Motion detection with wireless detector(s)

Lights, or other devices used in a motion detection routine should preferably not be used directly in any other routine e.g. do not use these lights or devices in a Basic all-off routine.

If you want to control these devices with other actions or routines, use the motion detection routine in this routine and not the devices.
