JeepsandGoldens · 2020-12-02 18:40:04 UTC

1) Give a description of the problem
Stair 1 & 2 are not returning to their orginal state

2) What is the expected behaviour?
Stairs 1 & 2 to return to original state after 10 seconds of inactive from both motion sensors

3) What is happening/not happening?
The stair lights remain on

I have never been impressed with “capture/restore attributes”…
I tend to store that data into variables, and restore from there. IE:

define
    integer bulb8Level = (no value set)
    integer bulb9Level = (no value set)
    integer bulb8ColTemp = (no value set)
    integer bulb9ColTemp = (no value set)
    string bulb8Switch = (no value set)
    string bulb9Switch = (no value set)
end define

Also note that your first three IF blocks can be combined into one.
(using nested IFs)

I’m struggling learning how to work with variables to capture/restore attributes.

I don’t usually do custom work off the clock, but I took a gamble with your request.
(time invested = about an hour)

Here is your entire piston re-created from scratch, using all of your parameters.

You should be able to import it, and point to the two motion sensors and two bulbs.
(I added comments (in green) and a few logs to help you to see what is going on here)

Note:

I usually recommend new users AVOID using ELSE blocks, but in this strict format, it should work well.
(Although adding more logic or triggers can easily break them)

Edited piston to add another variable.
Now, commands will not be sent while the room remains occupied.
(only when first entering, and 10 min after vacating)

Edit 2:

Line 18 {bulbB} should point to your “White Bulb 9” so the condition check (on line 57) matches up.

You are amazing! Thank you sooo much. I’ve watched so many videos and tutorials on how to use variables and this helps the most.
