Hi all,
I am using two Hue Motion/Light-Level sensors in my corridor.
I am using the switch-channel “dark” which “indicates whether the light level is below the darkness threshold or not”.
This channel compares the threshold (as set in the Hue App) to the current light level, given by the channel “light_level”.
The problem is:
This channel “light_level” does not update when the light level changes.
It does update when the sensor detects motion.
How did I find out?
I am monitoring the “light_level” value via the Sitemap on my mobile.
Switching on/off the lights in the corridor does not trigger an update of the “light_level” values.
Switching on/off the lights and walking through the corridor does trigger an update of the “light_level” values.
Any idea?
The polling interval of the sensor is set to 500 ms default.
Here my hue.things:
Bridge hue:bridge:1 [ ipAddress="192.168.0.XXX", userName="my user name"] {
0106 light-level-sensor_north "Helligkeit-Nord" @ "Flur" [ sensorId="14" ]
0107 motion-sensor_north "Bewegungsmelder-Nord" @ "Flur" [ sensorId="13" ]
0106 light-level-sensor_south "Helligkeit-Süd" @ "Flur" [ sensorId="18" ]
0107 motion-sensor_south "Bewegungsmelder-Süd" @ "Flur" [ sensorId="17" ]
}
And the items:
//Switchgroups Sensors

Group:Switch:OR(ON,OFF) CorridorLightlevelSensorDark
// Sensor Corridor North
Switch CorridorMotionSensorPresence_north (CorridorMotionSensor) { channel="hue:0107:1:motion-sensor_north:presence" }
