Hue motion sensor constantly raising Motion Alarm
Yesterday I received the Hue Motion Sensor. I connected it successfully to my Homey via the 'Philips Hue Zigbee' app from HibbiSoft AB. I don't have a Hue bridge.

It seems to detect the darkness in the cabinet correctly.
Also under insights it shows that the alarm never goes off. What do you think? Is this a problem with the Motion Sensor? Or could it also be a problem with Homey / Philips Hue Zigbee?
