Motion Sensor/Lights

[SBDOBRESCU (Bobby)]

@DwayneMccoy … You might be able to use the “double duty” app and a virtual switch to disable the motion event. In its “glory days” the double duty app was very reliable, however there have been recent anomalies reported by various people including the guy who created. It’s really a great use of GE switches, so it might work for you.

UPDATED 10/7/2015 -- "Double Duty" - Use redundant switch presses to control other lights. You paid a lot for those switches, make them work Double Duty!

Hi all, UPDATE 10/7/2015: This app now allows you to specify independent slave switches for the redundant “on” and “off” presses. A WORD ABOUT DIMMERS: I recommend using this app with pure on/off switches and NOT dimmers. Due to the nature of dimmer switches, this app may have the following unexpected behavior: Turning the master switch “off” from “on” may result in toggling your slave switches/lights (because Dimmers send redundant events). Additionally, dimming your lights to “0” via an app may also result in the toggle being triggered. This is because the dim to 0 is interpreted as “off” and sent as a physical event. As of right now, there is no elegant way for me to handle these situations, but I don’t think they “break” anything – just be mindful of them! I personally use thi…

Or you can even try “double tap”. It’s an app on the marketplace under “Lights & Switches” category. Same principle for both apps, you add a second event on your GE switch to turn on a virtual switch to cancel the motion.
