[Solved]Problem with Motionsensor and Rule

---

Hi,

i have a very strange problem in my pimatic.
I have a Motionsensor and a Rule- if the Sensor triggers a lamp on a remote socket turn on.
In my Pimatic Webinterface the Remote Socket is on but only in my webinterface.
If i turn the Switch in the Webinterface manuel on and off the Remote socket goes on and off.

@MarvinH could it be that you do not recieve the motionsensors signal?

@MarvinH maybe rf traffic jam?

@hansjeu thats not the Problem i think, because the Motionsensor turn the switch in my Pimatic Webinterface on but the Remote Socket doesn´t go on.
If i turn the same switch in the webinterface manuel on and off, the Remote Socket turn on and off reliable.

@MarvinH
could you please be more specific.
post your rule and the devices to get an overview.

How does the motion sensor sends the info to Pimatic? If you send the motion-signal on RF, chances are that the sending (for the lamp) is colliding with the RF signal from the motion sensor ?

@koffienl said:

colliding with the RF signal

that’s a very good point! thanks for mentioning!

@MarvinH
you could alter your rule in the THEN part like IF pir signals presence THEN switch on Lamp after 3 seconds
this should prevent RF signal collision.

Here is my Motionsensor:

  {
  "id": "Bewegung1",
  "name": "Bewegung1",
  "class": "HomeduinoRFContactSensor",
  "protocols": [
    {
      "name": "switch5",
      "options": {
        "unit": 0,
        "id": 191384
      }
    }
  ],
  "autoReset": true,
  "resetTime": 3000
},

Here is my remote Socket:

 {
  "id": "Taste3",
  "name": "Taste3",
  "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
  "protocols": [
    {
      "name": "switch4",
      "options": {
        "unit": 31,
        "id": 4
      }
    }
  ]
},

My Rule is: when Bewegung1 is closed then turn Taste3 on.

In my Webinterface the Motionsensor is always open but when there is a motion he is closed. I can see it in the Webinterface.

So, both are RF sensors, switch5 is eurodomest. I think these devices do a large repeating broadcast just like KaKu.
Pimaitc receives the first broadcast and starts swithcing a other RF device by sending out RF signals. Your lamp is still receiving the broadcast from the motionsensor and ignores the RF signals coming from pimatic. As leader21 says : put in a delay after detecting and swithcing on.

thank you so much. I test it this evening.

@MarvinH
good luck and please report back

it Works!!! Thank you so much. I have now a delay in my rule.

You’re welcome.
