Hi,                                                                                                                                                                                               

 

I have a problem with timers on lighting.

 

I have exterior spot lights which come on when one of three things happens: 1)  the intruder alarm is activated, or 2) when I turn them on through the control menu, or 3) if there is movement picked up by the external PIRs.

 

When the lights come on activated by movement via the PIRs, they stay on for 120 seconds and then turn off.  However, the problem is, if I turn them on by the control menu and / or when the alarm is activated, if there is also movement past the external PIRs, the lights then turn off after 120 seconds - which is annoying as I need them to stay on until I decide to turn them off.

 

What can I do add so that the lights are only timed and turned off after 120 seconds when activated by movement, but when turned on through the control menu or by the intruder alarm, they stay on until I decide to turn them off?

 

The response currently is:

 

If NightTime <> 0 Then
    Do SideOsLitesOn
    Do OsSpot3and2On
    Do OsSpot3and2off After 120 Seconds Using OsSpots2and3
    Do SideOsLitesOff After 120 Seconds Using SideLightTimer
End If

 

And the response to turn them on via the control menu is:

 

    Do SideOsLitesOn
    Do OsSpot3and2On


 

What can I add to either / both of these responses to stop the timer turning the lights off after 120 seconds when I have turned the lights on through the control menu?

Kind regards,

Kevin
