bathroom light / fan control ms13-fibaro

[mrqnapper]

I have an event in HSpro which I use to keep the bathroom light on during the time someone is in the bathroom. So the light is switched on in the hall, when entering the bathroom (build in Fibaro switch), when entering the bathroom the MS13 sensor sense motion and send an ON signal. During the stay in the bathroom this will continue giving input for homeseer and my occupation event:

Code: Select all

Trigger:
MS13 sensor changed to on
Action:
Remove delayed device action for (fibaro switch) f8
Device Command: Switch f8 off after a delay of 15 minutes

Using this for some time, it now seems that it's not working as intended. As shown below in the log file, after 15 minutes the light will be off, regardless if you are still standing under the shower or not!!
Also the movement is triggered by the MS13 without any problem. Now it seems that the "Remove delayed device action" is not triggered in time, before the Device command is executed!

Code: Select all

So what's wrong here? I'have got some complaints from the family

Try to give a off to the MS13 device after you have removed the delayed event.
HS don't get an OFF state so probaly the event won't trigger again.

Use hs.setdevice(<ms13>, 3) in the event as script. (3 = off if i am right)
ps, command could be wrong because i have no example here. Will update this later tonight.

Bram, Thanks for the quick reply. I will try your solution. Since the ms13 is F3 in my set-up I suppose it will be hs.setdevice(<f3>, 3) then isn't it?

Try adding an extra line to your event that start a script.
Fill in hs.SetDeviceStatus ("F3", 3)

With your help it seems to work now. Thanks a lot.

If a MS13 is involved then this is how usualy configure it.
Please note that i use the day/night sensor of a different MS13. That sensor is the MS13 that is closest to my RFXCom antenna. If it's dark at that location then it's dark enough in every other room too.

This is how I have it for now. Why is the 20 seconds waiting time?

Your image isn't shown

The 20 sec. delay is just a value i picked.
If the MS13 goes ON then by default it will send and OFF 1 minute after the last ON
The event is set that it can not retrigger within 30 seconds
The event need a reset of the timer within 15 minutes to keep the light ON.
I want to prevent that the server is getting very busy with just this event.
Based on this i thought 20 seconds is a good value
