Hi guys, really hoping someone could show me the way to go on this one.
Im using a fibaro switch 2 with a motion sensor for my bathroom light. But my girlfriend has had enough of the light turning on in the middle of the night when she gets up and walks past the bathroom.
How can i override the motion sensor with a rule so that between midnight and 6am the switch will not activate at all?
The motion sensor, activates the fibaro switch 2 so it turns on rhe light, and within the fibaro settings, ive set it to stay on for 30 seconds, and each motion resets the countdown.
me personally, I use Modes. I have a virtual switch so when I go to bed I tell the house 'Good night'. this set me to 'Not Awake'. Not awake is the trigger for 'sleeping'. in this way I'm not using any time frame for sleeping - if I sleep in, or go to bed late, makes not matter.
I then use 'I'm up' as the voice command to start the day. That triggers 'I'm awake' to go True, and fires mode manager to determine what mode I'm in.
Next, set your motion sensor routine to have modes. Turn on (or off) whatever modes you don't want functionality.
Another factor - my GF also hates lights at night - so I put dimmable CT bulbs and have them go down to 10%. Its perfect for us.
