Hello,

The motion sensor device, in the homey app, the movement icon is now for more than 12 hours flashing red. And the sensor is not working any more!

I have switch off the homey and I have remove the battery in the sensor. But nothing changed. The situation is not the same.

What is the resoan about this and how I can reset this?

Thanks for youe reactions.

    Have you tried taking the battery out for 20 seconds and put it in again?

    Thank you for your answers!

    I'll remove the battery next time longer.
    But by accidentally, I had 3 times pushed the B-button and that was working also!

    But do you know what the reason is that movement icon flashing red for a long time!!

    Reason? Imho: Homey lost the "connection" with the sensor. It happens with my own sensor (since one of the recent Fibaro updates) after every restart of Homey. Only a battery-out-twenty-seconds-wait-battery-in makes the "connection" working again.

    i had it for a long time,after a reboot constantly it started for no reason to flash motion and tamper until i manually made a tamper alarn and motion alarm and then it worked ok
    i moved the position of the sensor lets say a meter closer to homey and since then no problems anymore,so it could be a distance problem,test it out with that

    Thank you for your response,

    The sensor works well again for a few days.
    The distance between the homey and the sensor is about 5 meters, I think that's close enough.

    Same problem here.

    Have you checked in Settings - Z-wave - Stuff for Geeks if the sensor is connected to any other z-wave devices?

    No ....should it? 
    I have a smoke detector from fibaro not that far from it.
    I will check tomorow

    just found this topic .. I have Motion Sensor - FGMS-001 FW: 3.2 .. and sometimes I have looong motion detection that is not true, only triggered it once. When I look at sensor under devices motion alarm is on for a long time. Not always, just as you see two times. Any hints?
