IKEA VALLHORN motion sensor (ZHA)

I’ve just bought one and seeing the same with occupancy permanently detected.
Battery only shows 48% so i’m recharging them and will see if that helps

I wonder if that helps. I’m now 3 days further without any improvement. My battery percentage started at 85 percent and is now at 82 percent. I have tried a few (almost empty) alkaline batteries in between but that makes no difference either.

so it was worse with full batteries (LADDA 900) although I have read that it is finicky about the batteries.

I also tried pairing directly to a TRÅDFRI bulb and the light stayed on so I’m thinking that mine is possibly faulty? Will return and try another to see if it is the same.

Did you read the info about the batteries (the comments here and on the IKEA product page)?

@drdodge, I’ve tried that as well and the light stayed on.

Yes, that’s why I bought the sensor with those (LADDA 750) batteries. When that still didn’t work after about an hour, I tried my other batteries (LADDA 900). That didn’t make any difference. Then I tried again with used alkaline batteries, but that didn’t make any difference either.

I put the original batteries back and left the sensor on, and now another day has passed, but nothing has improved. I think I’ll go back to the store next week
