Hello there you lovely people.  
I’m having a brain fart here, and hope you guys can help.  
Im trying to do a simple flow where a Hue Motion turn on some lamps and then wait a while before they turn off, they work the first time, but then for some reason the light turns off instantly after the first run.  
What am I doing wrong?

Flow 1: Motion alarm activated - Turn on all lamps  
Flow 2: Motion alarm deactivated - wait 10min - turn off all lamps

Thank you:)

Hi!  
This wil not work. An motion sensor is not continuous triggered when you are in the room. You can better install a timer app (countdown or chronograph for example) and use that.

Example in that case:  
Easy:

1. When motion, turn lamp on and (re)start timer at x minutes
2. When timer is empty, turn lamp off.

Moderate:  
1a. When motion and lamp off, turn lamp on and (re) start timer ar x minutes  
1b …. And lamp on, just (re) start timer.  
2. When timer empty and lamp on, turn off

Expert:  
1a. When motion and Lux is Lower than xxx and lamp off then….  
1b. When motion and Lamp on, then just (re)start timer at x minutes.  
2… when timer empty and no movement and lamp on, turn off or ‘dim’ in x seconds to 0%

Here you have some nice ‘template’ flows, which you can import and adjust to your needs
