Goodday, I am new at this forum, just installed my Homey and busy finding out the possibilities. I have one question: I have made a flow in where the hue sensor light value is below 100 the lights have to switch on. ( and a flow for the opposite ).

@johan_bendz , is there a possibility to increase the polling interval of the Hue Motion Sensor? The settings „Min./Max report interval for lux“ seems not to work correctly. With settings „Min. = 1 s“ and „Max. = 60 s“ seems to have no influence of the polling interval. The polling interval seems to…
