Re: [misterhouse-users] Ignoring motion detectors at certain times..........

[Bill B. <apa...@ya...>]

I currently do the following:

Set the Hawkeye to the longest possible "motion off" delay time. (this
approximates disabling it)
Set the Hawkeye house/unit code to the same as the light I want to control.
Create a timer in MH for this light
Set the timer to my desired "motion off" delay time whenever mh receives a
"motion on" signal
Have mh turn the light off when the timer expires.

If you want the light to stay on during certain hours, just code to NOT turn
the light off if
the timer expires during those hours.

This may not be 100 percent reliable, but around my house no Hawkeyes ever
go the full
delay time without detecting motion, so the "motion off" never gets
transmitted.

I use this sort of logic in my kitchen, the stove light is operated by
motion, UNLESS the
ceiling light is on, in which case I force the stove light on until the
ceiling light is turned off.

Hope this helps,
