I’ve setup an automation in my kitchen to turn on work lights on motion. After 5 minutes of no motion it should turn off.
The problem I have is that it turns off the light after 5 minutes even if motion is still detected. Waving is not even working to turn it back on because motion is actually detected.
Is there a way for it to not turn of the light while motion is still detected?
I’m using the ST motion sensor and the Ikea wireless drivers.
Use smart lighting.
I have found that the custom automation creator will not work with what your trying to do.
Thank you. I will try this and see if it works better.
Not directly related to your problem, but similar if someone else is using a Hue Motion Sensor.
My dining room lights weren’t responding consistently. Finally figured out that it wasn’t that the motion wasn’t being detected or that the automation/routine wasn’t working… the daylight threshold was set too high. The sensor kept reading that the ambient light bright enough to not turn on the light.
What was happening as the season changed was the sunlight coming through the window on more cloudless days and at a slightly different angle was reflecting off the floor!

Hi,
Is it screenshot from the new app?
I do not have such items, STHM only…
Unfortunately, I can’t answer that question. I am only fluent in American English.
FWIW… I don’t believe that STHM is available in every country.
I mean your screenshot. It displays smartlining for example. I don’t have such an item and I don’t understand how to add it.
Sorry for my English. 
Ok. I understand now. Smart lighting is available in both apps. The top screenshot below is from the classic app, bottom screenshot is from the V3 app. Smart lighting was installed with both of my apps. I didn’t have to install it separately. Maybe your country is different. I don’t know.
I was sure that apps can be installed in the classic version only. Everything that I tried to add from the repository in the new version does not appear to me.
For me Smart Lighting was available in new app without doing anything. I’m in the UK .
@oldcomputerwiz I also wanted to say that your solution works and it fixed the issue.
Yes, smart lighting is a core part of the app. I thought that it would be installed automatically.
@Alexander_vm If you don’t have smart lighting maybe you could try uninstalling and reinstalling the app? The other option would be to contact ST support.
I’m in Aus and having the same issue. I cannot find smart lighting in the app. When I click on Automations and then + it comes up with “Add a condition”. Also the only thing that shows in Add SmartApp is “Smartthings home monitor”
I added the old app and then smart lighting from there. Went back into the new and it showed up.
Doesn’t really matter if I use the Smart Lighting og the regular Automation. The ST sensor has a real issue detecting movement after it has turned on the light and “Wait 5 minutes without movement” to turn it off. I cannot believe my wife has stood completely still for 5 minutes in the bathroom when it happens. And why will it not turn itself back on when shes waving her arms right in front of it?
I’m sorry but this isnt good enough. Up until this point my wife is less than impressed with ST, and to be frank, so am I. I mean it’s great if you want to wait 30 seconds before being able to use anything after opening the app, that is, if you don’t have to close it and reopening it first.
i am having exactly the same problem, my lights get turned off even tho the condition of no motion for 5 mins hasn’t been fulfilled .How can it have such a big bug for such a simple automation? Are you telling me you can’t simple make lights turn off if no motion has been sense for 5 mins to work properly? I recently installed tons of sensors in a house and this problem is very annoying .
If i redo this automation in webcore does it have the same problem?
Use smart lighting. It’s under smart apps.
No. webCoRE does not have this issue. SmartLighting works as well. The issue with SmartLighting is if you have motion to Set Level say at 30% and then you manually adjust to 50%, when motion is detected again, it will reset the light back to 30%.
If a simple turn off if no motion for x minutes is all you need, SmartLighting handles that without issues.
You can set up smart lighting so this doesn’t happen. Use 2 rules. Use the first rule to turn on the light when motion is detected while using the option to not execute this rule if the light is already on. It won’t change the light level then. Use the second rule to turn off the light after motion stops for xx minutes.
i’m more familiar with webcore so ill just go along with that, thanks, something like this should work , something like this should do the job if i repeat it for all of my rooms
