Hello there!
I'm new to this forum and am in the midst of a project for Halloween, which I cannot seem to figure out. A disclaimer: I've only done low-voltage LED wiring before this and I'm a designer, not an engineer, so I'm in the learning phase. I'm making a trigger activated candy dispenser and the reason for the delay relay, is I don't want the motor engage continuously (basically, so kids can't steal all the candy--they have to wait like 5-10 seconds for the next turn). I've tried to power the load, as well as the trigger, via the delay relay, but once the power hits the motor, it just turns on by it's own, bypassing the switch and relay. Also, the motion sensor does not seem to work, but I've tried two different makes and I think it's me that's the problem. Anyone have any bright ideas, or suggestions for additional or different parts, video tutorials? I'm at a loss.

Thanks for anyone's time and mind they put into this--it's appreciated and I'm hoping to do even more next Halloween!
All my best,

I'm new to this forum and am in the midst of a project for Halloween, which I cannot seem to figure out.

The Goals
- Create a motion sensor activated candy dispensing machine, to social distance this Halloween. I know--I could create a candy chute, but this is so much more fun!
- Need the delay relay, or some intermediary device, so that there is a delay between each candy dispense, so kids don't turn the dispenser into a candy fountain. ;-)
The Problems:
- Motion sensor switch does not turn on motor when connected through delay relay
- If I power the load w/ the delay relay power source, it engages the motor, bypassing the delay relay
- If I power the load independently, it engages motor continuously
