I like to use store bought PIR motion sensors and have them trigger a Pam-1 relay due to their quality and being much safer. I’ve been using heks Door, Window and Push-button sketch with S_MOTION/S_DOOR. This way I only have to short one of the pins to ground.

Well today I took the multi button relay sketch and combined it with heks sketch allowing me to have multiple motions on one pro mini.

Here’s the sketch with two motions

@rejoe2 It's working

Although I'm not sure if this part makes sense?

hek,

Would it be possible if you could make a new video that's more up to date? I know that this could be asking a lot but I tried multiple times to combine sketches/examples to no avail. I presently have nodes next to each other that I would love to be able to combine them together. Also, possibly adding in how to add two of the same examples, for example two door/window sensors?

I really want to get a grasp on this and have been reading a lot but unfortunately I’m still missing something.

Either way thanks you for your video. Even though I haven’t been able to get anything working I now have a better understanding of what needs to be done.

Wanted to post it incase someone else wants to use it.
