I'm not sure if this helps you or not but here goes.
I have Hue and Fibaro Motion Sensors in a bedroom pointed towards the window. It's not used often.
I then use cobras average all app to write the lux level to a virtual lux sensor.
I use the virtual lux sensor for the lux value in my lighting rules.
I have a virtual switch that turns on at Sunset and Off At Sunrise.
This switch then disables the average Lux app when turned on.
This means that if the bedroom light comes on between Sunset and Sunrise it will not affect the virtual lux sensor.
Not sure if this is something you can use but I'm more than happy to post if you wish.

However, if you're handy with a soldering iron (or 4B pencil!) and not afraid to open up the Aqara Motion Sensor, there is "hack" to put it permanently in "test mode", which means it checks for motion every 3-5 seconds & sends lux reports if motion is detected:

Usually Xiaomi motion sensor is detected every two minutes. But with a little work, you can change that time to 5 seconds. A year ago I made my Xiaomi motion sensors to Super motion sensors. Even after a year, Xiaomi motion sensors are working...

I haven't tried this, but the person who "discovered" it says it doesn't seem to majorly impact battery life. Honestly, I think I should have tried doing this ages ago, because it's a total win-win hardware modification.

Just keep in mind: Even with the hardware modification, a lux report is only sent when motion is detected. But with the higher frequency of motion detection, a "correct" lux reading can be obtained after an automation has turned on lights in a room.

Wow @veeceeoh many thanks for that info! It sounds great for turning the sensor into a super sensor - i think I would be doing that as waiting 50 minutes for lux change after motion has stopped and the light is off is a bit too much of a gap.

So simple. I watched that video the first time you posted, but never did the mod for some reason. That's going to be perfect for the front door. Won't matter for me if the battery life is affected because I'm going to convert it to be powered by a 3v supply anyway.

You can do the mod or have someone you know that can solder do it for you. I just did it. Heating the soldering Iron took the longest. I'm just about to test. I'll post pics shortly because I have a few notes for anyone that wants to try this.

Equipment:
You're going to want an iron that doesn't get too hot. Mine is 25W. Too hot and you risk delaminating the traces from the board. It's coated, but can still be damaged if you get it too hot.
You will definitely need a fine tip on your iron. I have a very small chisel tip on my soldering iron and it was almost too big.

If you're young you probably won't have a problem, but I couldn't do this without magnification. I used to work in the print industry so I used a 15X loupe, but a typical handheld magnifying glass is probably enough.

Disassembly:
In the video, he uses an Olfa knife, and that's probably OK if you know exactly where the clips are or you've taken it apart a dozen times like he has. I used a nylon spudger. Handy tool to have around if you don't have any.

Here are the clip locations. Looking at the bottom with the positive battery contact toward you, and the detector facing away from you, one clip is going to be just to the right of the opening where the positive battery contact is. The other two are in the center, on the left and right.

Soldering:
Be careful when soldering the wire, that you don't accidentally bridge TP4 to one of the surface mount components next to it, or TP15 to the paring/reset button. I would NOT suggest using flux remover afterward. It may damage these cheap boards. Just be as quick and careful as you can so you don't get too much flux build-up.

Can I confess something? Quilting the layers of a quilt together is still the part of this whole quilt-making process that intimidates me. And if I ever do quilt the layers myself, I pretty much just stick to straight lines. Anyone else feel intimidated free-motion quilting on their home machines?

Well, we're all in luck today because guest poster Dara Tomasson is a wiz at it and has some great tips and ideas to share! Dara is a quilting guru on both a longarm and her home machine. I was so excited when she offered to write a guest post for my blog share tips and ideas for enhancing your quilting on your own machine.

When I first started quilting I was SO afraid of free motion quilting my own projects. I knew that there were special industrial type machines that did the quilting called long arms. It was so intimidating to try to manage three layers of fabric and batting through the relatively narrow throat of my sewing machine. Making a mistake was petrifying.

Learning a new skill quite often is overwhelming. So instead of me sharing all the details of thread and needle size I just want to challenge you to make a quilt sandwich, put on a darning foot and move the sandwich around under the machine.

Use old sheets or fabric that you no longer want. Cut them up into 10-20 inch squares. Cut the backing fabric 2 inches wider so that your hand has a place to go. The batting is about 1 inch wider than the top. For example, if the top is 20 inches square, then the batting is 21 inches square and the backing is 22 inches square.

Develop muscle memory of quilting designs on paper before going to a quilt sandwich. I like to doodle in a notebook so I can look back at my doodles. I often use past doodles as sources of inspiration. Using a white board and marker can be another great way to develop that coordination and skill, its also eco-friendly!

Study books to learn new techniques. One of the perks about this book is that the sequence of quilting is laid out. I practiced several new-to-me designs from this book on my quilt sandwich and it was so useful to see the method (pathway marked by arrows) the designer used to create their quilting design.

Keep a quilt sandwich by your machine at all times and practice a little on it before working on your sewing project. Not only does this help you find your quilting groove but it allows you the opportunity to check your tension on the front and back before moving on to your quilted project.

Think about what kind of learner you are. Do you learn better if you can see someone creating the design? Or listening to someone explain how the design is created? By understanding how best you learn can help you with your free motion quilting success.

Also, investing in this book, 180 More Doodle Designs and others like it, is another way to build up your personal library so that you can have inspiration and references at your fingertips when practicing on those quilt sandwiches to gain confidence and skills.

I would love to hear from you about your favourite tips and tricks for free motion quilting. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Hop over to my blog (www.stitchedquiltingco.com) or my instagram and see how my desire to quilt my projects 100% by me has turned into a fulfilling creative endeavour that has changed my life for good.

Thanks for sharing your experience. A good rule of thumb is if there are tension problems on the top of the quilt there is a problem under the machine and is there is a problem with the bottom tension there is an issue with the top of the machine.

When troubleshooting I like to use this method: first thread-simply retread your machine, second needle-change the needle (see my guide about the needle size to thread size) and third is the tension dial. Put the tension at O and then trial and error. Do one change at a time. This is the beauty of a quilt sandwich!! Thanks for sharing your concerns. These are totally normal.

Great post and very helpful. My question is also about tension. How can I avoid the "eyelash" thing that happens when I make tighter turns when FMQ? It seems that it's worst if I go too fast... is it related to top tension being too tight or too loose? If I start adjusting tension willy-nilly, my machine just says "Whaaaaa,....?" ?

Great post! And the timing could not be more perfect! As a long time hand piecer and hand quilter, I am thinking that I need to start doing more on my machine...it is a Babylock Presto II that I bought earlier this year. I will most likely continue to do a lot of hand piecing, but I have quite a stack of finished tops, and if I don't start machine quilting them, I fear they will never be finished...and, yes, I am also in that group of quilters who prefer to have my projects 100% done by me!
I will definitely check out the FMQ class, and I will look for the doodling book as well!
Thanks again!

I am so glad that I was able to help you. That is a wonderful machine, it wants to be used!! Just go for it. Practice on a quilt sandwich and work your way up in size and complexity. Quilts are meant to be used!! There is so much love in the world when a quilt is given and loved?

Great tips. I just quilted a charity quilt but as usual, did straight lines. I "ventured out" this time with some of the decorative stitches on my machine. This post has inspired me to venture out into FMQ. And if I like it, I'll get the book! Thanks, Dana & Amy.

Hi Dara, Thanks so much for your lessons & information. I usually struggle with quilting designs so will be getting your book for sure! Can you tell me more about the foot you use on the Juki? I have the same machine but want to get that foot to help me with spacing as you mentioned in your video. Is the foot a universal foot? What is the make/model #? Thank you in advance for your help on this

I am so happy to hear that I have inspired you. There is so much joy in quilting your very own quilts! Learning a new skill is always intimidating, but if you can be consistent with practicing that will pay off in the long run.

Hi Amy and Dara,
Thank you for the great tips and tricks.
I just finished my 4th quilt. The quilt is for my son who just retired from the ARMY. I'm teaching myself using posts like this. I know the quilt is not perfect. My husband tells me nothing homemade is perfect but I'm OCD. I keep telling myself that it's ok and he will love it. I wish I could figure out how to post a pic so you could see it. I am proud of it.
Thanks again for the great information
