Newbee has 2 problems presence detection
Hi there,
i'm new here and use zipato since last week. First of all i try to play around whith a z-wave dimmer and the Aon Multisensor 6.
What would i do?
I want to use a presence detection in my living room to automatic switch on and of my TV light.
If there is no motion for about 5 minutes, the light automaticly should to switch off.
Look at my picture to see my rules, which i've been creating for this.
Should this work for my case or do you have an idea which would be a better soloution? Especially the timer settings off 300 seconds - i don't know if they are right placed there?
This morning there was a failure and i don't know why my light does not switch off automaticly.
The last motion was detectet 7:00am, the luminance was < 140 and light switches on.
After this there was no other motion but light stays still on at 10:00am
But i have no idea why?
The same question 
You should use the motion (no-motion) as starting point. Then check the lum.
When Motion=Any
JOIN
If Motion=true and lum < 140
dim 70
els
wait
dim 0
something like this.

Yes, i do this, as you can see :) But without a join. So i'm not sure, wich effect the join feature hast, in this case?

After the motion is detected both rules will started. But after you change the var after 5mins, the second rule never runs because the motion state is not changed(trigger to start the rule) or it is changed already within the 5 minuten to 'no motion state'. Try to make one rule like HeroS said.
The join is to not let the rule run again when the state changes again. In your case sturing the wait. So it will finish the rule even if the state changes and will not start again a second instance of the same rule.

Okay....i was assuming, that the rule is allways triggered, if the multisensor sends some information (Luminance, Temp, Hum...)?
So my rule starts with
"WHEN MOTIONSENSOR=ANY"
Isn't it so?
If i do it like your advice, i think the lamp allways will set off after 300 seconds, also in case that there is still a motion in the room?
