Example 1 (Run a sensor to check motion every second):
This example creates and assigns a local variable, SensorName, with Text as data type, that identifies the motion sensor. If the motion sensor is activated, it runs a continuous loop that retrieves the state of the sensor every 1000 milliseconds. A voice message is then sent in Speech Output and turns on the hue light if a motion is detected by the sensor.
