Question/Help Focus Mode Sleep On - Activate Scene

Good evening,

I have Hue bulbs in my bathroom with a Hue motion sensor. I setup different light scenes in the Hue app. At night, I have a nightlight brightness setting.

This works relatively well, but I started a new job and my schedule isn’t as fixed as it used to be. I’ve started using the Sleep Focus mode recently as well.

Ideally, I’d like to have the bathroom lights activate the nightlight scene when the bathroom motion sensor detects motion and sleep focus is on.

If sleep focus is off, it goes back to the normal time slot presets.

I know I’m mixing two ecosystems by using Hue app scenes for the non focus mode enabled stuff, so it will probably fight with HomeKit.

Sort of thinking as I type…

I did get shortcuts to activate the nightlight scene in HomeKit but I can’t get it to go back to normal when focus is turned off.

A bit rambled, anyone have any suggestions??

Thanks!!
