    Motion and delays

    I love the plugin but I'm confused how to make something work. I have zwave motion sensor and when it senses motion, then I want the light to stay on. Then when there is no motion turn off after 5 minutes.

    Currently I just set a delay in the event settings because I wasn't sure how to make this work otherwise. But it doesn't work good.

      That looks like it should work. I do not use any events for BLRadar. I use the UDMC scripting code because I have a lot more control over it
      Maybe an event SME can comment on this

          UDMC is user defined motion code
          You can enable it on the options page in the plugin

          Here is an example for ON code (going off of memory):

          Code:
          dim ntime as date = TimeValue(DateTime.Now)
          if (ntime >= TimeValue("10:30 pm") AndAlso ntime <= TimeValue("11:59 pm") then
              blradar.PluginFunction("ControlDevice", new Object(){"Office Light", "on", 100})
              blradar.PluginFunction("NewDelayedEventForNoEcho",New Object(){"Office Light Control","Office Light:off",5,""})
          end if
          When the sensor goes ON it will turn on the Office Light and then setup a delayed event in BLRadar to turn off the Office Light in 5 minutes

            Thanks. Maybe I'll try this. Not sure how to only make it work during certain times like between sunset and sunrise.

              I updated the code example to only do it between 10:30 PM and 11:59 PM as an example

                  I tried it but I'm not sure what values to change. I tried making the when the door sensor opens the outside garage light comes on.. Not even sure this will work for what I want..

                  dim ntime as date = TimeValue(DateTime.Now)
                  if (ntime >= TimeValue("12:25 pm") AndAlso ntime <= TimeValue("11:59 pm") then
                  blradar.PluginFunction("EnvisaLink Front Door and Utility Door", new Object(){"Garage Outside Light", "on", 100})
                  blradar.PluginFunction("NewDelayedEventForNoEcho",New Object(){"Garage Light Control","Garage Outside Lightff",5,""})
                  end if

                        I just want the light to come on when the door sensor is tripped Echo and then turn off non echo 1 minutes later. Or a motion sensor when tripped to turn on some hue lights and then turn those lights off after 5 minutes.

                          Does your current time fall into the range in the code?

                              Is UDMC enabled on the options web page in the plugin?
