I have Nortek/GoControl Z-Wave & Zigbee USB Adaptor and GoControl Z-Wave PIR Motion Detector - WAPIRZ-1. able to get the adapter to work with HA community help (especially Tinkerer). able to add a few zigbee light. but when I try to add the GoControl Z-Wave PIR Motion Detector - WAPIRZ-1, it seem the add without problem, temperature work, alarm type, level and burglar work fine, i can tell that because each time i open the sensor cover, the burglar status change to 3, i close it it change to 2. except motion. the motion status is always no, even i put the sensor inside the box for day, it still indicate on. after i change the status to off, it will stay off, even i have the sensor in front of me.
below is the 7 entities i have after adding the node:
1.) binary_sensor.linear_wapirz1_motion_sensor_sensor
2.) sensor.linear_wapirz1_motion_sensor_alarm_level
3.) sensor.linear_wapirz1_motion_sensor_alarm_type
4.) sensor.linear_wapirz1_motion_sensor_burglar
5.) sensor.linear_wapirz1_motion_sensor_sourcenodeid
6.) sensor.linear_wapirz1_motion_sensor_temperature
7.) zwave.linear_wapirz1_motion_sensor
I remote and ad the node multiple times, still same result.
at beginning, i thought maybe i bought a defective product, so I ordered another GoControl Z-Wave PIR Motion Detector - WAPIRZ-1, some result, then i thought i bought a defective Nortek/GoControl Z-Wave & Zigbee USB Adaptor. i bought a Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5, Z-Wave Plus USB, still same result.
I disable the zwave from Nortek/GoControl Z-Wave & Zigbee USB Adaptor, and use the the Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5, Z-Wave Plus USB.
Able to add node, every other sensor bsuch as temperature and burglar look fine except the motion. it would change status.
try for weeks, still unable to make the motion to work!!
Is one have any idea what have i did wrong?
Please help. without able to make motion sensor to work, my home automation is half automation… very sad…
after a while, it change to 0 and i move my hand in front, it change to 8 again. great. thanks a lot for your help. how about gocontrol?
but at automation how shall I set the state?
thanks keithh666. you solve my weeks long problem. i will move now to figure out how to set the state and automation. will post again if i have problem. Great HA community. Great help. I think i pick the right platform.
