I don’t know what is Logbook.
I would like to see your logger log.
I have some doubts about your wiring as well, because if you previously had your sensor configured pulldown: true, there is no way you could get trigger from your sensor while Com is connected to esp32 GND.
Is your wiring like this ? (the count of sensors is not important)
Yes, that is exactly how it is wired and was for the previous Arduino and Homevision before that.
All PIRs share the same 12V PSU, all share a common ground, only the input of each changes to a seperate pin/terminal.
I am not yet familiar with HA at all, I am learning but it’s a steep curve with a lot going on as I migrate but so long as I get pointed in the right direction, I’ll find stuff. In the core logs I spotted this reported:
Logger: aioesphomeapi.connection
Source: runner.py:189
First occurred: 14:37:25 (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 14:37:25
esphome-web-8733d8 @ 192.168.2.3: Connection error occurred: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer
I don’t know where else to look for more info.
So you understand that with pulldown: true the pin is always LOW. Triggered or not. So it’s impossible you got triggers from that pin…
I can only report what I see. Even if I don’t completey understand it.
With the code set as above I have a common to ground and the input for the PIR on GPIO 25, I just went and checked that agin, just to be sure and that is exactly how it is wired.
What I don’t get is why it’d see multipe instances then just stop responding.
You need to observe your runtime log. Do you have Esphome dashboard?
No, I don’t seem to only what comes out the box from ESPHome and HA, do you man this:
I think I found it and the log there says this:

what is that??
You should have:

I can’t find that in the yaml at all, the complete thing is below. I’ll change the other parts of it now.

Sorry, but I hope this helps as I tried this:
binary_sensor:
- platform: gpio

And I get…

it’s not correct yaml…
Copy this:
binary_sensor:
- platform: gpio
pin:
number: 25
mode:
input: true
pullup: true

device_class: motion
And don’t use Gpio12, it’s strapping pin.
Okay.
So now the yaml reads:
binary_sensor:

device_class: motion

And when tested I get this which, to me looks good but as I said, I am no expert with no experience with this stuff so can’t say for sure:

The only problem is, i doesn’t seem to register movement.
You still don’t have runtime log presenting what’s going on while you trigger motion.
Also, for debugging your problem, I suggest to reduce your setup to minimum, both hardware and code. Just Esp and one sensor, no weird configurations.
Sorry, I don’t know where to find the runtime log.

Using that one pin, pin 25, I’m getting nothing at all reported that I can see. I went into the logs in settings but I couldn’t see anythign relating to ESPHome bar the compiler stuff.
Well that is not what you said:
Have you actually checked this is the actual wiring, GND (or 5V), and is it common?
Could it perhaps be 12V, which the ESP will not like at all?
That’s not so bad. It was worst when you saw something you shouldn’t see.
Just find your log… You don’t have screen like I posted #31?
Maybe @tom_l knows better your setup and can give instructions to get there…
Nope. I am confused as all heck by conflicting statements.
