# knxUltimateHueMotion Node – Tutorial Outline ## 1. Intro (0:00) - "Welcome back! We’re integrating Hue motion sensors with KNX using the `knxUltimateHueMotion` node." - "Great for presence-driven lighting, security alerts, or HVAC control." ## 2. Prerequisites (0:20) - Optional `knxUltimate-config` gateway for CSV autocomplete. - Required `hue-config` bridge credentials. - Hue motion sensor paired with the bridge." ## 3. Inputs & Outputs (0:40) - Inputs: none (Hue events feed the node). - Output: single boolean payload representing motion detection state." ## 4. KNX Mapping (1:00) - Select the KNX group address (usually `1.004` for movement). Autocomplete filters to `1.xxx` DPTs. - Name the GA for clarity using ETS metadata. - Pick the target DPT from the list of `1.xx` boolean datapoints." ## 5. Hue Device Selection (1:35) - Type the sensor name; autocomplete lists `rtype=motion` resources. - Selected ID is stored so the node subscribes to the correct device." ## 6. Behaviour Options (1:55) - **Node PINs**: toggle the behaviour tab to hide/show the output pin depending on whether you want to wire the message stream." - Tip: even with pins hidden the node still emits messages for downstream `link` nodes." ## 7. Runtime Behaviour (2:15) - Hue motion events are converted into `true/false` payloads. - Use with `knxUltimate` writer nodes to update KNX actuators or logic." ## 8. Best Practices (2:35) - Add a debounce function if your KNX logic requires hold/release delays. - Combine with `knxUltimateHueLightSensor` for ambient light compensation." - Use names that include location (“Hallway Motion”) for easier debugging." ## 9. Demo Ideas (3:00) - Turn on corridor lights when motion is detected after sunset. - Feed a KNX security input to log unexpected movement." ## 10. Wrap-Up & CTA (3:25) - "We connected the Hue bridge, mapped the GA, and discussed best practices for motion-triggered flows." - "Subscribe for more Hue sensor integrations and leave your automation examples below!"
