I need a better vacancy detector

Zoriontsu · May 7, 2024, 3:04am

Good point!
The ones I am using require this:
Quirk: TZE204_sxm7l9xa.TuyaMmwRadarOccupancyVariant2

There may be something wrong with your sensors. When I tested mine it used a few 10s of mA @ 5V. So like 150mW.

They work OOTB with Zigbee@MQtt.

I’ve never seen a battery powered mmwave occupancy sensor, only devices that must be plugged in. It definitely uses more power than a standard PIR. It actively sends out radar pulses, so it makes sense.

fleskefjes · May 7, 2024, 2:40pm

I’m currently testing these out myself, got them yesterday. They are battery powered.

How are those going for you? I bought a number and mine arrived this week.

Using z2m 1.36.1

So far it seems to have got stuck in this state

{
    "battery": 100,
    "fading_time": 30,
    "illuminance_lux": 1188,
    "indicator": "ON",
    "linkquality": 58,
    "motion_state": "large",
    "presence": true,
    "static_detection_distance": 5,
    "static_detection_sensitivity": 6
}

I have a zStack3x0 coordinator with firmware 20220219 (which is probably a bit old).

Not too much use as it is.

~~These have been working well for me (USB-C power not battery):~~

The athom works well https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005772833515.html but isn’t cheap and is USB C powered. That’s why I was hoping the battery powered ZG-204ZM would work better.

fleskefjes · May 9, 2024, 6:37am

Haven’t had time to test much yet, but the one I’ve unpacked is not stuck at least. 20240321 FW on the coordinator.

nickrout · May 9, 2024, 6:40am

Thanks. I suspect then that I need to update the coordinator firmware. Always makes me nervous.

What version of z2m are you on?

fleskefjes · May 9, 2024, 6:41am

1.37.0. Be aware of the 20230507 FW, I kept getting dropped devices on that.

Simone77 · May 9, 2024, 5:09pm

Could you please be so kind to point me to the exact link to download this quirk ?
I cannot find it, the ones I found are exposing only occupancy and the best one occupancy and lumens.

gargamelonly · May 17, 2024, 5:55pm

The ZG-204ZM is a piece of junk.
The PIR has a very short range and the mmWave simply does not work as advertised.

fleskefjes · May 23, 2024, 6:27am

Yeah I’m not too impressed with them either.

Organizer · June 1, 2024, 6:57pm

Same issue currently, strangly mine has/was working fine I think… just had to move it 0.5m and now it just goes to LARGE and is stuck also. Confused… guess you did not solve your issue?

nickrout · June 2, 2024, 10:31pm

No news, but to be fair I haven’t put any further effort in. Its a public holiday here today, so I might get a chance.

Organizer · June 9, 2024, 12:08pm

Man, still got one stuck going into LARGE and stay; no reset or setting change works… and this was simply after moving its position (it worked before that). Any ideas, any troubles on your side?

tinuva · August 14, 2024, 9:16am

I have 2 of the ZG-204ZM sensors. First one works 100% no issues. Second one, stuck in large. Really annoying.

Anyone figured out how to get these unstuck or is it just luck of the draw?

tinuva · August 14, 2024, 9:21am

To answer my own question. Looks like you have to resolder 3 pins in the sensor. Will check it out later when I have time.

And, that only ZG-204ZM has 24GHz sensor. I disassembled both, and both of them have written ZG-204ZS on the PCB, but the 24GHz variant has got extra circuitry attached to it, looks like the 24GHz radar. ---- The PIR Infrared variant (ZG-204ZS) is detected as [ZG-204ZL](https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/ZG-204ZL.html#tuya-zg-204zl) in Zigbee2MQTT. The 24GHz radar variant (ZG-204ZM) is not yet supported by Zigbee2MQTT. ---- Now, the confusing part At first, I tried to base definition on ZL-204ZL - https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee-herdsman-converters/blob/14dffaa06511876d096aa72e669df4b032f4cf33/src/devices/tuya.ts#L5627-L5655, and nothing worked, not even illuminance report. Then, I tried to base definition [ZG-205Z/A (_TZE200_2aaelwxk)](https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee-herdsman-converters/blob/14dffaa06511876d096aa72e669df4b032f4cf33/src/devices/tuya.ts#L5656-L5714), and illuminance and motion state started to work. It works somewhat okay-ish with two obvious caveats: - the presence attribute is always Nulls, even when motion state is large or small, - the motion state is always large (something detected) or small, but based on the definition file, there should be also none and medium values. I am also not sure, if configuration options have any effect. ### External definition ```shell const {} = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/modernExtend'); // Add the lines below const fz = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/converters/fromZigbee'); const tz = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/converters/toZigbee'); const exposes = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/exposes'); const reporting = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/reporting'); const extend = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/extend'); const ota = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/ota'); const tuya = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/tuya'); const {} = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/tuya'); const utils = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/utils'); const globalStore = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/store'); const e = exposes.presets; const ea = exposes.access; const definition = { zigbeeModel: ['TS0601'], model: 'TS0601', vendor: 'TuYa', description: 'Luminance motion sensor', fromZigbee: [tuya.fz.datapoints], toZigbee: [tuya.tz.datapoints], exposes: [ e.presence(), e.illuminance().withUnit('lx'), e.numeric('large_motion_detection_sensitivity', ea.STATE_SET).withValueMin(0).withValueMax(10).withValueStep(1).withUnit('x') .withDescription('Motion detection sensitivity'), e.numeric('large_motion_detection_distance', ea.STATE_SET).withValueMin(0).withValueMax(10).withValueStep(0.01).withUnit('m') .withDescription('Motion detection distance'), e.enum('motion_state', ea.STATE, ['none', 'small', 'medium', 'large']).withDescription('State of the motion'), e.numeric('fading_time', ea.STATE_SET).withValueMin(0).withValueMax(28800).withValueStep(1).withUnit('s') .withDescription('For how much time presence should stay true after detecting it'), e.numeric('medium_motion_detection_distance', ea.STATE_SET).withValueMin(0).withValueMax(6).withValueStep(0.01).withUnit('m') .withDescription('Medium motion detection distance'), e.numeric('medium_motion_detection_sensitivity', ea.STATE_SET).withValueMin(0).withValueMax(10).withValueStep(1).withUnit('x') .withDescription('Medium motion detection sensitivity'), e.binary('indicator', ea.STATE_SET, 'ON', 'OFF').withDescription('LED Indicator'), e.numeric('small_detection_distance', ea.STATE_SET).withValueMin(0).withValueMax(6).withValueStep(0.01).withUnit('m') .withDescription('Small detection distance'), e.numeric('small_detection_sensitivity', ea.STATE_SET).withValueMin(0).withValueMax(10).withValueStep(1).withUnit('x') .withDescription('Small detection sensitivity'), ], meta: { tuyaDatapoints: [ [1, 'presence', tuya.valueConverter.trueFalse1], [2, 'large_motion_detection_sensitivity', tuya.valueConverter.raw], [4, 'large_motion_detection_distance', tuya.valueConverter.divideBy100], [101, 'motion_state', tuya.valueConverterBasic.lookup( {'none': tuya.enum(0), 'large': tuya.enum(1), 'medium': tuya.enum(2), 'small': tuya.enum(3)})], [102, 'fading_time', tuya.valueConverter.raw], [104, 'medium_motion_detection_distance', tuya.valueConverter.divideBy100], [105, 'medium_motion_detection_sensitivity', tuya.valueConverter.raw], [106, 'illuminance', tuya.valueConverter.raw], [107, 'indicator', tuya.valueConverter.onOff], [108, 'small_detection_distance', tuya.valueConverter.divideBy100], [109, 'small_detection_sensitivity', tuya.valueConverter.raw], // Not exposed DPs/untested // [103, 'motion_false_detection', tuya.valueConverter.raw], // [113, 'breathe_false_detection', tuya.valueConverter.raw], // [3, 'mov_minimum_distance', tuya.valueConverter.raw], // [110, 'micro_minimum_distance', tuya.valueConverter.raw], // [111, 'motionless_minimum_distance', tuya.valueConverter.raw], // [112, 'reset_setting', tuya.valueConverter.raw], // [114, 'time', tuya.valueConverter.raw], // [115, 'alarm_time', tuya.valueConverter.raw], // [116, 'alarm_volume', tuya.valueConverterBasic.lookup( // {'low': tuya.enum(0), 'medium': tuya.enum(1), 'high': tuya.enum(2), 'mute': tuya.enum(3)})], // [117, 'working_mode', tuya.valueConverterBasic.lookup( // {'arm': tuya.enum(0), 'off': tuya.enum(1), 'alarm': tuya.enum(2), 'doorbell': tuya.enum(3)})], // [118, 'auto1', tuya.valueConverter.raw], // [119, 'auto2', tuya.valueConverter.raw], // [120, 'auto3', tuya.valueConverter.raw], ], }, }; module.exports = definition; ```

I’ve got the kb5noeto version one. Detection works quite well actually, but it takes forever (sometimes up to 5 minutes) before it clears “Presence” to false" and “Motion state” to none.

tom_l · September 3, 2024, 11:05pm

I’ve given up on these things. Detection is far too sensitive and wide. No matter what I set the detection settings to it sees through my Gyprock walls and triggers on movement in adjacent rooms. I’m going back to PIRs.
