I have a simple setup with a Zigbee motion detector (arduro) and a Kaku socket switch. I created a flow which switches the light on when there is motion and another flow that swithces the light off when there is no motion. Seems simple, but…
Even though I am in the room with the motion detector and I am moving around the detector thinks there is no motion and switches the light off. After a few seconds it detects motion and comes back on again.
What am I doing wrong ?
PS: I have tried this also with a KAKU Zigbee motion detector and the result is the same.

Hello @Idso_Brouwer,
looks like you are using delays in your flows. These are then called again and again, i.e. when you move in front of the motion sensor, the flow light on is called again and again, but the flow light off is also called again and again.
But this is just a guess, it would be good if you share your flows.
Not necessarily. It is quite normal for a motion sensor to send “motion on” and “motion off” messages when there is constant motion. So you have to deal with this “motion off” messages by skipping them somehow.
I got it solved by using timers.
