Got security lights up today. here is my dilemma. if I just arm the bridge they seem to work fine detecting motion and serving as light. I want to use them as motion sensor to trigger the camera they are nearest too. when i set the mode up. it works in triggering the camera to record, but the actual light doesn’t come on. so are these things EITHER a light OR sensor? Can’t be both ?

It should be able to be both. Can you screenshot your rule for this light?

Once i added the rule I didn’t realize i had to add the device for motion sensor and AGAIN for the light!
