[Hai-users] Motion Sensing Logic Befuddled

[Bruce Schroeder]

If I am understanding your request I think you can stop a timer from
counting by explicitly setting it to 0. That should not trigger the OFF
event. You should be able to lose the flgOVRRIDE3 steps.

example: WHEN ra16_FOYER ON PRESSED set flgFOYERBUSY to 0
It won't start counting again until the dark and off and motion conditions
are met.

Hope it helps.
