Stephan,


Can you please explain what you want to achieve so I can tell you how to change the rule? It looks like it would work but I use a different approach, of course it depends on your purpose.

Hi Alberto,

I now figured out that the Movement Detector is offline (red light on the left window side). What Do I have to do to do to bring it back online?


Best regards,

Stephan

Well, this might be due a few things. If you see that the device has good battery (usually Fibaro Eye blinks when motion detected, unless you shut the LED off).


Other reason might me that is out of range, try to bring the device close to the controller, open it and click 3 times fast the b-button. The LED will glow for a few seconds, after this the device will send the "wake up" command to the controller and read its configuration from it. If the final place for your device is too far or there are several walls between them you will have to add a repeater or another routing node in the middle so you can have a reliable connection.

Perfect - Thanks a lot! - I managed to get it to work

Now I do have a further question: How can I manage to have certain times when the light goes on

I tried it with this rule, but got the message: date expected?!?

Can anyone help or ost a rule that only works between defined times during a day


Thanks

Stephan,


No problem. With the rule you have you will turn OFF the light regardless if there is still motion in the room after 30 seconds, not sure if that is your real intent or not. See attached rule, this rule will keep the light ON 'until it stops detecting movement plus a 30 second delay. Also It will work only during certain times of the day. Any other question please let me know.
