UPDATE: Added implementation using AQARA FP300 presence sensor below Introduction This is not a guide on how to implement a specific use case, but rather a framework that will give you full control over zone activity. Many flows like turning on/off lights could be done much simpler. However, when my…

Hello dsdevries Thank you very much for your detailed description :star_struck:, I will try to implement it, because I had exactly the problems you described.

This is a really interesting article. Especially because I’ve recently started using an Aqara FP300 in my hallway as well. I tried to recreate your advanced flow, but due to my lack of knowledge I get stuck at one point. In the card “If…” in the fourth row, you have: “#Dining Aera Virtual Motion Se…

Hey @RogerSennhauser That variable is just a variable that I created. You can create your own number variable by clicking the variables button on the top left. The advantage here is that you can change the value of that variable at any time. Even from other flows.

[image] dsdevries: In this case, the flow is run every time motion is detected Got a bit confused here, suggest to change this to “the second flow is run”.

Hey @FKey

Thank you for the feedback. I adjusted it.

Flow or Device Issue?
