Motion sensors the right way - Smarter Homey 

Thank you. I am new to Homey and this was quite helpful. I hope you start making more frequent videos to help us noobs out.

Fantastic, just started with my homey pro, and these advanced flows are so powerful. I would never have considered this approach. Great stuff!

Excellent ideas. Looking forward to seeing more of your advanced flows.

Great to see these types of videos on Homey!! I'm experimenting with mmWave motion sensors myself. Next item on my list to buy is the Sonoff mmWave motion sensor :):)

Good stuff! I suppose you could also use motion sensors in neighboring rooms to determine whether you may have left the room or not? If the motion detector in the living room was the last one to trigger, it should (provided you have enough well placed motion detectors) be possible to deduce that you cannot have left the room, and it shouldn't start triggering any timeouts. If you don't live alone, you obviously can't say that triggering the motion sensor in the neighboring room means you must have left the room, but the reverse seems sound. Is this something you have experimented with?

Great stuff, Menno. Not dashboard related, but I love seeing how you solved some of the common problems when using motion sensors. I am not controlling lights with a motion sensor because of these issues. But I am going to give it a try based on your flow. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

Great video. Just working on setting Hdashboard up, and i think it's very very good. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

Thanks, great explanation !

Hi Menno, nice video mate! a comment and a question. Why pause the timer and not stop them? and could you expand this flow with a physical button override? My kids sometimes want to leave the light on in the "overpass ;)" for an hour or so when going to sleep.

Very helpful thanks. Great explanation 👍

Greate thanks

Nice video Menno! I did learn something new. But I expected you to demonstrate the use of Zones (active and inactive) instead of motion sensors. I have learned some time ago it's better to use zones for this. This way when changing motion sensors you don't have to repair the flows. Another thing you didn't mention is that most motion sensors themselves already have a build in time-out. For example Aqara motion sensors (and I believe also the Philips ones) have a minimal detection time of 60 seconds. Meaning only after 60 seconds the motion sensor signals there is no motion anymore.

Nice! can you make the light dim slowely, like fading out, instead of a step down from 100% to 30%, and from 30% to 0%?

Goeie uitleg!

Great video Menno! Im gonna try it right away! Also curious why not use 'zone gets active' in stead of 'motion alarm turned on'.

I don't understand why or how the homey apps are not tied to the manufacturers apps...

Is there anyway to make this into a HomeKit automation?
