Rule problem

n3ro

Hey folks,

I have a problem with one of my rules.

If
lamp is turned on for 5 minutes and pir is absent for 5 minutes
then
turn off lamp

The 5 min delay is to prevent to lamp to go off, if I turn the lamp on when no movement is detected. But… If I turn it on and go inside the room(movement detected) the lamp goes off after 5 min

Any ideas?

@n3ro i think this is because the second part is true because no movement was detected for 5 minutes. from that point you turn on the lamp the first part is true after 5 minutes, and then the lamp would be turned off.

try this:

if pir is present then set $pir to 1

if pir is absent for 5 minutes then set $pir to 0

if lamp is turned on for 5 minutes and $pir is 0
then turn off lamp

if lamp is off and $pir is 1 then turn on lamp

or maybe it works with just one rule:

if lamp is turned on for 5 minutes and pir is absent for 5 minutes and pir is not present
then turn lamp off

so this rule is not true anymore if movement is detected
