Sonoff RF Bridge (ESPurna FW) how to activate /Auto OFF PIR Motion Sensor

Configuration
1

I have a Sonoff RF Bridge running on ESPurna firmware.
I’m able to see the RF signal from sonoff PIR .
The Bridge has been setup (via code learning) to detect motion for switch #0 ON & motion for switch #0 OFF (Basically Both are the same code as the PIR don’t send any ON or OFF code).

I want to set up an automation when Motion is detected thru PIR Turn ON the Light.

The Problem is First-time Motion is detected the light goes to ON

After that, the PIR status in Sonoff RF Bridge running on ESPurna is always ON
How do I set it OFF automatically?

I am thinking something like below but not sure how to implement.

Automation 1: when Motion is detected thru PIR Turn ON the Light. (THis is possible & I have the code working)

Automation 2: Turn OFF the PIR Motion sensor to OFF automatically after few seconds (Say 3 Seconds)

I don’t see any code that will automatically OFF my sensor after few seconds. (Only Minutes or Hours delay available in automation Conditions)

Please help

Thanks in advance.

I have Tasmota on my Sonoff Bridge but it should work in a similar fashion. Here’s my anim:

  • alias: Reset RF Motion State
    hide_entity: true
    initial_state: ‘on’
    trigger:
    • platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.hall_motion
      to: ‘on’
      for:
      seconds: 5
      action:
    • service: mqtt.publish
      data:
      topic: home/OpenMQTTGateway/SRFBtoMQTT
      payload: 13853614off

This resets the PIR status to off after 5secs.

Failing that, have you tried using fractional numbers? For example 3 Seconds = 0.05 Minutes.

The below code worked for Espurna

alias: Reset PIR Motion State
trigger:

  • entity_id: binary_sensor.movement
    for:
    hours: 0
    minutes: 0.083
    platform: state
    to: ‘on’
    condition: []
    action:
  • data:
    payload: 30A2019A04CED2908E
    topic: /SBRIDGE01/rfout/set
    service: mqtt.publish

I know this is an old thread but I was having the same problem and this is what my binary sensors look. You don’t need any automation for resetting the sensor, instead just add the off_delay flag. Mine resets in 5 seconds

- platform: mqtt
    state_topic: "tele/RF_Bridge/RESULT"
    name: 'Master Bedroom Motion'
    value_template: '{{value_json.RfReceived.Data}}'
    payload_on: 'E8282E'
    off_delay: 5
    device_class: motion
    optimistic: false
    qos: 1
    retain: false
