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](https://community.homey.app/t/slow-flow/79623/20) 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)](https://sonoff.tech/product/gateway-and-sensors/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 I’m in the office or not. ---

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