Motion detector time limited deactivation

[Kai-Roger]

Hi,

Try to use this when having a event based script with os.sleep:

Code:

-- Always start your script with this PID check to kill previous instance when needed
tpid = storage.get('PID:' .. _SCRIPTNAME)
if tpid == nil then
   pid = os.getpid()
   storage.set('PID:' .. _SCRIPTNAME, pid)
else
 pid = os.getpid()  
 storage.set('PID:' .. _SCRIPTNAME, pid)
 os.kill(tpid, signal.SIGKILL)
end

-- Put here your normal script with os.sleep()


-- End of script

-- Always end your script with removal of not needed storage data
storage.delete('PID:' .. _SCRIPTNAME)

BR,

Erwin

Thanks  I am not  all that in to scripting yet, but i'm learning. Is all i have to do, just to put my script inside this one, or do i have to change something in your script to adapt it to my system?
