It is fixed at 1 minute. This means if there is no motion after one minute, the off command will be sent. You can defeat the off command altogether, via jumper. The problem with this configuration is that you won't get successive ON triggers as long as activity is going on so you don't get the opportunity to reset an Indigo timer every time there is motion. You only get another ON after there is at least one minute of inactivity, followed by additional motion.

remove delayed actions for device "remote device name here"

The 1 minute delay is the factory default. Unfortunately, the only way to change it is by sending it an INSTEON Extended Data Command.
support wrote:I think that might work, although I'm not sure if that information is considered to fall under SmartLab's NDA or not. Therefore, I cannot post it.

support wrote:Indigo 4.0 beta 8 (to be posted shortly) has improvements for both INSTEON and X10 Motion Sensors. Specifically, Indigo now gives an ON/OFF state to motion sensors and has some options for automatically managing the auto-off duration amount. I've updated the Motion Sensor wiki page with some more specifics.

support wrote:Correct, the motion sensor wouldn't send the OFF until 25 + internal off-delay, then Indigo will automatically manage an additional 30 minute delay on top of that.
