FREE motion detector driver included.  This driver will execute 'Starts Sensing Motion', 'Stops Sensing Motion' and 'Timer Expired' events. The timer is killed when it starts sensing motion. Once the driver stops sensing motion it will start the timer. Once the timer expired it will fire the 'Timer Expired' event. This simplifies programming if multiple occupancy based programming is required.

Note that this driver will not populate the Control4 navigator. If you require a motion sensor proxy then a Control4 motion sensor driver will need to be added and binded to the same Zone connection as the Recluse AV motion sensor driver.
