the best way i have found to play a sound with motion sensor is to use x10 dispatch and tell it to play the sound when the house code and unit code is sent and click on the sounds tab and use the sound spam controls. cause if you use ahp not only do you get a delay but with a motion sensor it will play about 4 times in a row everytime the sensor is set off.you can find x10dispatch on here
