Smart App with delay functions

[Sirtuc]

We have a client that is looking to have motion sensor trigger lights to turn on, if motion is still present after 1 minute to turn on another device, 1 min later turn on another device…

Intended to simulate someone being home and walking around the house, kitchen lights on, then garage lights, then outside lights… or something like that.

anyone know of a way to accomplish this?

FAQ: What is WebCoRE? (And what was CoRE?)

CoRE (now WebCore) is a very powerful community – created rules engine for SmartThings. It allows you to set up stacked conditionals like “If A then B but only while C and not if D.” Setting it up can be quite complex, but there are many community members who will be glad to help you. For example, here is a piston that one member created to notify him if the dog had already been fed twice that day and he picked up the dog bowl for a third time. He needed this because he has a large family and people didn’t always remember whose turn it was to feed the dog. :dog::blush: [image] The original version of CoRE Has now been replaced by a new version, WebCoRE, which moves the data entry to a web interface. This allows for flexibility and an architecture that requires more memory than is av…

New App: Vacation Light Director

Occupancy light simulator will simulate your house being lived in even when you are not. Pick a set of lights and at a interval you specify the app will turn off all lights and then turn on a random set of lights. Nice things is you can restrict this to mode/time/day of week. It is always triggered by mode change but will not run outside of specific restrictions you set. Nice things is it will not run if someone is home and the mode changes. Thanks to @dave for testing!!! https://github.com/tslagle13/SmartThings/blob/master/Director-Series-Apps/Vacation-Lighting-Director/Vacation%20Lighting%20Director.groovy

@rontalley I found these vacation extensions but we want to use a motion sensor as a trigger for the delayed program/piston…

[rontalley]

CoRE is awesome and I usually recommend it but seeing what your ultimate goal was…

How will the motion be triggered if no one is home? Of course CoRE can do that but…

[Sirtuc]

its intended use is when nobody is around and someone enters the yard (burglar/intruder) the program runs and if someones home then the lights will start turning on as well as other alerts…

Oh, that’s “Smart”!
