So, sustained values is a godsend feature but I found it bugs out with the Philio PST-02B multisensor. It triggers on other flow cards like “luminance changed”, but not “greater than X for X seconds”. Any idea what’s going on and how do one contact Homey support?

When did you test the sustained value flow? If the luminance was already greater than 5 lux, it won’t trigger.

You first have to wait for the luminance to get under the 5 lux threshold before the card to trigger the flow. The sustained card only triggers once and only when the luminance _gets_ (becomes) above the 5 lux threshold.

If you want the flow to trigger continuously when the luminance _is_ above 5 lux then you’d better use the sustained values card provided by the [Device Capabilities app](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/nl.qluster-it.DeviceCapabilities/Device-Capabilities/). That also offers more options.

It’s been running (brokedly) for days, with real world values from the previous flows that worked fine. I also tested with temperature from the same sensor, and saw the same fault.

Luninance and sustained values work fine with a Fibaro sensor.

There are many other ways to achieve the same functionality, but this is a bug report for sustained values.

Okay, then I suggest you report this to Athom directly via a support ticket: [Support | Homey](https://homey.app/support/) .

This is a user community forum, which Athom does not actively monitor.
