Lux reporting seems to work OK. Battery levels I never really trusted from the beginning, (regardless of versions), as I've never seen anything else than "-" or "100%". I find it hard to believe all my sensors are still at 100% after a few months?
Edit: looking at the logging, I don't see anything related to battery levels. Got 3 PIRs and a door contact sensor. How often will the PIRs report battery level?
In most cases they will send you replacement plugs.
I'm on homey 1.5.3 which has confirmed z-wave issues. Hoping that is the problem with the PIRs since they do work again when placed inside (nice temperature and closer to homey). I put the 3rd PIR in the carport and this one works fine since about 1 month.
Waiting for a new VERY STABLE z-wave release is probably the way to go...
Fingers crossed they sort out on the next release!
I do regular see the PIR led flahing because it is seeing a movement, but Homey is not picking that up as a trigger.
If i go to the devices in homey to the PIR the movement symbol is still flashing at that time..
Only if the movement alarm signal is not flashing and the PIR picking up a movement is creating a trigger.
I guesh that time 1 (8 sec) means the time the PIR is not picking up any signal.
and time 2 (15 sec) is the time where after a movement is detected giving a new trigger to Homey.
But will time 2 be resetted by eache time a movement is detected after 8 sec and less then 15 sec. So in Theory it can happen that if the PIR triggers every time after 8 sec and before 15 sec, never gives a trigger to Homey again?
Am I right?
So if I want every movement seen by the PIR givingHomey A trigger, I need to make the time 1 and 2 equal?
If you go to the "i" next to the line you wil see what its means
"bewegings detectie aan" is for group 2 wich if i understand it the right way is only importent when you using direct assosation with another device directly to your sensor (so not homey between")
The pir sees movement, but wil not respond on it because your 8 sec blind time
I checked it now severall times and changed timing. Homey only triggers again after the PIR is not flashing anymore in the devices part of the Homey desktop. And that is after time 2.
Thanks. That helps. Now I know how to do the settings
I'm planning to move from domoticz to homey (already have one). I have lot of zwave sensors from coolcam 20+ and fibaro 15+ does it works well together on homey?
And the main question is that i don't see any temperature reading from my coolcam PIR sensors. I read here that there is no temperature sensor inside pir sensor but i have 6 PIR sensors and all of them have temperature in domoticz also see link to coolcam store on aliexpress:

That said, i'm not even getting battery at the moment and occasionally lose light level (holding out on next homey update to fix that...)
See screenshot from working setup in domoticz:
And:
in the first screenshot you can see 7 devices reported from pir sensor to openzwave (part of domoticz) and so all of 6 have temperature value
It is just dark the room <span></span>
Here is screenshot from other room:
