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…

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 goo…
