Hello everyone, I’ve been experiencing some trouble with my Fibaro motion sensors not displaying lux values properly. Since updating to the new app, I noticed that while motion and temperature readings were consistent, the lux values were missing from the logs and the device status remained ‘unknown’. This was quite puzzling as the devices were functioning correctly in other aspects.
After some research and trial and error, I discovered that the issue might be related to how the device was configured within the OpenHAB setup. I decided to revisit the device configuration and ensure all necessary channels were properly set up. Rebooting the system and cross-verifying the device status in the logs helped me identify that the lux values were indeed being captured but weren’t being displayed correctly in the UI.
To resolve this, I adjusted the item configuration in my items.cfg file to explicitly include the lux channel. Additionally, I found that clearing the cache and re-indexing the device data helped restore proper functionality. Now, the lux values are updating as expected, and the device status is accurate.
This experience taught me the importance of thorough device configuration and the value of reviewing logs for hidden insights. If anyone else is facing similar issues, I’d recommend checking your device bindings, ensuring all necessary channels are included, and verifying the data flow in your logs. Happy troubleshooting!
