The dark/light has nothing to do with delay time setting.
This is what the manual says about delay time: "the length of time that the lamp will remain illuminated after the last motion has been detected". So i don't see how this could influence dark/light.

I also use 1 minute for all of my MS13.
That you are missing the dark/light signal has nothing to do with this time.
Maybe the MS13 is to far away from your receiver or the batterie is bad.
With the cold temperature of the last weeks maybe the MS13 is not working properly because of a poor batterie.
I replaced my batteries also a couple of days ago.

Sorry i ment, when i wake up "movement" and then i put on the light.( take's a minute to do that)
I think that the movement signal kills the dark/light signal
I know that the delay is for the movement and not for light/dark

Gr Ruud

P.s movement signal is always detected (rfxcom) and the battery are new

Dark/light is seperate from movement on a different x10 code. Which is set unitcode + 1. Are you sure you have it enabled?

Ruud,

You know the sensor has 4 operating modes:
- motion detector is on during the day, light/dark sensor off.
- motion detector is off during the day, light/dark sensor off.
- motion detector is on during the day, light/dark sensor on.
- motion detector is off during the day, light/dark sensor on.

Maybe the wrong mode is causing you the troubles?
