Lighting Adjacent Zones

If you had 360 sensors, lighting their own zone and adjacent zones, timing out after 30min.

If a person 'x' triggered their current zone1, moved into another zone2 and back to zone1.

Would the the sensor in the adjacent zone2 time out and switch off the light in zone1. Even though the sensor in zone1 was being retriggered with movement.

If so what is the best way of setting up adjacent lighting with sensors etc.

 

re-triggering

G'day Rt
Providing they controll the same group address, The Sensor in Zone 2 should not turn it off, as the sensor in Zone 1 is re-triggering the 30 min timer every time movement is detected.
I'm not an expert though...

I'm no expert either, but the multi sensors have corridor linking and join mode functionality as well. Not really easy to explain but if you search the forum or the help file, this may help out.

Hi RT

I assume that you're talking about 2 motion sensors in 2 different zones controlling the same C-Bus group address here? If that's the case, then the zone 2 sensor timer won't expire if the sensor in zone 1 subsequently detects movement again.

The sensors are designed so that you can have multiple sensors controlling the same group address without seeing weird/undesirable behaviour. No special programming is required for that.

Thanks Newman,
That is what I was after, just trying to predict potential issues before they arise etc
