I basically have this working now, the idea is to turn on a few lights when it gets dark outside, sometime before my sunset scene kicks in.
However there is a small problem and that is that the dusk/dawn sensor sends several on/off signals before it settles in.
I configured I/O Link to send an email when it receives signals on the sensor that causes it to send INSTEON On/Off signals to my "Dusk" scene, so that I can see what happens.
Here is an example of what happened today at 7:56-7:58PM when it did get dark, Within 2 minutes I received the following:
INSTEON I/O Linc - Opened - Lights ON
INSTEON I/O Linc - Closed - Lights OFF
INSTEON I/O Linc - Opened - Lights ON
INSTEON I/O Linc - Closed - Lights OFF
INSTEON I/O Linc - Opened - Lights ON
INSTEON I/O Linc - Closed - Lights OFF
INSTEON I/O Linc - Opened - Lights ON
I am looking for a way to configure some type of delay or latency to avoid the I/O link to react on all those sensor inputs.
The Dusk/Dawn sensor does not have any configuration option like this as far as I can see.
The I/O link has several configuration options in the iPhone Edit Device screen. I have not found any documentation on how to configure those options and most of the seems to have to do with the relay settings and not with sensor input.
I am looking or something like this "Do not react on a sensor command unless the sensor has been quiet for at least 2-3 minutes"
Anybody else had this issue??
Thanks, Ken
