In order to achieve desired effect, depending on scenario which you are trying to capture with rule creator, you can vary from simple rule to more complicated one.

For example; if you want to turn the light on when motion detector detects motion in hallway try following:


when motion sensor MOTION

light set value 40

if motion sensor NO MOTION

light set value 0


other example for more complex rule, please see attached picture.This rule combines motion detector and door sensor.

Only one door/window sensor is not enough. You will need one motion detector in the hallway. This way, you can make a rule which will consider whether the motion is detected prior to door opening or not.

I thought so too... Any sensor you recommend using zipabox?

Aeon lab 4-1? I read some bad reviews... Your view?


I also read this, but can't get it to work...

And how to difiriciate between leaving home and open for guest?

Check for motion after door is closed?

So for guests and arrival, if motion is detected, door change state turn on the light.

For both, wait join... If motion not detected turn it off.
