I suddenlny notice that my ikea motion sensor stop updating the motion activity.  
So my only options was to delete and add the device again as a new device in homey.

this went great but now I see that the motion alarm remains active for so long. sometimes 9 minute active, while there is no one on that floor.

There also no way to adjust the motion reset time.

So given that before the re-adding it function properly i am curious how to fix this.

Because of this behaviour allot of the flows act very unprecictably and inccorectly.
