Turning on and off lights using motion sensor (HUE) - cant seem to reach the right stuff

As mentioned, im using Homey Pro to control a hue motion sensor. when i walk into the room i want it to turn on two diff smart plugs - which it does. But when i keep sitting there working, it just turns off randomly.

Is there any way to avoid this - to have the motion sensor check again somehow?

There are already countless examples here in the forum, I also wrote about this yesterday in the linked post: Slow Flow - #20 by DirkG

However, these flows only work if the Motion Sensor frequently detects more or less significant movements.
There are also so-called Presence Sensors available which register even the smallest movements, e.g. the SONOFF Zigbee Human Presence Sensor (SNZB-06P).
But of course, it depends on the use case if a Motion Sensor or a Presence Sensor is the better solution.

Or, you move to a mmWave sensor. This was the fix for me to detect if Iā€™m in the office or not.

The SONOFF Presence Sensor SNZB-06P is a mmWave sensor.
