Turn Off a "Sensor"

I use a few Fibaro Universal sensors in my HA setup. On some occasions one of them will stick with Status "On". I want to run a turn "Off" if still "On" after x seconds which I should be able to do easily . However due to it being a sensor you can't turn it "On" or "Off" in the conventional way you would with a device. But strangely it can be switched within Indigo Touch. Am I missing something obvious?? Can I do the same via an Indigo action?

They can't be turned on or off traditionally only through the device list UI, you can still turn them on and off via an action group. I do the same thing, in fact I have almost the same sensor and I'll use a trigger to turn it off (you can also configure the "off" setting via the devices ZWave config too).

Here's the Py code to turn them off by the way:

Code: Select all

indigo.sensor.setOnState(YOURSENSORID, value=False)


Thanks for the Py code.

you can still turn them on and off via an action group.

I don't see how I can do this..

I meant via Py code, so running a server script.

And doing it via the settings (your Fibaro motion sensor may be slightly different):

OK I understand the action group now!
I have the same motion sensors also both the universal sensor is different.
Thanks.
