After configuration press the little play button on the top right.
To return to the configuration screen pull down or up from the screen border and press back.
To close the background service swipe out the app from the Android task manager.

The motion sensor only sends a message on motion but doesn't reset. The motion sensor state can be reset with an automation. Since Home-Assistant doesn't provide a service to set a sensor state we use an REST API call.
