Are there any examples of the best way to do this? Having some issues as it seems to work differently than the ISY. For example I tried setting the Motion Sensor itself to have a 5 minute time out, then I made 2 events, one is If a device changes and becomes, and I selected the motion sensor and hit MOTION, then turn on the light. I then made one that says if it changes to no motion turn it off.
This works, except if you go in and turn the light off from the SwitchLinc say after 1 minute, then if you walk back in the motion never comes back on. Not sure why it never triggers again when motion is detected, it seems like HS3 shows the Motion Sensor as still being in status MOTION and doesn't consider it changing since it doesn't seem like it sends the motion command every time you walk in for some reason.
On the ISY I would have done this as:
If the motion sensor changes to MOTION, Turn on the bathroom light, wait 5 minutes, turn off the light.
Because with that program, every time you walk in, the motion sensor sends a MOTION event with of course just resets the program and it starts over, restarting the 5 minute timer. That doesn't work with HS3, it never receives the motion event beyond the first one, and even if it did it doesn't restart the 5 minute wait, so I did it using the 5 minute wait on the sensor itself, but having issues.
Are there any examples or tips?
