1) Give a description of the problem
When hue Motion sensor a night detects motion it turns on to the desired color and level (5%). Couple of seconds later it turns to 42%, then back and so on.
2) What is the expected behavior?
When motion is detected, bulb should go to 5% and stay there
I have attached snapshot, sorry for that.
This may not be the right place to ask. Please let me know if this is the case.
You need to post a green snapshot of your piston for us to see what might be going wrong.
There is no reference to 42% in this piston. I suspect you have some other (old) automation that is still in use… (whenever possible, I try to use webCoRE for all of my logic)
I agree and that is why I am wondering. There are no other automations running as I too, try to put everything in Webcore.
I might switch sensors and the corresponding lights back to Hue as it is working very slow and with popcorn effect in webcore.
Thanks for your reply though.
If you log into the IDE, you can go to:
My Devices > Offending device > List Events
This will show you a timeline, and usually what is causing your 42% to occur,
This is where it changes and I do not see anything odd (below is an example when it does the right thing):

That is not the location I was referring to…
If you log into the IDE, and then click on:
My Devices > Offending device > List Events
You should see a long grid list showing all events for that device.
(with the most recent at the top)
The time stamps are in the left column, and the rest looks something like this:
Using my example above, the “Set level” command was sent by my piston titled “My Morning”. (Both of those lines are within one second of each other)
You can scroll back days with this method, but you really want to find the time where it acted up. (otherwise, everything will look normal)
I was afraid of that… although it would be worth checking a few additional lines above your last image. In the past, I have seen overlapping if the network is being spammed
