Yeah but they're bayonet fitting and I've replaced all my lamps with E27!

As can be seen on my set up pic, Bright and Nightlight are both scenes
His complaint seems to be that he can't control individual bulbs, so just create a scene using the individual bulb and set the sensor to use that scene? Unless he's trying to use his motion sensor to control multiple lights around the house which is probably a unusual use case scenario. Edited by Oakey on Monday 21st November 11:44
A sensor can control upto 3 rooms, so a work around could be to make each light in a room a separate room itself, then it can set each one to a different scene.
Anothe option would be automation via the Apple home app.
For example, in our lounge if I turn on the light at the side of the room near the to, the strip light behind the TVs will go on or off accordingly too.
I have set everything up with hue app, but for day to day use we use the home app.
We also have other situations set up with that too, such as the outside light coming on at dusk. This obviously varies depending on the time of year, so by taking the dusk time from local settings on home, it never has to be adjusted

Kitchen has two light sources, different colours. Yes, I have no taste.
If I tell Alexa to turn that room on or off or up or down, the colour difference is preserved.
If I connect the motion sensor to this room, the colour difference is overruled and both are a single shade.
That's the problem...
I think I'll just move it to the stair landing. Seems to be what is made for.

Create a scene with those two colours. Set that scene for the motion sensor. What am I missing? If I tell Alexa to turn that room on or off or up or down, the colour difference is preserved.

Funnily enough, I didn't write the post specifically for you - but you're welcome anyway...
It was meant tongue in cheek

White ambience b22 starter kit for £87 on amazon at the moment. Shame it's not the screw fit bulbs.
How safe are the bayonet to screw adapters?
Just looking at that offer. Ideally for the existing lamps we have in the lounge we need one of each fitting type.How safe are the bayonet to screw adapters?
What's Amazon's track record on hue offers? Do they tend to offer the 2nd bulb type on a different day?

I' think I'm going to go for it. It's as cheap as I've seen the starter kit. What's Amazon's track record on hue offers? Do they tend to offer the 2nd bulb type on a different day?
