Hello all, I am new to x10 community and wants to know about these motion sensors. I have about 5 of them are installed in each room it is working as its turned on when some one walks in but it turned off after a minute even some one is there inside the room and this is happening in all of my rooms so I know there is some problem from my side there is nothing wrong with the sensors. I am using lamp module, rocket socket, decorative wall switchs. Please let me know if there is any solution also I want to know about the mounting sensor as now I have on top window about 7 feet high. One more thing I want to mention it will turn on again as you hail your hand or do some kind of motion there.

Thanks

The x10 motion sensors detect "Motion" and have a default OFF setting which I believe is 1 min.
If no motion is detected then the OFF is sent at the programed time!
Increase the delay time and test!

ziakhan,

You may also want to be carefull to not use consecutive unit numbers when setting up your motion sensors. Most of the X10 motion sensors send a unit code plus one, on or off with changes in light. Example:  set up the four you have like this B1, B3, B5, B7  not B1. B2, B3, B4.
