I’m running OH 2.4 and added my first motion sensor. This sensor is located in a bath room and should turn on the lights as soon as motion ist detected, turning it off 1 Minute aber no motion is detected.
To test it, I did not yet connect the lights, but let the rule send an email when the sensor changes to ON and another mail when it changes to OFF.
As a result i receive an email “light on” as one enters the room and in the follwing two mails per minute (light off" - “light on” as long as the room is occupied which would result in some kind of a flickering light every minute.
The rules are pretty simple so far as they represent a first test:
// Bewegungsmelder WC Test
rule “Licht an im Gäste-WC”
when
Item WC_Bewegung_sw changed to ON
then
sendMail (“xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx”, “Gäste-WC Licht an”, " ")
end
rule “Licht aaus im Gäste-WC”
when
Item WC_Bewegung_sw changed to OFF
then
sendMail (“xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx”, “Gäste-WC Licht aus”, " ")
end
The problem seems to that after triggering the sensor gets inactive for a minute, switches to off after that period of time, gets active again and triggers due to motion in the room.
When the sensor detects motion it should turn on the light and switch it off when the person leaves the room, i.e. if there is no motion anymore. Ideally it should wait for 1 minute or 2 before switching it off.
