Unfortunately the zone does not become active, which is a shame. You should use the card from the Philips Hue app. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/8/b87801cb042dcbc44b97733463646331db4d47b2.png) ---

Thanks for helping me but unfortunately adding the card still doesn’t do anything. I added an timeline card to monitor but no result. ---

No subscription here. But you use different cards, of a motion detector. Not the MotionAware card. ---

You’re right, I didn’t see that. But it’s the motion detected card for the motion area.. I would expect this to work too. I changed the card to the one you showed. But still nothing… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/1/71600cd3418fdade0c7d0787760517d991667c0c.png) unfortunately it still doesn’t work. ---

Since for 2-3 weeks my Philips Hue app is acting really strange. Every 10 minutes till approx. 30 minutes, all Hue lights get a red triangle 🔺 with an exclamation mark. Lights of course don’t react to pressing the buttons. No other solution than restarting the Philips Hue app. After that, I can control the lights again. Restarting the Hue bridge doesn’t bring a solution. Latest version of the Philips app (7.3.3), and the versions before. Latest firmware of the Homey (12.10.1)and the versions before. Homey 2023 Pro. I think it’s related to the Homey, as I experience quite some other problems, like slow respons adding or changing flows, not reachable from within the IOS app, empty list of apps (?!) and after some minutes luckily they reappear. Other devices now and than also het a red triangle also have to restart the app. Memory is almost full. PTP and wait 13 minutes: no effect (does that even work at the HP2023, or only at the white round Homey?) New adapter, as the symptoms look like the ones caused by a defect adapter. Any idea what’s going on? Any solutions? ---

I have the same problem. Looks like it’s related to the latest update (7.3.3). I haven’t found a solution yet but I might write a script that restarts the hue app regulary if no new update is pushed to fix it. ---

When will this app add a Hold Press card for the Tap Dial? It’s possible in the Hue app, but not in Homey. ---

Having the same problems. red marks for all the lights. When i manualy restart the app they all come back. Homey en Hue bridge are in the same network, both static ip’s. Bridge: 1.74.1974063020 Homey Pro 2023: 12.10.1 App: 9.7.0.1876 ![WhatsApp Image 2026-01-19 at 21.09.49](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/2/928cb75ed3c1e240ac2cdd43a7720a838a750b36.jpeg) ---

And no problem here. I monitored the Hue bulbs in Homey for over an hour: no red triangle. ![Hue app Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/7/77bfeb51cf03fd44446d92de1e659c559b6c554e.png) Hue 4 is off due to the tv being on. I use the Hue Bridge Pro as interface (all current firmware). ---

Did you find a solution for this? I have the exact same problem. I have tried with 3 different motionaware zones in my house and cant get any of them to work with advanced flow starting card (when) ”Hue motion detected in xxx” ---

Yes, I did. I turned off the activate lights switch in the Hue app because I didn’t want the Hue app to do anything. But you need to turn it on and then remove all lights from the lights section so it will only let Homey know there is motion. And it doesn’t turn on the lights via the Hue app. ![1000121818](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/a/0a2e3759ea611574651ff935c1e17bc40526d2c1.jpeg) After enabling the toggle everything works fine. Even the trigger that activates the motion detected status. So the zone will become active. ---
