I have an automation that turns lights on at night when motion is detected in an area. That automation works fine. I also have an automation that turns those same lights off when no movement is detected. That one does not work - unless I open the home app, and then it suddenly works. The script is posted below.
The motion detector is an Aqara Presence Sensor FP2. Is there a reason the lack of motion doesn't trigger when the Home app is not active?
