i use the Aqara motion sesnor with an ikea light bulb. to say exactly when is hard casue for me it seems random- it works fine maybe 2-3 times in a row then it stops and fails.

You have to be methodical about this: does the motion sensor work? does Homey activate the zone correctly? does the light work? To find out if the motion sensor works, create a flow: “WHEN motion is detected THEN write a message to the timeline”. Run that flow for a few days to see if it always …

What I thought was about the „Blind time“ of motion sensors. So if you go out of the WC and quickly go in again, it could be that the motion sensor didn’t recognize you because the blind time is still active.

If its “blind time” or not depends on how you build your flows. if your light is switched off based on a timer after zone active. Then this time is blind time. (Since the zone will stay active even if the timer has passed, so ot will not trigger again) if your light is switched off based on a …
