I am new to Homey so forgive me if this is somethjng that is overly basic. I have a homey pro and successfully got an Aeotec multisensor 7 when there is low light to activate my cabinet lights in my kitchen. The problem i am having is that despite bei g in ckear sight of the motion sensor, the lights go off… how do i set a flow so that when i am in tbe room, the lights dont turn off?

See the principle here:

> [@The Flow Exchange(r) - Exchange Your Flows with Others!](https://community.homey.app/t/the-flow-exchange-r-exchange-your-flows-with-others/68981/8):
>
> Zone Activity Controlled Light / Device To prevent the light (or other device) from turning off (or on), while there’s still motion detected. It uses Homey’s Zone Activity AND a timer. This way your motion- & contactsensors become exchangeable and expandable, without having to fix the flow. This way, you can add a sensor, remove one (use 1 sensor minimum), use one with another protocol (f.i. zigbee/wifi/z-wave) in a zone. Apps used [Chronograph](https://homey.app/a/nl.fellownet.chronograph/)Flow example:

This worked perfectly. Thank you!
