I have an automatic litterbox (LitterRobot), but the cat is so light she doesn't trigger the sensor most of the time (Sometimes she does).
So I've set up a Motion sensor in the enclosure, and a window sensor on the Litterrobot's globe. If the globe does not move and trigger the window sensor within the last 10 minutes (The LR is supposed to rotate the globe 7min after weight sensor.) Motion > 10mins later there was no window open > cycle power (Appliance Module).
I guess a timer needs activated by the motion, and the timer is killed by the window sensor. If the timer is not killed, at the 10 min mark power is cycled. I'm not very familiar with timers, would this be a permanent timer I have to setup, or is there a dynamic way to do this as the timer is built and timing only after motion detected.
