I'm trying to use a motion sensor air in my toilet.

It's connected to the Motion input of a v1 lighting block.  the issue i'm having is if the light is switched off manually - then there seems to be a long delay before the sensor will operate the lights.

At the moment i've got
TH=10
Ti=0 (delay of the motion sensor) but it;s not working. 

What am i missing?

I've got the timer out.  

If 10 seconds passes and the lights go off movement will immediately turn them back on. 

Manually switching off the lights means the motion sensor does not switch them back on until about 2 minutes have passed.

TH is how long the lights stay on for after a movement detection
Ti is the delay after you manually switch them off when the motion detector is disabled

eg my toilet has TH at 3 mins - 3 minutes after the last movement activity
Ti 3 seconds, so if you turn the light off with the switch, it doesnt immediately turn on again with the movement of leaving

That’s what is confusing me. The Ti doesn’t seem to be working for me. I’ve got it set to 0 (and i tried other settings) but it’s behaving as if set to 120

last resort is to delete the original light block and create a new replacement with the same settings - sometimes they just seem to get themselves into a twist

I've now created a new block and deleted the old on.  Monitoring in liveview the sensor is sending the signal but the delay caused by Ti still seems out of whack with the setting.  If '5' is meant to be 5 seconds in reality seems a lot longer.

The timer Ti is reset when Mv is high.  If it's set to 0, Mv has to go to 0 first, before the lights can be activated again via Mv.
Maybe your motion sensor has a high 'Overrun duration during motion' parameter.

Where is that setting?  I was sure I saw some settings on the Loxone Air sensor itself when doing the initial setup but can't find them again
