because in several scene’s in my HA logic, I don’t want the motion sensors to be sensing motion.
Ive set the motion sensors thresholds and sensitivity in the App. When watching a movie, I dont want my auditorium motion sensors to trigger the lights, so turn then off automatically in my Movie script. After that, when asleep, I want them to watch over the house again, and turn them on.
as said, I like to monitor the internal logic of Hue. Hue uses this to calculate their routines, and for the sake of being able to correlate to these, it is very nice to have the identical sensor in Ha available.
again, Hue uses it for the routines home/away, which can be streamlined into Ha using the tracker. And monitored.
other than that I use different tracking tools of course. Life360 is the best for now, especially considering the flaws the mobile_app is experiencing at the moment (seems to be an issue with iOS versioning, many people have posted, not so many dev;'s have replied). Not to mention the impact the mobile_app has on the device…and Ha for that matter, with all the sensors being created.
