Sure, will do

Ok received my EH403 apart from being ugly its ok, when I include to my Vera plus it only creates 2 modules though, 1 for lux and 1 for on\off…I was expecting arm\disarm as well

am I expecting too much?
Thanks

No motion sensor device in Vera then?

Its a D_GenericIO1.xml icon looks sensorish, but the Z doesnt go red when motion switches the light on

And the on / off buttons actually turn the light on / off?

If not you could try changing the devices files in its Advanced section to be a motion sensor maybe.

Or if the Generic IO device is actually working to manually turn the light on and off and also goes to on when the PIR light detects motion?

You could create a virtual motion sesnor device and have it trip when the light automatically turns on etc and untrip when the light goes off. You could use Reactor or PLEG to trip / untrip the virtual motion sensor.

Or maybe use Vera scenes to set the tripped variable of the virtual motion sensor etc.

Not sure if this will help anyone

When I change to a motionsensor it say arm\disarm but does nothing when I arm it

Yeah nice idea re the relay and wattage

But yeah if you switch on from Vera the light comes on and again off so manual, but when the sensor detects movement it comes on and switches off after a set time period

In that case I would change it back to the Generic IO on / off switch device if you haven’t already and create a virtual motion sensor that is tripped when the Generic IO device is turned on and not tripped when it’s turned off.

Also note just arming a motion sensor device won’t do anything on its own. Its for having logic in scenes / Reactor or PLEG based around if the sensor is armed or not? You can do one thing when it’s armed and do something different when it’s not armed for example.

How about the LUX sensor device is that working and showing different LUX values?

yeah lux seems to be working ok, just plugged in next to my Vera at the moment, not decided whether to send back the standard XLED (without zwave) and buy another one of these

To be honest I was expected an on / off device and a motion sensor device with the Everspring PIR light.

I wasn’t expecting the LUX sensor device.

I’ve not read the user manual yet however.

If indeed it shouldn’t and doesn’t create a motion sensor device, then as I said you’ll have to create a virtual motion sensor device and have some scene logic for it based on the status of the Generic IO on / off device.

yeah shouldn’t be a big problem, notifications work with it as well
thanks

Can you please post a variable screenshot? Maybe tripped variable is there and a Virtual device and a couple of line of codes could fix it.

Hope this helps
Thanks

Yes, I confirm you can create a virtual sensor and just copy the value with a watch on the variable. Search the forum on how to create a virtual sensor and how to copy a variable via lua.

Thanks, I’ll try and sort just download rigpapa virtual sensor plugin so when I get time I’ll try to configure without asking too many questions :wink:

PS just bought a Shelly and downloaded your http plugin

Thanks to you, rigpapa & cw-kid for excellent help and plugins!

Glad you liked it.

No need to use site sensor, virtual sensors can be easily created:

Old post by @cw-kid on how to create it. Watch examples are everywhere, but feel free to ask if you need help with code.

Ok so I created a virtual sensor (thanks rigpapa) that works and detects motion…nice but I cant get it to untrip, I followed the instructions above and they have been added to the virtual sensors variables but it wont untrip, I set the untrip value to 5 secs, I must be missing something

Mmm seems to be untripping now :grinning:

Sometimes Zwave and my Vera plus gets right on my nerves! message this morning couldnt detect device (light) so I messed around deleted the virtual sensor and reconfigure light, added sensor but I cant get the virtual sensor to trip
When I created the virtual sensor i picked the correct device the light and tripped from the list in rigpapa virtual sensor addon
The i added the untrip to the virtual sensor as a new service, but I cant get the virtual sensor to turn red when tripped…arggghhhhh
have I missed something,should I be picking tripped from the drop down in virtual sensor creation?
thanks
