I have added a Hue motion sensor with the Hue app (zigbee) and using matter. I noticed that when creating an (advanced) flow, the sensor added with zigbee is showing me 2 options in a THEN card which the sensor added with matter does not show.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
Which options? Which cards?
These 2 cards when the motion sensor is added over zigbee: I donât even see the motion sensor added with Matter in the âTHENâ field.
Those cards donât make sense (how can you turn on a motion sensor from Homey?).
Did you add the sensors as generic Zigbee, or with the âHue, without the bridgeâ app?
I added them using : Philips Hue App voor Homey | Homey
Well, like I said, those cards donât make sense anyway.
Using the Hue-with-bridge app you can switch a motion sensor on or off (like itâs possible with Hue mobile app, too).
I think thatâs a special case in the HueAPI that is not defined/possible with Matter definition.
Ah right, thanks. In that case, itâs only possible when using the Hue API I guess.
Yes, I use that also to enable or disable a motion sensor from a flow. I.e. if lights are turned on from hue switches, then I disable motion sensor until the lights are turned off again.
Shame if it missing from the matter device, means that some extra logic needs to be added.
Weâre a year along and I recently switched to Hue via Matter, but itâs ridiculous, that the sensor is not visible using a âthenâ card⊠Off course I can use magic to ignore the sensor in another way, but turning it on and off is so much easier.
Turning off sensors isnât supported by Matter, itâs simply not part of the protocol. And it probably never will be because it doesnât make sense.
I have a different opinion. Like when a curtain is moving, because itâs closed and thereâs a draft, I just donât want any flow to be triggered. Off course Iâve solved it now with variables, but a simple âturn sensor offâ was much easier.
I understand that being able to ignore the input of a sensor makes sense, but turning off their reporting doesnât IMO.
