  1. I got it up and running on the v2 Bridge. It's just too sensitive. Even when at the lowest sensitive setting between the 3 options. It's a like a wind just will set it off. Anyway I am not thinking out to dial it in better that what I can do in the driver properties now? The range is just two far out for what I want to do with it. (Edited for fat fingering typos.)
  2. I've been evaluating the Hue Motion Sensor and the 3rd party driver from Unilogiq for about a month. It's currently connected via the Phillips Hue bridge v1. Everything has been fine and integrates with my a handful of Hue Lights and Lighting Strips (also on C4). v1 of the Bridge is effectively deprecated. Any known issues with moving the Motion Sensor to v2 of the Bridge? I like the color changing lights and the integration with C4 is sufficient enough for my purposes. I would like to go to v2 so I can use some of the newer hardware, features, and capabilities it offers. Anyone running the Hue Motion Sensor on v2 of the Bridge and/or had migrated from one to the other? I would prefer not have both v1 and v2 bridges since that means 2 Hue-specific apps for fine-tuning in addition the standard C4 app for basic on/off stuff. I am not using any of the geo-location routines or anythign like that. All the lights are turned on/off by C4 programming (except when something breaks, which has only happened once so far.) TL;DR - Does the Driver and the Motion Sensor work ok with Hue Bridge v2?
  3. Yikes. I kept trying to "select all" to "copy" and totally overlooked the "copy all." Boy, do I feel like a dummy. Thank you. I like the Macros idea even better, so you only have do that once. Never even considered that. Thank you again!
  4. I have some programming associated to a Motion Sensor that after a lot of trial and error works really well. I now want to copy that same programming to another device without doing it "by hand." I haven't found a way (and maybe their is not such feature?) to "copy/paste" or "export/import" programming from one device to another. This seems like it would be a basic feature for homes with a lot of devices, so I think I am being dense and over-looking something that might be right in front of me. To re-iterated, I don't need programming help and am looking for advice on the best/fastest way to "copy and paste" programming used on any device to any other device. The programming is not THAT complicated, but it's long enough that re-creating by hand for dozens of motion sensors would be a non-trivial amount of work and error prone.
  5. I am curious why the need to do the "virtual" Motion Sensor and connect it to the Phillips? I tested my programming off the actual sensor and the virtual version and it seems to work fine either way? So, it's just not immediately obvious to me since the properties in the Device Manager of the virtual Motion Sensor aren't particularly useful and neither are the query (example, you can't get the battery voltage from the virtual version, but can from the actual sensor). So far, so good. I wouldn't mind helping these folks out with their documentation. It's better than most by a large margin but could still use some TLC and updates. I got confused more than once trying to sort out the connections between the Gateway, the Sensor, and the "virtual Sensor" that could of been easily avoided with some more consistency in the level of detail provided and where screenshots are placed. The instructions also just has some errors and typos, presumably from trying to translate it from German? Either way, it does work pretty well so far. I am testing one of these and one of the C4/Card Acesss motion sensors right now and for a few days before I decide which way to go. It's nice of them to allow a trial period on the driver and even if I don't go this way, I'm still a fan. -V PS: My test case is O3 with Hue Bridge v1.
  6. Thanks everyone. I now have 1 of each of these installed and on the system to evaluate both. I am on OS3 with a hue bridge gen 1 (I know, I know, leave me alone). The both have pros and cons. If anyone is interested, I'll write up a little summary when my eval is over. I am going to go find the best place to post some comments/questions about the Unilogiq stuff.
  7. Interesting. We checked with C4 on that sensor and they said 'no, don't use it outdoors. I have several of the WMS10, but not the -2. Thank you so very much. I may sacrifice one of mine "for the fun of it." I did order 1 of Hue. It's not very expensive and they have a 3 day trial on the driver. Looks like a good side-by-side test is in order. (I love this stuff. Thanks all for your help over the years.)
  8. Looking for recommendation for an OUTDOOR rated (aka "weatherproof") battery powered Motion Sensor with C4 drivers. Found lots and lots of stuff for indoor use and have 14 Card Access motion sensors (Card Access WMS10) myself.
