Programming help

[Bibliscan]

Hi guys

I have a ca motion sensor that controls my outdoor lights via a c4 outlet switch. It's programmed so that if the sensors light level falls below 20% and it senses motion to turn on the lights then after 30 seconds to turn them off. I want to be able to override it so that if I choose to turn it on manually when the light level is below 20% to not turn it off after 30 seconds. And if I do manually turn off the lights it goes back to being controlled though motion sensing. How would I program that?

Create a boolean variable called override. Then have some way to toggle the variable a custom button? or a button on a 6 button or even a double tap on that light switch. Then where you have your programming put an if variable "if override is true" then nest a "stop" after that. then when the overide is true it will not get to the turn light off.

Hope that makes sense

To add to Ryan's response, I would change the LED color when the override is activated.

I'm not that great with variables. Can someone be more specific to write this code.
