I’m having the same issue, is there a version out where this is resolved? (running 2.0.46).
Thanks!

The model number on the back is 9290030674
Any clue on how to solve ?
Hope you can help me

@johan_bendz Could you add this ID to the already existing light bulb A60?

Try the test version of the app: [Philips Hue, without the bridge App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.philips.hue.zigbee/Philips-Hue,-without-the-bridge/test) that should work according to an old Dutch thread:

Hi there.
The old driver used a timer to handle the resetting of an alarm. This is actually bad practice.
When I rewrote the code to use the reported reset sent from the device, it reports start of movement and end of movement, the ability to change the reset was lost. I see there are quite some requests to have the manual timed reset for this device still… I’ll consider adding this ability.

Hi @Dennis_H74, looks like a new version of the device. I’ll add it to the app.
Just to make sure nothing has changed in the unit, please interview the unit and post the data here.

Hi @Lipas.
Not working for you? Do you use the test version of the app?
I have the device working with all buttons and wheel here.

Hi
I have the outdoor Hue Sensor which I want to use to measure lux levels for switching lights on and off.
It seems that the device reports the lux level to homey every 5 minutes. I’ve changed the max and min settings in the app to make it report more often but it seems altering these values make no difference.
Homey insights also show it reports every 5 mins.
I have a homey pro 2019 and I’m using the 2.0.46 version of the app.
Hoping someone can help or advise. Thanks

Maybe it will only send a new message when the lux has changed, or maybe a low battery?
But what I don’t understand why you need a faster response? The sun is not rising that fast 😉
Is it because you want to use it as a trigger? Use the motion sensor as a trigger? Or sun down plus 10 minutes?

Hi yeah I use the lux level as a trigger
Below 200 lights on
Above 50 lights off
I use some other lux levels for indoor lights etc as well. Reporting every 5 mins is not the end of the world but the settings allow you to change this to report every 60s.
When motion is triggered it always takes a new lux reading.
As the setting allows the reporting interval to be set to report more often, this is what id like to do. The issue is that when I alter the values it makes no difference to the frequency of the reporting.

Maybe you make two flows. One triggered by Lux, one by motion AND checking lux.
Faster reporting also drains your battery faster.

Hi I’m using a battery eliminator so in essence it’s hardwired so frequent reporting is fine for that purpose.
It’s also in an area that doesn’t get much motion, what do you mean by create two flows, could you expand further please.

One flow that switches on the light when it gets dark, and one flow that switches on the light when motion is detected and it is dark. If the light is not yet switched on by the first flow, you still will not walk in the dark, as it will be switched on by the second.
But maybe you can change the timers by pairing it to a hue bridge first. Hoping the timers will not reset when you pair it to Homey.

Thanks but i dont need to motion part of it at all, I’m using it for lux only.
If the setting could be paired using the bridge then id do that if there wouldn’t be reset when pairing it with the homey.
Maybe someone can advise

Greetings @johan_bendz !
Thanks for publishing and supporting this app. It has made all my Hue devices much more responsive, since the homey / hub communication is removed!
I have a question. In the original Hue app it was possible to adjust the sensitivity of a motion detector. I am not finding this option in the homey app.
My issue is currently that I have an outdoor motion detector that is triggered by a leaf moving in the wind, so I’d like to turn down the sensitivity. It worked well through the Hue hub, but is overly sensitive now.
**Is this achieved by using the «presence detector» instead of «motion detector» device, or will the app need re-programming?**
