[misterhouse-users] Timers with Lights & Motion Sensors

[<dea...@mc...>]

I have been playing with Timers with no success and was 
wandering if somebody could comment on my code.  I 
believe I understand them correctly, but another pair of 
eyes could save my sanity.  Anyway, in the following 
code, the garage lights turn on, the counter counts down 
to zero, but the lights are never shutoff.  Any comments 
appreciated!  For the record, I have moved the house 
code of the motion detector to a different house code of 
the light.  (I want to have better control of when the 
light turns on/off).

# Garage Lights on 
if ((state_now $Garage_Motion eq 'ON') && !
($timer_garage->active())){
	print "Turning Garage lights on and setting 
timer\n";
	set $timer_garage 300;
	set $Garage_Lights 'ON';
}

if ($timer_garage->active()){
	my $secs = $timer_garage->seconds_remaining();
	print "Time remaining on timer is $secs...\r";
}

if ((state_now $Garage_Lights eq 'ON') && !
($timer_garage->active())){
	set $Garage_Lights 'OFF';
	print "\nGarage lights are off\n";
}
