Hi all, I’ve been messing around with a flow to get something basic done, but can’t manage to make it work :-/ Context : A neo coolcam PIRV2 is placed in the kitchen. If it is getting dark < 5 lux, than the lights should turn on when there is movement. First I created a more simple flow, but I’ve…

I would advice you to doenload papertrails and add logging to your flows. That way at least you can see what flows are triggering and what are not Dont know the coolcam pir, but I gues it has something to do with the “no motion” flow If you are not experienced in building flows I would advice you…

You can do it much simpeler. Just combine the motion and the lux value in one flow: If motion And lux is <5 Then do something. [49]

That’s exactly what I used (using the timer and all) als tutorial. Thanks btw for this clear tutorial @Rocodamelshekima . But somehow, things got really weird. I use this way of working for another motion sensing bulb, and it works just fine. Something is happening in the relation between motion & lu…

Have some Flows similar as written by @neluz with Neo CoolcamV2-Sensors. All have a “Timer-Function” without an extra Timer-App and using Lux-Values. Working fine. FLOW1 When Motion-Detection On And Sensor-Lux is not greater 5 And MyBulb is Off Then Turn On MyBulb FLOW2 When Motion-Detection…

Thanks for your reply @CyberSponk !!! Well, the problem is thats I can 't combine the tip sensors from 1 device in one flow: for example, Wegen motion-detection on, I can 't use the lux-sensor in And function. Maybe thats potje problem. Eager to know how @neluz Managed to do so

[image] Bart_W: I can 't use the lux-sensor in And function Didn’t could find/read out why you can’t use it. Motion and Lux should taken from the same Sensor?

Wenn ich den Bewegungssensor in einem Fluss verwende, kann ich ihn nicht mit dem Lichtsensor in demselben Fluss kombinieren

Sure, this works. In When is your Motion-Sensor, in Then your Bulb. What have you in When and Then?

The problem was in the THAN, but I realized I was stukje in my logic: I used the motion sensor in the when and the lux sensor in the AND. I should use a logica function reading out the density

Or just start here. Why reinvent the wheel again?
