Hi everyone, I’m reaching out regarding an issue I’ve been experiencing with my Fibaro Motion Sensor (FGMS0001). Despite no actual motion being detected, the sensor keeps resetting the timer that controls my living room lights. This has been quite frustrating and has been happening on and off since I upgraded to OpenHAB 2.4.0.
I’ve tried troubleshooting the problem by checking the Z-Wave binding and ensuring all other Z-Wave devices are functioning correctly. The sensor has a fresh battery, and it’s positioned about a meter away from an Aeon Plug-in Power Point socket, so there shouldn’t be any reception issues. The rule I’ve set up works for many other users without any problems, which makes me think it might be a specific issue with the Fibaro sensor or the Z-Wave binding.
Here’s a snippet of the rule I’m using:
rule
rule “FibaroEye1 motion detection turns ON Living Room Lights when Lux is less than 20, with a 2 Minute Inactivity Timer”
when
Item FibaroEye1Alarm changed to ON
then
if (FibaroEye1Lux.state < 20) {
if (Eye1_Timer !== null) {
LivingRoomDim1.sendCommand(“5”)
logInfo(“FibaroEye1Motion”,“Eye1 Timer rescheduled for " + Eye1_TimeOut + " minutes”)
Eye1_Timer.reschedule(now.plusMinutes(Eye1_TimeOut))
} else {
logInfo(“FibaroEye1Motion”, “Eye1 Motion Detected! Turning ON Living Room Lights”)
LivingRoomDim1.sendCommand(“5”)
logInfo(“FibaroEye1Motion”,“Eye1 Timer created with " + Eye1_TimeOut + " minutes”)
Eye1_Timer = createTimer(now.plusMinutes(Eye1_TimeOut))
}
}
end
I’m running OpenHAB 2.4 Snapshot with the 2.4.0 Snapshot Z-Wave Binding and Firmware 3.2 on the motion sensor. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I’m about to consider replacing the sensor if I can’t figure this out. Thanks in advance for your help!
