Polling Movement Sensor #148

Closed jimmywyatt closed 6 years ago

Hi, this isn't really an issue, but whats the best way to poll the movement sensor to find out if someone is there? check State.Presence every .5 seconds? is there a push event of any sort?

The Philips Hue Bridge does not support push events through the public developer api. So polling is currently your best option.

Thanks, is that likely to drain the sensors battery or, i suppose you're only polling the hub which will only be updated when the sensor changes.
