ELK Programming: Bypass motion detection when a light is manually turned off

[ph0n33z]

Alright,

I am wondering how to go about programming my ELK M1 to do the following. I have motion sensors setup to turn on certain lights at night. However, when I want to turn off the light manually, after hitting the dimmer switch to off, the motion sees me and turns the light back on! What would be a good way of bypassing the motion after a light is manually turned off?

Create a whenever rule that states Whenever the light is turned off, set Output 100 to On for 5 minutes.
Then edit your motion on rule and add requirement that says And if output 100 is off.

Output 100 shouldn't actually be connected to anything so you can use it as a variable.
