Tasmota - How To Automate A Light Using A Motion Sensor With Rules And Timers

[@clairerovic]

I have 20 + Tasmota devices. This was clear to the point and practical. Thanks 👍

[@JC-zw9vs]

Superb explanation. Many thanks

I want when time 20:40 all day on switch. Can it work

NOTE: The Tuya Motion Sensor device would need flashing to Tasmota, this device does not come pre flashed. The Rule is in the description, expand it / show more.

hi great video, can I make my own sensor motion with ESP and if is possible to create rules with alexa

[@kevinlee3334]

I've got an issue where when the light goes off, the motion detector senses that as a motion and again turns the bulb on.... it becomes a cycle of on-off-on-off.... any way to rectify this?

[@primetechguides3050]

Try this remember to enable both rules - Rule1 1 and Rule2 1 Then reboot device. Rule1 ON System#Boot DO Var1 1 ENDON Rule2 ON Power1#state=1 DO Backlog0 WebSend [mylight] Power %Var1%; RuleTimer1 20 ENDON ON Rules#Timer=1 DO Backlog0 Var1 0; WebSend [mylight] Power OFF; RuleTimer2 4 ENDON ON Rules#Timer=2 DO Var1 1 ENDON

Is it possible to display the rules created on a unit

[@primetechguides3050]

you mean when you just type Rule1 on the console?, it should be in the output

[@dumindujayasinghe]

Where is the automation run on. A node red or pc or a cloud or on the same esp. ?

[@primetechguides3050]

Doing it this way was just direct Tasmota device to Tasmota device communication using a http request.

[@dumindujayasinghe]

I’m currently using 8 relays and one dht22 sensor on same esp32 running tasmota. So will i be able to use that dht22 data to turn on/off a relay in same esp board via console? Thanks

[@primetechguides3050]

@@dumindujayasinghe For sure. similar concept in this video, using Websend and referencing the devices IP address or hostname, I think chatgpt might be able to draw up the basics of what you need, rule wise

[@dumindujayasinghe]

Thanks you very much. I’ll look for it. ❤

Hi, can you please help me to get mqtt host name with rules?

[@primetechguides3050]

I've not done much with MQTT but I believe its in Configure > Configure MQTT > Topic to change the name. This video just for direct communicating between devices.
