Feature Request - option to disable motion trigger during timeout

[T-h-o-m-a-s]

I have a camera as motion sensor that turns on a lamp when motion is detected. The problem is that the light from the lamp can be seen by the camera, so I get stuck in an endless loop where the light turning off triggers the motion again.

Therefore it would be great with an option that could define a number of seconds where motion is ignored around the turning-off.

Interesting idea. Im not sure how to implement it. Let me think about it for a bit.

Is this still required? You could implement this yourself quite easily using a global variable and a timer.

It´s a nice to have feature - a setting "ignore movement at expired timeout" would be easy.
But yes, it can be achieved with a global variable and timer instead.

Can you give that implementation a go?

@danobot can you explain your idea about a global variable and a timer? I have the same problem, where the light turning off causes the camera to think there is motion.

anyone figured this out?
