Dear@416to305, regarding the Hue lamps happy that the EA5 fixed the apparent problem, although for the future readers I might have some hints: it is better to use a Philips Hue scene inside the Hue and trigger that from outside, this way all the Hue lamps are in sync (this can be done with this driver https://www.unilogiq.com/en/control4-drivers) The farther the lamps away from the Hue Gateway the longer the link (it's a mesh network), the higher the probability to receive all commands, thus make sure that the Wifi and Hue frequencies are set properly for coexistence (https://www.metageek.com/training/resources/zigbee-wifi-coexistence/). Limit the number of devices per Hue Gateway to 50 (the gateway is not a race-car ) otherwise commands might get dropped Limit the number of pulls from the Hue Gateway by different apps so that the Hue gateway is not under high load Make sure the Hue lights are always powered

Yes, there is an issue how the Hue Bridge was designed, it does not allow external triggers, thus only pooling is a way to get the data out of the Hue System ... which takes quite some time since the Bridges are not having big CPUs.

Try this one https://www.unilogiq.com/en/control4-drivers Let me know via PM if you would like to use the existing Hue scenes and we will provide you a demo. All the best, Bogdan

Yes and yes. This is my usage scenario, triggering the command from the keypads depending on night/day conditions. I use set scene instead of on and off room or lights to reduce the load on the HUE Bridge. Let me know your email via PM and I'll give you my newest version to try it out and give feedback.

Hi @ajmccaus, I was simply creating the scenes with the Hue App and implemented in the driver the possibility to select one of them from the list and also room off/all room off. In the Compose this is realized using commands with parameters and it can be tested before by using Actions with parameters.

The driver is independent of the bridge version. The sensors are compatible until now with all 3 HW revisions of the bridge (there are two different HW versions of the v2). Depends on the hight and number of animals crossing the sensor you might need to change the motion sensibility. For me the medium sensitivity works best at 2.5m height looking down the stairs (only 3 values for motion are available).

I had the same problem so we updated our HUE Sensors driver to activate a Hue light scene for a given group (or room) via a command. This way you can design your light scenes with the specialized Hue App and just trigger them together with the Control4 lights from within Control4. You can check it out at https://www.unilogiq.com/en/control4-drivers

Please find the update for the hue driver at https://www.unilogiq.com/en/control4-drivers Currently only group scenes supported. Enjoy!

P.S. there is an undocumented feature: goto the UnilogIQ hue gateway driver page and under actions and also commands you will find a possibility to trigger light scenes. This is our early xmas present to all of you! We wish you great christmas time and a happy new year!

Hi, The action is on the gateway driver not on the sensor side. Could you please double check the Users Guide the chapter named Installation, especially if you already did install the "Philips Hue Motion Sensor Gateway driver" (you can zoom in to see the detailed pictures). In order to connect them you should try to check the connections of the gateway driver. If there is none detected, you can enforce a search for the sensors by performing the “Discover new devices” action. After that you could install the "Philips Hue Motion Sensor driver" and connect it's input to the selected gateway connection. We tested this driver with 2.10.x and 3.0 and 3.1.

Sorry for that, (a couple of days offline) our hosting provider had an issue. We changed it since a while, never have that issue again.

You should be carefully using motion sensors in the bedrooms and disable those at night or simply put them at foot level so that don't interact with the people while asleep. One option is to put it under the bed and put night lights on when you get off the bed.

I’m using it for security triggers when I’m not at home. While at home I use it to disconnect the heated towel rail 5 Minutes after there is no movement in Bathroom. The tower rail is connected through a TP-Link hs110 wifi Smart plug for which You also find a driver under https://www.unilogiq.com/en/control4-drivers In the Kids room, we use the sensors to turn off the lights when no movement for 15 minutes. Same we do with certain heavy duty electrical devices like the Iron, we turn it off if there is no movement in the house. the temperature readings we use to alert that windows are open in the winter for longer than 15 minutes. You could combine the hue sensor input with energy reading of the hs110 to decide better if person is home: e.g. if coffe machine is brewing or other lamps went on. i hope I could give you some ideas how to use the drivers. Happy to know which ideas you have. BR, Bogdan

You're welcome! Remember that you cannot use the Phillips Hue Motion Sensor without a Phillips Hue Bridge.

Dear k3nnis, the Hue Motion Sensor driver it was working also with an old 2.8.x (although I would recommend to update :). I would give it a try: just download it from here and try it out for 2 days https://www.unilogiq.com/en/control4-drivers Install the driver follow the installation instructions and connect it's output to a motion sensor from the My drivers -> Sensors -> Generic C4 motion sensor in the right side of the Composer.
