Motion state as string

rob_a_landry · October 15, 2016, 1:18pm

I am working on a smartapp that has 3 triggers and motion to cause a light to go on and then using runIn, turn off after a time delay. The problem is that currently, once the time has been met, if you are actively moving, ie. motion active, the light still goes off. You then have to wait for motion to go inactive, and then active again to turn the light back on. What i am trying to do is get the motion state and see if it is active, if so reset the timer. Unfortunately i am having quite the trouble comparing the returned motion state with a string.

snippit.groovy

def turnOnOffAfterDelay() {
	log.debug "turnOnOffAfterDelay: State: ${state}"

	// Get the status of motion
	def motionState = motions.currentMotion
	def motionStateValue = motionState.value
	// For some reason inactive != inactive, so what type is it?
	log.debug "motionStateValue instanceof String? ${motionStateValue instanceof String}"
	log.debug "motionStateValue instanceof Integer? ${motionStateValue instanceof Integer}"
	log.debug "motionStateValue instanceof Double? ${motionStateValue instanceof Double}"

Have a look at the code in zone motion manager, you can find what you need in there.
