I guess I could set a timer for 10 seconds to turn off the light following the ‘motion detected’ event - but of course this will mean somebody taking more than 10 seconds to get into bed will find the light cut out before they get there. And it means if somebody sets it off, gets into bed, then somebody gets out of bed within the 3 minutes the lights wont come back on for them.

Unfortunately that comes with the 3 minutes cooldown period.

The SmartThings Motion sensors has a quicker response time, just a few seconds, so they are better for this kind of use.

I posted a quite good video from YouTube in another post, which does a good sum of what current sensors are capable of.

The topic was about open/close sensors but the video has motion sensors as well.
