hi, this is probably a basic one, but I have 2 hue sensors that turn lights on, they are set for 15 mins, so if youre in a room they go off after 15 mins, which is what they should do, but I want them to restart this 15 min count while there is continued movement in the room, as there is a shower area that doesn't have a sensor, so is there a way to get the motion sensors to restart this count while there is movement ? I want to do something similar in another area but I cant have it turn off and back on again, hopefully this makes sense !
You can do this manually in Rule Machine but the Motion Lighting app is tailored specifically to do this and more.
Check out the documentation below and let us know if you still have any questions.

you are legend thankyou, I had it setup in simple lighting, ill change it now, thankyou
I had it setup in simple lighting, I clearly wasn't reaching high enough lol
I would set it up slightly differently. This will continue to set the lights to 100% whenever motion is detected. I prefer to do this:
Trigger: Motion Changing
Action:
If Any motion sensor active then
Cancel delayed actions
If light is off
turn light on
end-if
Else-if ALL motion sensors inactive
delay actions for 10 minuets.
Turn lights off
End if.
This way, if you manually turn the lights down, if motion goes inactive for a minute and then active again, it won't brighten the lights back up to 100%. Kind of a built-in level override.
Nice one.
Hadn't thought of that.
