Need help with a Motion Senson SmartApp

[dura4570]

I need assistance with a Motion Sensor app.

I need a SmartApp that will sense motion, turn on a light, and turn that light off within a user specified number of seconds regardless of continued motion. Then reset and wait for motion again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

       wait 30 seconds
       turn off
}

This allows for flexibility and an architecture that requires more memory than is av…
