In my case, I have a Lutron dimmer controlled by Lutron occupancy sensors via Motion Lighting. I’m having a similar issue and this ‘fix’ causes it’s own set of issues. Select the dimmer switch in the app as a switch to turn off the lights. I don't know about you, but this was a good exercise for me to go through to understand how the motion lighting app works and what the limitations of the app are. But if you manully turn on the lights and the Motion Lighting app then is triggered by motion, the Motion Lighting app will turn off the lights according to the rules in the app. Likewise, if you turn on the lights using the dimmer switch without triggering the Motion Lighting app, the lights will stay on until they are turned off manually. At 10:20 the Motion Lighting app will turn off the lights and it's after this point that the lights can again be triggered by a motion event At 10:05 you leave the area and no motion is detected anymore. You continue walking around the area but the lights will now not turn back on again since the motion lighting app still thinks that the lights are on. You have your delay off set to 15 minutes which means the lights won't turn off until 15 minutes after motion was last detected.Īt 10:00 the lights are turned off using the off button on the dimmer switch. When the app hasn't detected that the lights are off, it will not turn the lights back on again until after the app thinks it has turned the lights off again, which will occur after the last motion was detected in the room. Ok, so I've done some further is correct in that when the lights are turned off by the dimmer switch, the motion lighting app still thinks the lights are on (most of the times at least, I've seen occassions where it properly detected the lights were turned off). The issue with this light not coming back on again might be because the same issue as I'm having with the living room lights, but I have no idea why the lights wouldn't turn off to begin with. This morning, the light won't come on again. Last night I noticed the light didn't turn off so I turned it off (the room that is, which is what the motion sensor also controls) using the Hue App on my phone. Turn on when motion is detected and then delay off by 1 minute. It is using motion lighting as well to turn on and off, but a very basic set of rules. The light is connected to the Hue Bridge but the sensor is connected to HE. I've got a light in the cloak room which is only controlled by a motion sensor. I also had issues with another light which I have never had issues with at all before. I'll see if I can do some further testing with this tonight but at this point it almost looks like there is a time delay from that the button is pushed to turn off the lights until the automation again can turn them on. Sadly, she reported she had had to turn them on manually. So when I got to work I rang my wife to see if she had had to turn on the lights with the button or if they had come on by themselves (in day mode now). I was then thinking that maybe it's the change of modes that makes the automation kick in and work again. Once the lights have been turned off with the button, they won't come on again automatically. So after the lights came on this morning (this was still in night mode) I turned them off with the button to see if I would have the same issue during night mode to trigger the lights by motion. It's almost like there is a time delay which resets it and it then works again. Then this morning, much like during the night yesterday, the lights come on automatically first thing. So, as I said above, the lights came on as they should in the evening but when I then used the off button on the dimmer switch to turn them off, they wouldn't come on again when triggered by motion.
