Hey guys/girls,
Just wanting to pick your brains again, I use a Wemo motion in the kitchen to turn the lights on and off as I walk in and out, I am currently using Tasker to catch the on and off intents but it has its moments when it does not want to listen.
I have just noticed That the Wemo plugin is seeing the motion as actions and am wanting to try Vox to catch the intents, The only issue I have is with Tasker I have it set to "Turn lights on with motion" then "Turn off in 5 mins with no motion" so when no motion a 5 min timer starts but resets back to 5 if it detects motion. Can I do this in VOX?
Cheers
Shayne

this can definitely be done, you would use VC.SetEventTimer (http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Actions#SetEventTimer) when motion is detected to turn the light off in five minutes,
the event will of course need to trigger a command that you have to turn your lights off,
so as long as VC can control your lights then you can use the Wemo Motion Events to turn the lights on and off, and shouldn't need Tasker at all for this

You can also use VC.StopEventTimer (http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Actions#StopEventTimer) to cancel the timer when a motion event (http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Events) is triggered.

This is just what I was looking for. Glad the solution is so simple.
