Hello - not too sure if someone can help or not but my bathroom lights do not turn on (nightlight scene) after 11pm.
Equipment: Hue Lamps; Hue Dial Tap; Aqara FP300 Multi-sensor.
Flows: See screenshots
The Hue lamps trigger on once the bathroom is dark enough and the sensor picks up motion. They stay on when presence is recorded. They switch off when no motion/presence is detected after 60 seconds. The lights switch on/off using the Hue dial tap.
Can anyone suggest changes or perhaps point me in the direction of where things are breaking down?
Thanks in advance.

I could not exactly determine how the flow sections are connected. However, this part caught my eye:
If the luminance is less than 15 then both tests are true and both the top and bottom part is executed. Not sure whether that is your intention.

Also, if I understand the [guidance](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/com.cyclone-software.sunevents/Sun-Events/) correctly, the following card:
applies to events on the same day. Which will never be true, as sunrise of the current day has already passed at 23hrs.
I think it is easier if you just connect that part of the flow to the false connector of the ‘it is between sunrise and 23:00’ card.

Hey SunBeech - thanks for taking the time to respond.
The flow section is per attached - the flow uses a couple of variables:
1. Bathroom\_Light\_State = 0 (Checks to see if lights already on)
2. Bathroom\_Manual\_Mode = 0 (Checks to see if lights were turned on via the Hue Dial Tap)
If the luminance was below 20 and the time was between sunrise and 23:00 it would activate the Energise scene.
or
If the luminance was below 15 and the time was between 23:00 and sunrise it would activate the Nightlight scene.
Don’t know if that changes or answers your query?
I’ll drop one of the luminances and see if that helps.
Cheers, Al

Ah - like this…

Thanks for the clarification.
Yes indeed. You can combine both sections, as the false connector represents the opposite period (after 23hrs until sunrise the next day).

Thank you - I’ll see what after 11pm brings 🥰

@AberdeenAl
You could also have a look at the tutorial I wrote about how I integrated motion sensors including the fp300 in my flows. I found an issue where motion sensors could be triggered with old luminous values if you tie your flows directly to the “when the motion alarm turned on” card.
I was able to solve a lot of issues with my setup:

> Hey @FKey Thank you for the feedback. I adjusted it.
With my setup, I was also able to still use moods that overrule autonomous dimming flows like this:

Thanks - I’ll take a look at that over the weekend.
