+--- Thread: Presence Detection Response Design (/thread-4423.html)
- MDKKEN - 03-28-2016
Hi,
Is there a general purpose template for a response design for presence detection that I can use as basis for shutting off lights or heating?

Make use of Zone On and Off Responses for the PIR
In Zone On Response,
Do Response to turn on the Light
Stop Timer NN
In Zone Off Response (ie no motion detected)
Wait for xxx seconds using Timer NN
Do Response to turn off light
When motion is detected, the lights are turned on, and the timer is stopped if it was started before
When the motion is no longer detected, the timer is started, and at the end, the lights are switched off
Alternately you could use the Zone On Response alone
Zone On Response
Do Response to turn on the Light
Wait for xxx seconds using Timer NN
Do Response to turn off light
The only problem is if there is a lot fo movement so that the PIR is always detecting, the timer would continue to run and the lights would turn off
