Hi
I have problem with this rule.
I need to have rule: if a motion see me for 6 minutes - turn lights
Now my rule is: if a motion see me for the second - turn lights after 6 minutes
Somebody help me
looks like your rule will wait for 6 minutes after detecting the change and then turn the lights on. I think you mean something more like:
rule "P2 Biuro - RAMKA ON"
when
Item P2_Biuro_CzujnikRuchu_Movement changed
then
if(P2_Biuro_CzujnikRuchu_Movement.state==OPEN) {
sendCommand(P2_Biuro_Powerbar_6,ON)
sendMail("matcin@my.com", "P2 Ramka on", "TEST")
timer_P2_Biuro_Powerbar_6 = createTimer(now.plusSeconds(360)) [|
sendCommand(P2_Biuro_Powerbar_6,OFF)
]
}
Simply put; you want to handle the initial action and launch the countdown timer as soon as the change occurs. The timer will remain active in the background
Not exactly what I need.
I need turn on device when motion see me for longer time (for example 6 minutes), not for only few seconds
I need it for my digital photo frame which I have in office. I wanted to use it (turn on) only when I stay longer in my office.
If I stay in office more than 6 minutes turn on frame and if office is empty more than 15 minutes turn of frame. I think that I need 2 similar rules. One for send command on and second for command off
Note that this is will simply check at the ‘beginning’ and the ‘end’ of the period of 6 minutes - it won’t account for the fact that you left for 4 minutes in the middle, or other such factors. Hope this helps.
It is working well,
pelnet thank you for help.
I want to add one timer more to this rule but unfortunate it is not working well
Motion should check 3 times.
If it sees me -> start timer
If it sees me again after 300 seconds -> send mail and start timer
And last if it sees me after 600 second -> send mail
Now, I’m not entirely sure that I understand where you’re going with this, but I would suggest to use separate timer objects for the different actions. Although it may not prove to be necessary in the long run, it might help with debugging.
P.S.: Your first rule starts with ‘php’ ? Your second rule is commented out… but I presume that’s just for pasting it on the forum…
