Prescriptive guidance on how to cancel wait in pistons

[Prayerfuldrop]

1) Give a description of the problem
I leverage waits to shutoff lights

2) What is the expected behavior?
Need a way to cancel pistons if an action occurs from another Piston (example MovieTime!)

3) What is happening/not happening?
I don’t know how to cancel if a virtual switch called MovieTime! is activated. Need timers to cancel.

4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston

Timer Cancellation?

I want all my living room lights to come on on motion and start a timer after 10 min I want some lights to go off? and after a further 5 min the rest off the lights to go off unless the motion activates again then start the timer afresh. But if an over ride switch is pressed the timer is cancelled and the light stay on until the switch is turned off? My problem is I have set up the timers to never cancel so they stay on after motion stops but I cant figure out how to cancel the timers on switch…

Just add a seperate IF block to the bottom of your piston.

IF virtual switch IS on
THEN
With location
Cancel all pending tasks
