How to turn off the Lights after 10 o'clock without any movement being detected.

Cupertino, April 3, 2020

Hello guys,

I try to configure my smart bulbs (Philips hue) only with the motion of the sensor, so I don't need to order the siri command to turn it off or on scenes or lights.

The thing is, I'm now stuck trying to turn off the lights after X minutes without any movement being detected, but I want other conditions:

1.- The sensor detects the movement and sets the Scene "A"

2.- When no movement is detected in the next X min

3.- If the lights are identical to Scene "A" (which means I have not changed any light manually)

4.- Turn off the Lights

& # X200B;

If by any chance, the sensor detects movement again, I want the loop to start from point 1.- Restart any movement detected in the next "X MIN" stopwatch.

I read in another post that someone does:
1.- Automation called "ON": when the sensors detect the scene A set by the movement

2.- Automation called "OFF": when the sensors detect that there is no movement, check that the lights are the same as scene A and set "scene A" + option to deactivate at home after X min

I'm not sure this would work the way I want, especially since:
The sensor image detects movement for the first time. After 5 seconds, the sensor does not detect any movement, so the program already executes the 2.- automation. Now imagine that 1:30 minutes have already passed since "X minutes deactivate the work" and the sensor detects movement again, in the sense that we will execute the automation 1.-
Then, when the 1.- automation is completed, I think the program will return to the "OFF" automation where it was, with 1.30 min already gone.

So if X min is 2 minutes, for example, the lights will go off after 30 seconds, so I don't think the movement will restart the "stopwatch".

Does anyone know if what I'm saying is true or not?

I also read that someone could change the time it takes for the sensor to change from "motion detected" to "no motion detected", setting this time to X minutes with an app that cost $ 17.
That would definitely solve my problem, but I have no way to change that and I don't want to pay that amount for that simple thing.
The sensors are philips hue sensors, but they do not use the philips application because the programming tools are limited.

I have tried to set specific rules for api philips, but it takes too long to study and implement, so I would appreciate any easy way to try to do what I mentioned. If it is easy to do in honeys, I can look it up, but I need the documentation to know exactly the JSON message I will send to the deck to change the time sensor, when it detects movement to change. I read that this time by default it is 5 seconds and it makes sense that while in the Homekit application, when I go to the sensor, I can see the Homekit application saying "motion detected" for several seconds.

Thank you in advance. Any other solution is more than welcome, as long as it works ^
