How to Use Motion Devices?
I am having some difficulty with the motion devices I have defined.
I am using the latest version of HS3, the BLRadar plugin and the Insteon plugin. I have a number of Insteon motion detectors and these are working well. I have defined them as sensors in the BLRadar PI and the PI recognizes them and registers activity.
I have also defined a number of virtual motion devices using the BLRadar PI. The plugin shows these devices and there status updates regularly with strings like No Movement Detected (1 days, 3 hrs, 17 mins, 2 secs). However, the device status never seems to indicate anything other than No Movement, even though the individual sensors defined in the motion device, register motion.
For the individual sensors I have checked Value Triggered Device Options and provided values of 0 and 100 which correspond to the Value Pair in my Insteon devices.
In the PI options page I have Not checked this option. (Although frankly I'm not sure I understand it's function) And I also don't understand how the value of "number of seconds between sensor activity to trigger movement" is used - does this mean the second sensor must sense movement BEFORE xx seconds elapses? Or does it mean that xx seconds must pass before the second sensor registers activity.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong and possibly it's quite simple. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Also, can I define open-close sensors like they were motion detectors? Reason is Id like to track motion from one door to another.
Thanks so much for any help.
