Hi ,

I have connected a wired PIR to my Z-Wave network using the Fibaro Universal Sensor. Made a scene to turn on a light when the PIR is tripped. So far so good: if the PIR is tripped the light turns on. But i would like the light to automatically turn off after 1 minute if the PIR is closed.
For this i made another scene with trigger PIR status changes to closed and condition if PIR level is <255 (255="" is="" open="" according="" to="" the="" logs)="" for="" 1="">

But for some reason this scene does not activate. If i manually activate it, it turns the light off, but not automatically.

Can you please help?

Regards,

Claudiu

It will only trigger when it changes to closed AND when it has been closed for 1 minute. The problem is that both can't be true at the same time.

I would change your trigger to a time trigger that repeats every minute, or how ever often you want it to check that it has been off for a minute. This will turn the light off every minute if you manually turn it on though and no motion happens.
