Tried several things we should guess? Maybe post a screenie of the flow that doesn’t work. Maybe delete the AND part and check if it works. ---

I use the “It’s after sunset” card and it works, so I don’t think that is the issue. But if you suspect that, just remove that card and try your flow, If you still have issues you could try replace the “This zone became active” for your motion censor directly. If you want to be sure that it’s not the light turn on card that fails you could add a notification card so you can check your time line if the lights should have turned on. If you just go through your flow step-by-step and changing/replacing/adding cards I’m sure you will figuring out what’s causing your flow not to work as you want. Good luck! ---

Don’t forget the test button, there is a good reason for it. ---

I have tested diferent settings in “then” and the after sunset is not working for me, if I put in a fixed time is is OK, but I can´t find anywhere to set the time zone used to determen sunset. ---

I’d guess it has something to do with the localization option inside the app, right? ---

Not sure, it is relevant to help you but I had an issue with the before dawn and after sunset rules as they are upside down, I supposed it was the french translation but not sure. Anyway, I have following flow working like a charm to get a tempo switching the light automatically on motion detector only when it is dark … ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/2/c27f33446e5d05b5aca0fb80ad2cd4acb46b6263.png) ---

I never use the become active trigger, mostly because it wasn’t there jet when I made most of my flows Try it simple. First just when the sensor become active no other conditions, try that and if that works, add the conditions and test it with every step. Hope this helps. Good luck!
