[APP][Pro] Philips Hue Zigbee (Without the bridge)

The behavior of the slm004 as motion sensor is the same as occupancy sensor. If the alarm goes on, it will reset in 10 seconds if you don’t move again.
For the Hue motion sensor you can change the reset time. For the occupancy sensors not.

I want to be able to change reset time. This is the (only) reason why I want to set the SLM004 to motion instead of occupancy.

Based upon the device ID the app decides which device it is and which driver to use.
So you can’t install the SLM004 as a motion sensor. Why it is not possible to change the reset time could be due to the SLM004 or the app. I have no idea. Maybe you can ask the author of the app.
Even when it is possible to change the reset time, it might be changed in the device or in the Homey app.
The reason I can think of to set the reset time from 10 to 60 seconds is to have less network traffic.

In the picture below, you can change the reset time in the app, probably in case you miss an alarm off message from the motion sensor.

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

Thanks!

Hi johan

Today i received an hue outdoor sensor i want to use for LUX value.

No matter what outdoor sensor i select i get :

“Could not find app, device added as unknown zigbee device”

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 that should work according to an old Dutch thread:
Beweging sensor Philips Hue outdoor - #9 by Rmb

To late …. Bought me ( another :pensive: ) hub … the Hue hub this time

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.

Interview button to the right of your device.

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.

I have the test app installed and I have only 4 buttons available.

He johan

You asked people a year ago to do the same on github for this model … so its not new.I already bought the bridge unfortunately.

How do i to “interview “ ?

If so it should be solved since long:

Did you install the test version of the app?

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

Meant to say is the SML004 I have

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 :wink:
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.
