Lighting controller timeout after manual switch off?
I’m trying to figure out which variable controls the re-enabling of the lighting controller after a manual switch off. Here’s the set up I have:
Presence block that has a motion sensor and T5 switch linked to it
Lighting controller block that has the same T5 linked and also Presence block output tied to P
Presence block has a reset that is linked from the lighting controller being switched off manually via T5 double tap (RQ from lighting controller block is linked to R on presence block)
The behaviour I have right now is:
- Motion or switch press turns on lights (good)
- Lights time out after the defined timeout/lack of continued presence (good)
What I want to figure out though, is what the parameter is that controls re-enablement of presence if I manually intervene in the meantime. What I see right now is:
- Motion or swithc press turns on lights (good)
- During the lights being on, manually turn off lights via T5 and this works (good)
- Lights do not switch back on after the lighting controller Ti expires (I have it set to a relatively low 5 seconds) – even if motion is detected.
Is this expected, or is there another parameter that I need to be tweaking for this situation?

Hi Sean
The Ti parameter you reference should indeed be the one in play. Have you pulled the presence input on to the page seperately but not connected in Live View to make sure that the R input of the presence block is also resetting the presence sensor.
If not then this would explain your issue as the presence sensor is still active while the presence block is not, so the sensor would have to go low and then high again to re-enable the block.
If this is the case please reach out to Loxone support who can help you investigate further.
