the expected behavior?
I need these to turn on after each other within random set times say light 1 then wait 15 seconds light 2 and so on, then switch off in a similar fashion. I have a simple piston set up so when an intruder goes on my driveway it sets of the sequences via my switch PIR. I have had this working flawlessy on the old Core…

3) What is happening/not happening?
All works really well if you activate it once and watch the sequence progress, however as soon as the PIR switches back on (picks you up again) it interferes with the sequence and everything just drops out. I need something in the piston to stop that happening and let the psiton run through it phase once it has been activated and maybe once it’s completed wait for a time then re-arm or something??

It’s to show burglar bill that someone may be coming downstairs and outside when he’s on my driveway.

4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston

5) Attach any logs (From ST IDE and by turning logging level to Full)

NOW I MANUALLY closed the PIR just to show you that it cuts off the piston state, someone will laugh at me for this, I am sorry but I am crap at these things!

Click on your IF statement, the click on the gear cog at the bottom of the window. Change the Task Cancellation Policy to “never cancel tasks” and it should work. If it doesn’t, repeat the same steps for each WITH statement and that will definitely do it.

Thats really helpful, I’ll do that and let you know how I get on thanks
