I’m going to add a second motion sensor to my setup. For my Pistons that currently trigger when “MS1 STAYS inactive for 5 minutes”, how will I add the second sensor?
My instinct tells me that if I say “MS1 AND MS2 STAYS inactive for 5 minutes” then it’ll only trigger if BOTH become inactive at exactly the same time. Is that true?
What’s the best practice here?
When you select both motion sensors you will then see an option to select ‘Any Motion Sensor’ or ‘All Motion Sensors’.
Pick which one you wish.
If I understand your question correctly then this should work:

Mr T.
I don’t have “lastmotion” as an option. I only have battery, motion, temperature, $status, checkInterval, DeviceWatch-DeviceStatus, and healthStatus as options.
Right, but I want it to trigger when both have been inactive for at least 5 minutes. My understanding of triggers is that if you have two items set up (e.g. M1 and M2 stay inactive for 5 minutes) that it’ll only trigger if they both become inactive at exactly the same time (and stay inactive for 5 minutes at the same time). I don’t want it to trigger if only one of them has been inactive for 5 minutes but the other shows motion. Am I misunderstanding triggers?
Pick Motion.
You can then select conditions or triggers depending on how you write it.
You could use as shown above or-
IF
All of MS1 and MS2 are inactive.
THEN
WITH
Light
DO
Wait 5 minutes.
Turn Off.
So will “M1 and M2 stay inactive for 5 minutes” actually trigger? If so, I’ll keep it like that.
