Adding the device to Homey worked good. However, make sure you put the Fibaro motion sensor right next to the Homey when adding it (otherwise it most likely fails the device interview).
However, I still have some questions about the device
- What is the effect of the Z-Wave associations settings?
- What is the effect of the Z-Wave wake up settings?
- What is the effect of the Z-wave Configuration settings?
- What is the effect of the polling settings
Furthermore, I noticed that I have 4 variables in Insights. 1 Generic Alarm 2 Luminance 3 Temperature 4 Battery. I still miss the variable motion.
Is it an idea to start a fresh Fibaro motion sensor FGMS-001 owners topic where people can post tips and tricks and that the topic starters summarizes everything in the opening post.
Yes indeed an explanation of those settings would be helpful.
Furthermore, my battery level dropped suddenly to 81% . In insight I have a battery level record of 100% and a minute later a battery level of 81%. Is this just error caused by the settings of the motion sensor which I changed multiple times? Anybody else also saw something like this with their motion sensor?
Just look at at the info panel of the motion sensor in the devices section. When motion is detected the generic alarm and motion sensor icon will flash red.. once the alarm has been cancelled, both return to black.
If I'm correct, Homey will only trigger a flow if Generic alarm state will change from rest to alarm. A second motion will extend the alarm, but not trigger a flow generic alarm state is already in alarm stat.
I see that some could make it work. Could you please let us know how? Maybe some step/step list, screenshot would be helpful.
Thanks.
My question for the moment is where I can find more details about the five "associations" in Homey. See the screendump. Who knows more?
Many tnx in advance!
See Fibaro Motion Sensor v3.2 manual @ ;;http://manuals.fibaro.com/motion-sensor/
Note for v2.7 (or below)... use the corresponding manual (they ARE different)
This site also contains the basic operating instructions (including movies) of this sensor
With these groups it should (no experience yet) be possible to link a specific function of the sensor (e.g. motion) directly to another Z-wave node (without main controller in between)... e.g. to switch on a lamp for security purposes.
The different types of association groups are explained on the same page.
With the 89 parameters, you can control the reaction of the motion sensor... e.g. the "alarm cancellation delay", parameter 6 which is the time after a motion has been detected before the alarm is reset (default 30 sec)...
If you would connect a lamp directly to the motion sensor (via the association groups), you can control with this parameter the time the lamp will remain on...
Tnx again!
Adding went smoothly. » I restarted the sensor. » Alert, temp, lux appeared the insight page. » restarted homey » battery has appeared in the insight page.
And here I am stuck. The values are not updated I have only the values what the sensor has sent after the pairing. There is no communication between the sensor and homey as visibly the LED settings are still the default. Here are my settings:
I have tried these: Restart chip, reset sensor, wake up, restart homey, wipe homey. No luck.
Distance between the devices are 50 cm. Has tried with two different sensor both v3.2.
WHAT am I missing?
Please help.
1. Change the wake up interval to 1800
2. Throw away all data so the device will be in the standard setting
3. Make the polling interval empty, so not 1
4. Uncheck the secure point
To let these settings start immediately take the device close to Homey and push once at the inside button.
If and when you get the first expected outcome you could start changing the data as you wish.
Have you managed to uncheck the secure point?
And my advise is to put value 1 at group 1 under associations, the others empty if there is no secondary relation with other devices. See also the complete manual for v3.2 at fibaro.com.
