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 don’t even see the motion sensor added with Matter in the “THEN” field. ![Screenshot 2023-11-20 at 10.19.09](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/7/a7abeef6431f04ddee07e06e8bfb11a2f7b3fe90.png) ---

Those cards don’t make sense (how can you turn on a motion sensor from Homey?). Did you add the sensors as generic Zigbee, or with the “Hue, without the bridge” app? ---

I added them using : [Philips Hue App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.philips.hue/Philips-Hue/) ---

Well, like I said, those cards don’t make sense anyway. ---

Using the Hue-with-bridge app you can switch a motion sensor on or off (like it’s possible with Hue mobile app, too). I think that’s a special case in the HueAPI that is not defined/possible with Matter definition. ---

Ah right, thanks. In that case, it’s 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. ---

We’re a year along and I recently switched to Hue via Matter, but it’s ridiculous, that the sensor is not visible using a ‘then’ card… Off course I can use magic to ignore the sensor in another way, but turning it on and off is so much easier. ---

> [@EvelynA010](#): > > We’re a year along and I recently switched to Hue via Matter, but it’s ridiculous, that the sensor is not visible using a ‘then’ card Turning off sensors isn’t supported by Matter, it’s simply not part of the protocol. And it probably never will be because it doesn’t make sense. ---

I have a different opinion. Like when a curtain is moving, because it’s closed and there’s a draft, I just don’t want any flow to be triggered. Off course I’ve solved it now with variables, but a simple ‘turn sensor off’ was much easier. ---

I understand that being able to _ignore_ the input of a sensor makes sense, but turning off their reporting doesn’t IMO.
