Rules for PIR combination ??

[vincen]

Hi

I have wired two PIR sensor on my ESP to cover correctly a room with strange layout. I only want one signal to come back on MQTT to tell me if there is someone in the room or not. Instead of getting both PIR back to my automation system, I was thinking to use rules in ESP to combine both PIR such as as soon as one detects something it sends signal to tell it is, and as soon as both PIR detects no more anything then send signal to say room empty.
Is it possible to use AND in rules ? and what is best or possible ? Get a logic rule to trigger an other GPIO and I link that GPIO to a switch to send back mqtt message or directly trigger the MQTT message from rules ?

Side note: running ESP Easy 2 dev 11 just in case.

Thanks for advice as never used yet the rules

Yes it is possible with rules, though I really don't see the point.

Code: Select all

on pir1#switch=1 do
Publish Mqtt msg
Endon
On pir2#switch=1 do
Publish mqtt msg
Endon

For and

Code: Select all

On pir1#switch=1 do
If [pir2#switch]=1
Do something
Endif
Endon

Please look for the rules tutorial in the wiki, it will answer your questions. Why are you stingy with devices on your home automation?

Sorry but what do you mean by "stingy devices" ??

Why don't you want to have both pir on your controller? You can just make them into 1 virtual pir in domoticz/openhab/ whatever

Be aware that "do something" will only happen when both pit are triggered at the same time
