Many thanks to everyone commented in this thread – I found it the most informative. Just wanted to put two links to another threads which are related:
- deCONZ IKEA motion sensor state change not detected about how motion sensor actually worked with help of deCONZ.
- Hack: IKEA Trådfri Motion Sensor for presence control explains how to turn IKEA motion sensor to a bulb so that one can integrate it into HASS directly.
As I have a similar difficulty (use motion sensor in HASS scenarios) I have now a dilemma with which I ask the community to help me with (I am newbie in home automation):
- Return IKEA hub (costs €32) and buy ConBee USB Gateway (€33.57), then setup HASS + deCONZ on Linux server
- Return IKEA hub and buy Raspberry Pi 3 Starter Kit ($41.60) + RaspBee (€29.37), then setup HASS + deCONZ on RaspBee platform
- Don’t return IKEA hub but find a sensor that can be wired with it (Xiaomi motion sensor?)
- Don’t return IKEA hub and wait that probably IKEA will fix/improve the sensor’s firmware so that it reports its status to hub (and hence can be integrated into HASS via IKEA hub).
What would you suggest? Many thanks for your opinion.
