I just set up new hue motion sensor to turn on the LED lights in the kitchen where’s a movement. It really sucks. The flow is set up to keep the lights on when there was a movement for 15 minutes. The light goes off when the movement is off. No disapointment. That product is a c r a p. So many issue…

Your flows are almost right… but you’ll need to swap the motion alarm to the IF column and the Cupboard condition to the AND colum. WHEN… the motion alarm turned on (Motion sensor) | …AND… LUX < 60, Is turned off (Cupboard) | …THEN Reset countdown timer (Kitchen Cupboard), Set brightness (Cupboar…

Are you sure you don’t need the count down timer, it kinda sounds like the flow is being triggered whenever it detects motion (regardless of whether or not the light is already on) which in turn means that every 15 minutes after it detects motion … the lights are turned off … ie, you walk into the…

As per your example re flows, do I need three of them?

Yes, there are multiple examples shared on this forum before showing the 3-flow approach commonly used: turning on the light is based on the motion alarm trigger (and light intensity and possible time) timer is (re)set at each motion alarm cancellation turning off the light is when the timer reach…

I have hue motion sensor set up to switch the lights on at low lux. And switch radio on at movent and off after 15 min if no movement. Works fine! So I think you have an issue in you flow. I would avice you to add logging ( papertrails) so you can log the behaviour of your flows

You’re probably right. I was so frustrated and wrote this. I did what Jamie advised but still something wrong. The light goes on but never turns off. Flows are as follows ( I had to merge them as one file as I’m not allowed tpo attach more that one file as a new user): [04] Any one could help, p…

The way you trigger those flows will not work, Turned off is a momentary situation and the flow will only fire precisely then. You should rather trigger the flow with motion and have a check in AND if the light is on or not. Your second flow should be changed into one that checks for movement durin…

If I trigger with motion then in the second column “…and” I can’t change the light behavior. It only allows - Is turned on - can’t change to anything else.

The second flow checks if there was a movement and light were on and resets the countdown, I guess. I can’t see the exact option to reset. It’s only - Start countdown timer, which I believe is the one that is required here. Sorry, for you it’s easy-peasy but I have only just started. Thanks

@rafi check the flow example of the first search result; it shows the exact 3 flows to rebuild with your Philips HUE motion sensor: https://community.homey.app/search?context=topic&context_id=2983&q=Motion%20flow&skip_context=true direct link of @Rocodamelshekima ’s flow example: Motion flow

I agree with johan, your flows will not work this way (and they dont). The way you created them they wil only be triggered at the precise moment that you turn of the cupboard. Thats not what you want. Flow 1 you want to trigger (WHEN) every time your motion detector does not see motion anymore. t…
