Anyone have any experience polling temperature from motion sensors to use in a history graph for the dashboard?
Is it stable?
#Philips Hue Motion Sensor polling

I tried this for ~a week with a test install in a docker container and it worked for a couple of days, after which the hue bridge seems to have blocked the HA host.

I'm not really sure you need to poll the temperature sensor. You can just see the entity in the default lovelace card.

You don’t “poll” sensors. When they detect a change in whatever they are monitoring, they report in. You shouldn’t need to do anything on your end to monitor temperature at all.

okay, so the hue bridge becoming completely unavailable probably was not because i had the temp of 3 motion sensors in the dashboard then.
thanks for the input!

Nope. That would be something to do with the Hue bridge. IIRC, it's rate limited to 1 request/sec. So, maybe something flooded it or it's just acting wonky.

it seems to have blocked me permanently for the docker container test install IP, i hope it doesn't do it again.
Maybe the sensors in the dashboard caused too many requests?
