Fibaro Motion Sensor Motion Not Working Properly

Hi,
I’m very new to Home Assistant after having used Openhab for several years so please bear with me! I have an old Fibaro Motion Sensor (FGMS-001) Application Version 2.07 that I’m trying to use with HA. Unfortunately I cannot get the motion sensor to work properly. It behaves differently depending on if I use the built in Z-Wave or Open Z-Wave.

With the built in Z-Wave integration the motion binary sensor doesn’t turn on with motion. Sometimes if I press the button 3 times it will come on and go off after the set delay correctly but without the button it does not come on. I see the following in the logs when it detects motion but the entity never updates:

Interestingly, when it recieves an off report the sensor is 199 rather than 56, could this be anything to do with it?

If I use open z-wave I get the entity updating to on correctly but it immediatly goes back to off, regardless of the sensor delay set on the device.

I hope someone can help as I’m pulling my hair out with this one. It always worked correctly in Openhab so I know the sensor itself is ok.

Thanks

Chris

Any Luck with this. It seems very similar to my problem. All sensory data (lux, temp, tamper) is being received except motion.
