Why do Philips Hue sensor values differ in HomeKit?

iOS 18.4 and Philips Hue up to date and also EVE is up to date


Trying to make a rule that arranges action based on the light intensity measured by a Philips Hue motion device that surprisingly also contains 2 other sensors (light and temperature).


In HomeKit itself the odd thing is that the rule with value ‘lower than’ offers a default value of ‘5’. If I want to change this value to another value, 10 and 20 are the next available values, only 20 (and higher) are accepted. I can’t even return to the default value.


In the Philips Hue app everything is okay. It knows that rules are administrated by the HomeKit app.


In the EVE app however, I am offered all values starting from ‘1’. So not only 5, 10, 20, and so on. Unfortunately these value are not synchronized to the HomeKit app.


Seems to be some programming issues. So I will have to wait for next versions of iOS and/or HomeKit?
