1. According to the manual, I should be able to change via advanced settings different thresholds and colors. However, I don’t see how I can get to the advanced setting to make any changes.

I use this device type. It allows you to make all of the advanced changes within the smartThings App.

[OBSOLETE] Fibaro Motion Sensor - New device-handler with all settings and auto sync feature

Hi community, This is my very own Fibaro Motion Sensor device-handler with ALL parameters customizable and an autosync feature when the device wake up.

2. I honestly don’t see much use for it (I know I ordered it), except simply turn on the lights if it detects movement in the dark and turn lights off after some time. What else can you use it for?

I use luminance levels to change modes and run Routines. My house is situated in a way where the sun blazes in the front windows at sunrise and in our back windows at sunset. We also have a second floor that gets sun mid day. So I have 1 sensor in each location to track which rooms need light when I enter and which rooms don’t. I also set a “Gloomy mode” if all 3 of them are under a certain level. With Gloomy Mode, I change my hue lights to a more cheery color.
