Specify motion sensor to wake up the display

[edwardtfn]

Hi,

I now have a node red automation to wake up the display when motion is detected.
Would be nice if you can specify this in the blueprint.

just an idea.

regards,
R

Please tell me more about your current automation... It wakes up the panel and then you leave to the panel's routine to sleep again or do you have a command to sleep in your routine?

I think if we create this, the panel should be awake while the movement/presence persists, or at least have an option for this, but this makes it a bit more complex, as the sleep process will have to change. Which is not that hard, but then we will have two places to set sleep time and one will be ignored.
Any ideas?

Please tell me more about your current automation... It wakes up the panel and then you leave to the panel's routine to sleep again --> Yes it does that exactly.

So if I walk into a room the sensor detect motion and the display turns on, then after the normal timeout (60 sec) the display goes into sleep mode again. This is enough time to read the time /temperature etc from the display. I have this in most rooms. I also have node red automations for:

• If I switch on/off the lights with a wall switch/phone the display shows the specific light settings
• If i'm playing media and the media title changes (so you can see the artists/song name)

Nice.
I will look at that. Maybe start with something very simple, then we improve over time.

[rbr101]

Yes, just keep it simple to start with, it think it will be a good start.
