Hopefully you can help me, I am not getting RM to work to my needs. This is my use case: Switch on when sensor detects motion and illuminance is below 5000. Switch off when sensor stays inactive for 1 minute [image] This is working as expected, no problems here. The problem is when the light …

It seems I found a solution, posting it here so maybe other can verify and use: [image] When switched on manually, the rule does not activate because the illuminance is above threshold, but the timer starts counting anyway, and it turns off the lights even whent the app is not active.

Yeah thats what I was going to suggest, I have a similar setup for my Bathroom motion setup. [image]

You shouldn't need to include the Laundry Lights as a switch to turn on within the activation section, the main table settings should take care of that.

I also expect you will need to look at the de-activation separately to your condition for activation, if that makes sense...

My original point was that you include that same switch in the main table where you define the list of devices and their states when activated. I can understand @jtp10181 's point that there can be times where adjustments to the same switch from outside the RL setup may be times where you want to s…

Hi @sburke781 , thanks a lot for the detailed explanation, really appreciate it.

I'm running into a similar problem, this is an interesting solution. So every time motion is detected, that 2 minute timer is reset and then when it hits 0 it turns the lights off? I may try that... problem I guess is if motion is detected continuously for the full 2 minutes, it'll turn off even wit…

The timer is set up to start from the last activation event, so evert time motion is detected the timer will reset. Hope it helps, I am on my mobile and can't post any screenshots.
