I have set up 3 Motion sensors to react in flows based on Lux and motion all works fine at first. Then for some reason the motion or lux stops reading. I then have to go into the settings and reset the sensor and it works again for a while. I am missing something in seting the sensors up as all 3 stop working not just one of them.
Thanks in Advance
Andy

Yes I also have this. I just ended up creating a Flow to restart the Hue app every day at 4 AM, which solves it.
Enable the Power User experiment in More-\>Settings-\>Experiments, then create a Flow:
WHEN:
Date/Time: The time is 4 AM (or any other time when you don’t use it)
THEN:
System: Restart app Philips Hue

Likely with Hue Bridge, since I have exactly the same issue where it stops reporting. But restarting the app daily fixes it (for me at least)
