I have repeated problems with my Eve Motion sensors running under Matter, and I’d appreciate any advice.
The latest problem is a sensor that is not marked as unavailable in HASS, but will not detect occupancy. It works fine in Apple Home and in the Eve app, and I can ping it from HASS and even make use of the Identify action to make it blink from HASS. At some random point it comes back and seems to function ok, but then drops occupancy detection again. It’s been rock solid for over a year until about 3 days ago, when this trouble with occupancy detection started.
This kind of thing has happened to two other Eve motion sensors, one of which I describe below. I’m using HomePod minis for my primary Thread network, and it seems to be ok. Matter logs don’t have anything about the sensor.
Another Eve Motion sensor has stopped completely. It is on node 15, and the Matter server logs do have the following:

Again, that sensor is functional in Apple Home and Eve, with 45% battery level.
Below is my system info. Thanks in advance for any suggestions on how to wake up these lazy sensors.
