The only automation that link to this pir is when there is motion detect while the alarm is on then send me notify and camera feed.
It works normally when I use this pir as sensor not binary_sensor. The matter is pir sensor cannot be seen in homebridge.
Try to change from sensor to binary_sensor. the status show differently on front end. from standby change to clear. from motion detected change nothing still show clear. At the entity of this binary_sensor show off which I assumed if there is motion detected it should be on. but nothing change as well show as off all the time.
I’m a noob, I’ve been following Bruh Automation’s $15 Multisensor guide and as I said in my previous post I cant get my configuration.yaml file to work. When I copy and paste his example into my config Home Assistant won’t start. Below is my config:

The issue occured after the copy/paste, which is lines 23-84 if that helps. Below is the output I get when using the built in configuration validation:
Testing configuration at /config 2018-02-21 20:51:40 ERROR (SyncWorker_0) [homeassistant.util.yaml] while parsing a block mapping in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 1, column 1 expected <block end>, but found '<block sequence start>' in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 69, column 2 2018-02-21 20:51:40 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.bootstrap] Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: while parsing a block mapping in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 1, column 1 expected <block end>, but found '<block sequence start>' in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 69, column 2
By the way. I was wondering if there is any up to date fork of the “official” Git repository? I see a couple of unmerged pull requests including a couple of bugfixes I copy and pasted into my code.
Also some forks did code improved the pir sensor for better results.
Would be nice to get them merged back or get a “new” master branch where all/some improvements are in and get occasional updates when needed.
I just builded my first Multisensor. I had tempreature/humidity and light sensor up without troubles. But I have hard time with the pir/motion sensor and the led.
LED problem:
I don’t get it to light up with the proposed wiring. I see that the command is received by the sensor and set (serial monitor) - so no problem here. Weird thing is when I wire it differently and put one of the R-G-B lines on ground I get this color permanent lightning and when I set a color in home assistant it actually has an impact also changing the led color (even though the color which is wired on ground is “always on”). I’m not sure if I got the wrong LEDs (used the link from bruh to order) and I also tried diffrent ones to be sure it’s not a half-broken one.
Does any one has a clue whats going on here?
PIR-Motion problem:
Even harder. It’s always in stand-by. Just when I wire it off and on I can force a short ‘motion detected’. No idea where to debug because it’s all happening inside the sensor… any ideas here?
I have similar problems, the sketch by BRUH works just fine but I have problems with the LED option in the Shawn Cory sketch, all other sensors work just fine and my sensorname is “sensornode2”.
So, I struggled for weeks with getting intermittent NAN values from my DHT22’s on 6 different Bruh multisensors.
When I built the first one I thought it may have been a hardware issue with the nodemcu board, the DHT sensor or the power supply being used, but after building 6 of these with different brand power supplies, NodeMCU’s, DHT’s, etc. I was getting intermittent NANs on all of them at different times.
The only thing that would reliably fix it was to remove power from the nodemcu and reapply it (a reboot). After that it would tend to work for a while but the NANs would come back. Sometimes, very infrequently, it would fix itself.
I didn’t want to stuff around with other libraries as I am just learning Arduino and didn’t want to introduce a possibly conflicting library as I didn’t know what the impact of that would be or how to undo it if I had issues.
The way I fixed it was to install version 1.1.1 of the library (the version previous to 1.2.0). After recompiling and redeploying the new code to all Bruh sensors, I have not had another NAN reported for a couple of weeks now.
There is a side effect though. The ComputeHeatIndex function within the DHT library doesn’t appear work properly in v1.1.1. It produces obviously incorrect heat index data. When humidity is high, heat index is low and vice versa.
I just ignore the heat index value calculated by the nodemcu, and calculate my own heat index inside of hassio using a value template.
I hope this helps someone who has/is experiencing similar frustrations to me. I almost abandoned the project because of it, but now I am stoked it is working. Wifey is not all that happy about seeing little 3D printed black boxes everywhere that flash red when she walks past them, but that is part of the fun isn’t it? Annoying the missus!
Hi, i have built this sensor and used Bruh his code.
All works except for the light sensor. I use the temt6000 for that but i get no value at all.
I ordered two of them and both don’t give a value.
Do i have to change something to the code?
I also used the example Yaml from Bruh, but i cant find something wrong in there.
