Hi, i bought a second motion sensor, the first one worked perfect. I don’t use a hue bridge. But i can’t get the second one to work. I installed fine, but it doesn’t trigger anything. I installed it via the hue app. Any ideas? ---

It also shows movement all the time even if there are no movement, and if there are movement, it doesn’t trigger anything ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/4/4b22689b0fb864467d4b609f063ed0733c0e7ec0.jpeg) ---

Can be a bad pairing. If so you can Remove it using Settings - ZigBee - Remove a device an add it again while having it close to the Homey unit to make sure the pairing works better. ---

so, i bought an other hue motion sensor, it installed fine via the app, and worked like it should for like 5 min, then it stopped working, and now it acts just like the motion sensor (i can’t remove it etc). so now i have 1 hue motion sensor that works, and two that doesn’t. this is so frustrating… ---

I have exactly the same problem. The motion alarm is on all the time. I read some posts and i think it’s a common problem for a long time with Homey. (also the Fibaro). I send a mail to Athom with my problem.
