HSM100 & UI7 - On Time

Hello - My VeraLite has UI7 running on it. I recently added another HSM100 sensor to my network and would like to modify the “OnTime” configuration setting but I am not sure how to do this in UI7.

Here is a page that describes the change I’m looking to make, but on a prior UI: http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/ExpressControls3in1#On_Time

I have one other HSM100 which I configured this value for in UI5 previously. It is working as expected.

Thanks!

Edit: Made a bit of progress I think… I was googling and found this link where someone needed to configure some device variables. So anyway, that pointed me to the VariablesSet field and from there, I think I’ve got it figured out…

On the “original/good” HSM100, I set the On Time to 3 via my prior UI5 Vera2. So I went and took a look at the any property with “variable” in the name. I found “VariablesSet” “VariablesGet” and “ConfiguredVariable”.

This is what their values were:

[code]device #3

VARIABLES → Variables Set
1-Sensitivity (0-255),1d,2-On time (0=always fire or 1-255),1d,3,3-LED on/off (0 or 255),1d,4-Light Threshold (0-100),1d,5-Stay Awake (0-255),1d,6-On value (0 or 1-100 or 255),1d,

VariablesGet
1,200,2,3,3,255,4,100,5,0,6,255,
[/code]

the same on the new HSM100 I wish to configure:

[code]device #34
Variables → Variables Set
1-Sensitivity (0-255),1d,2-On time (0=always fire or 1-255),1d,3-LED on/off (0 or 255),1d,4-Light Threshold (0-100),1d,5-Stay Awake (0-255),1d,6-On value (0 or 1-100 or 255),1d,

VariablesGet
1,200,2,20,3,255,4,100,5,0,6,255,[/code]

So I think the second HSM100 is set to 20 minutes, which makes sense as I think it’s the default. I’m going to try to construct a string to paste into the VariablesSet box based on what I see in the link provided above and see if it successfully writes it to my sensor. I want to give it a chance to work so I’ll wait till morning to post results.

Update:

I pasted the following into the VariablesSet field: 1,1d,200,2,1d,3,3,1d,255,4,1d,100,5,1d,0,6,1d,255
I hit Configure node right now, then walked over to the HSM100 and hit the blue button on the side.

When I got back to my computer and loaded up the new device in Vera again, “VariablesGet” now shows what I hoped it would :

1,200,2,3,3,255,4,100,5,0,6,255,

So I think the on-time is now set as I desired (3 min) on this second HSM100 under UI7 but the real test will come this evening when I have some time to play with it.

Update 2: Confirmed. Motion is detected, sensor switches to Alarm state and switches off 3 minutes later. Perfect! Hope this helps someone.

I just made an account to thank you, it helped me get my old sensors working again, 6 years later. Goes to show you why posting information like this is invaluable.
