Note-Red dont work like i want it to

Hi

so after my last post

I have tried many different approaches but i keedp getting stuck.

I am struggling with the Sonoff motion sensor and a light automation.

I have made this and it works. yes i know it might not be 100% but it works

i am guessing it works because there is a timeout build in to the sensor of 90 sec. and this timeout is enough to not "disco light"

i have also done this one (based on the same idea)

so my thoughts here was that the sensor should activate a sonoff basic between a set time.

this works when seperate/alone

then i wanted to also add a scheduler to the same switch to turn on at a set time (outside the motion time)
this also works when seperate/alone.

What is not working is when i combine them.
when the motion sensor acctivates the switch, the timer turns it off again almost imediatly.
i have tried to prevent this by adding a delay, but it just makes it worse :frowning: because now the delay gives me a new problem. the motionsensor have to timeout before it will turn on again. everything gets unresponsive for the time that is left on the timeout.

I tried in the Kitchen flow to add a delay but the delays really screws it up for me.
when i only have a motionsensor and a call service the lightsstays on for 90 sec and then turns off and back on again with the slightest movement.
when adding a delay of 5 minutes the lights turn off and do not acctivate again until the motionsensor times out
my thought was that as long as there is movement the sensor "should" reset the delay, but NO :frowning:

anyone have used the Sonoff Motion sensors and knows how to work with them ?

why cant i get the flow with schedule and motion to work ?
what am i missing ?

Anyone ?
