Measurements for Homey 2019  
Homey: HP2019  
Sensor: **Hue motion sensor on Philips Hue app**

1. Zone activity is 1-5ms _before_ sensor motion
2. Zone inactivity is 1-5ms _before_ sensor inactivity.
3. Zone inactive for 1 min is 7-8ms _before_ 60s.

A surprising difference with the HP2023.  
Tested with both Simple flows and Advanced flows.  
It still does not mean there is an issue, though it would be useful to know if some of your motion sensors show motion for a full 60s before becoming inactive.
