Turn Light Off Using Motion Sensor

Turn Light Off Using Motion Sensor

With the Hub Mode in Controller for HomeKit, you can efficiently control your lighting with a motion sensor. While turning on the lights upon motion detection is straightforward, workflows offer significant advantages for turning them off.

Start Event

Select the motion sensor and the event "no motion detected".

Steps

Add a Wait Step

Add a 30-second “Wait” step. Feel free to adjust the duration as needed; 30 seconds has proven effective in our setup.

Add a "Control Accessory" Step

Set the light’s power state to off.

Stop Event

Set "motion detected" as the stop condition.

Final Overview

This ensures the light turns off only after 30 seconds of inactivity. If motion is detected again during this period, the light remains on.
