I have just incorporated 3 aeotec multisensors (gen5) which have given a bunch of sensors in hass that I don’t understand and I cant find any documentation to explain what they are:
what would ‘alarm level’, ‘alarm type’ and burglar’ relate to?
I already have the motion sensor set to binary report and that works perfectly:
I have never seen the above unknown 3 change at all…
I haven’t fully figured it out myself, but they in part relate to the sensors being physically moved.
If you watch those sensor values whilst you shake or tap the sensor they will change.
Those sensors have some tamper protection.
I will have to give that a try but it seems strange because the gen 5 version doesn’t have vibration monitoring like the gen 6.
ah, sorry, i thought mine were gen 5, but i just checked and they are gen 6.
on mine the burglar is normally 0, 8 if motion 3 if vibration.
but i just tried one and i cant get the other two (alarm level and alarm type) to show anything other than 0.
I think alarm type and alarm level are for the tamper reporting. Try opening the case and see if the value changes. Also when added did you do a secure include or a normal include?
I did a normal include
You can safely ignore _alarm_type and _alarm_level (and _sourcenodeid).
_burglar is for the motion sensor.
You’ll find more about these in the documentation.
