Fibaro Motion Sensor
I have installed a Fibaro Motion Sensor. Temperature changes seem to be registered, but luminance changes are only sent when the change is more than 200lx ( that's the default setting ) . Parameter 42 states that it will send a report every 900 seconds, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
How can I alter the configuration parameters via Homey ? Sending new parameters via a flow (and then testing) doesn't get a green 'checked' mark. I am new to Z-wave, so I might not understand the details of Z-wave parameters and protocols.
Is there a timeline on the motion sensing to be implemented?

But it will not update immediately, your sensor needs to wake up for that. By default it wakes every 7200 seconds.
You can force it by pushing the button inside the sensor 3 times.
(new to Z-wave, so apologies if I make Z-tupid statements ;-) )
You only need an association on group 3. After pressing save you'll have to wait for the device to wake up or manually wake the device up.
For parameters, I have configured "42,2,120;64,2,120" (temperature and luminance reports every two minutes), but this doesn't seem to work. I get a report most of the times when the defaults are met (e.g. lumen change > 200 ) , but not every 120 seconds. I also get updates every two hours, which is the wake-up interval. I've woken up the sensor manually and also waited a couple of update wake-up intervals.
Any ideas?
In Homey Insights, the temperature is rounded up/down to a full integer, not the nn.X Celcius reported in the motion sensor itself.
Is there another way to see if the reports are being sent as configured?
Right now, I can only see that you can start a flow if the lx has changed, and not if it drops below a certain amount.

The other thing I did is lettinghomey to tell the temperature when this flow triggers. I did the following;
Say something: The temperature is #temp degrees. Homey speaks but the numbers are really of. Like 0.6 degrees when it's 22,4. Thought it might could be a Fahrenheit or some conversion but it isn't.
I also see that my sensor is 2.2 degrees above my honeywell. I tried to correct this in the settings but that also doesn't seem to work..
Can u show us a screenshot of the flow u made for this?
Did u wake up the sensor BEFORE applying the new settings?
I did not wake up the sensor before no, I just let it sit over night so it would wake up automaticly.
You have to add one of your lights wich turns on from your scene in the And column. Like this:
IF Motion AND LUX is below 3 AND time is between ....-..... AND Hue Light is off( one light from your Yelo scene) THEN set scene Yello/ Say something 2x
Now the flow only triggers once. Only when one light from your Yello scene is is OFF
When one light is turned on the flow doesn't trigger
On what level did you set the illumination threshold? ~50 Lux?
Side note: It is becoming spring.. so light intensity will increase..
