I had problems with getting lots of green images. Sleeping a while before capturing a day-image fixed it.

Thanks. I will do some testing

The problem mainly occurred when the Camera (v2) was set to maximum resolution. I forgot to think about fast objects, you're right 2 seconds might be to slow in that case. I think you're right a setting would be the easiest change to suite everyone appropriately.

Looking forward to your tuning instructions. You seem to have a lot of experience with this topic 👍

I have posted pi-timolo version 4.30 https://github.com/pageauc/pi-timolo/tree/master/source

This adds two new variables to pi-timolo.py and config.py

motionCamSleep=0.7 and timelapseCamSleep=4.0

This allows motion to have faster response and timelapse to have more consistent images by having a longer sleep to establish AWB

You will need to update or add the new config.py variables and download the new pi-timolo.py

wget -O pi-timolo.py https://raw.github.com/pageauc/pi-timolo/master/source/pi-timolo.py

You can also run the bash install method per the pi-timolo github Readme.here md https://github.com/pageauc/pi-timolo

Let me know if you encounter any issues Hopefully this will resolve day sleep problem.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated
