Aeontech multi sensor 6 - Time rule does not work when luminence is 0

Lukas Berger shared this problem 7 years ago

I have a Aeontech multi sensor 6 and I've scheduled a light and time based rule.

I want the light to switch on at 06:00 if lux is <= 200 and be kept on until this threshold is reached.

When the time is 22:30, I want the lights to be switched off even if the lux is 0.

The rule is working if the lux is not 0.

When I simulated darkness go on and off as they should, even if the lux was 0. If the lux is at 0 when the rule shall kick in or knock off, nothing happens. If the lux is something in between 0 and 200, do the lights switch off when the time rule knocks them off.


Example: A couple a days ago was the lux above 0 but less than 200 at 06:00 and the lights went on. Yesterday did the light switch on at 06:10 and this morning at 06:20.

At 22:30 the continue to stay on because then the lux is 0.


I also tried to set the lux value offset to 20, with no luck. Probably because 20 actually then is 0.

I've also tested the in between values block as well as the less than block.


The sensor is USB powered and the luminance is updated every 60 seconds.

Try Setting the When trigger of the rule for the Muti-sensor to "Any", instead of Luminance

Hi Dan!

When I putted "Any" instead of "Luminance" in the When block do not the rule work at all. At least didn't the lights switch off this morning. I've tested both the "between" and "<=" block. I don't think the lights will be switched on by the rule either if I use "Any". As for no do I need an additional rule to switch on the lights at 06:00 as the lux is coming over 0 much later than the time I want the lights to be switched on.


As I mention in my problem description do the rule work, but not when the lux is =0. The lowest lux I have managed simulate is 4 and then did the lights switch off.

I've not tested any other multi sensor, so I don't know if this is a specific Aeon problem or if it is something in the rule creator. When I search the forum do I find similar rules and they all seems to work when the lux is 0. In those cases has a Fibaro or Zipato sensor been being used.

Anyone with a Aeon sensor who can share a rule that work?
