TL;DR new sensors seem to have a 1 min reset period but still requires HA+ZHA state resets.
I’m unsure if Aqara has new hardware or firmware but 4 new sensors I recently received from Aliexpress seem to have a 1 min reset, as opposed to 2 min or 5 min reported earlier.
I applied both the service: python_script.set_state and service: zha.set_zigbee_cluster_attribute in automations as described in the thread above to reset the sensor state in HA and in ZHA after 5s.
All sensors are clearing in HA in 5s, as expected, but surprisingly the sensors are able to retrigger in just 1 min without the hardware hack. I’ve confirmed these are not false-triggers due to hardware still being in the “on” state by using a box to control true/false triggers.
At least for my use cases, 1 min is an acceptable reset period and I’m happy to not have to attempt hardware hacks.
