Resettable timer - Githubissues

mikehhhhhhh commented 3 years ago

This PR adds a resettable config flag, that will reset the timer each time the switch is set to on.

Use case: I want a light to turn off 60 seconds after the last detected motion. (Like #29, also solves #26)

Create a resettable switch Light Timer Dummy with a timer of 60 sconds
Create an automation for Motion Sensor activation switching Light Timer Dummy to On
Create an automation for Light Timer Dummy switching Off to set Light to Off

Each time motion is detected, the timer will be reset.

Hi @nfarina could you let me know whether you intend to accept the PR? I'd like to publish my own to use it if not.

Hey Mike, sorry for the delay! I haven't used this plugin in a while so I'm not as on top of things. This looks great though - will merge and publish shortly. Thanks!

Hi @mikehhhhhhh

I am trying to achieve the same thing as you but I cannot figure it out. Do you have a working solution?

Thanks in advance
