Hi, is there somebody to tell how the tradfri motion sensor can be used to detect motion? Currently it shows only the battery level. Thx in advance

The motion sensors are linked to a bulb instead of the hub. Due to this configuration it HA cannot see the motion information. Here is a hack to pull the info. [image] Hack: IKEA Trådfri Motion Sensor for presence control Share your Projects! BACKGROUND The IKEA Trådfr…

Is the status of this still the same? I can only detect motion with the sensor if I couple it to a light first?

If you use the Tradfri gateway, yes. That is how Ikea designed it. If you use a universal zigbee coordinator (zigbee2mqtt, deconz, ZHA supported dongle) : No. It works fine without being coupled to a light.

Thanks. I hope they are working to improve it. For example the Ikea power outlet works well as an independent unit, I wish the motion sensor was like that.

After pairing it to my cc2531 Tradfri motion sensor works perfectly here on MQTT/HA: zigbee2mqtt:info 2020-02-27 16:39:08: MQTT publish: topic ‘zigbee2mqtt/0x680ae2fffe3a723a’, payload ‘{“occupancy”:true,“linkquality”:49,“requested_brightness_level”:76,“requested_brightness_percent”:30,“battery”:7…

they work perfect with deconz. try to listen to events in dev tools. thats the way switches work with deconz

Hi, i have the latest version of the ikea motion sensor. If i connect the sensor within phoscon directly with a bulb it works fine. Also in the automation “wizard” within home assistant i see the trigger “started detecting motion” for this device. But it triggers nothing. Also when i listen to decon…

There’s a solution to use it without butchering a bulb or use deconz. Just a normal CC2531 on Home Assistant, with zigbee2mqtt [image] Hack: IKEA Trådfri Motion Sensor for presence control Share your Projects! I have a CC2531, and a Tradfri motion sensor. What I did to …

Thanks for the info everyone here. I was pulling my hair out trying to set up the sensor because it should work the way we’d imagine and not have to be paired to a light or switch. I’ll stop looking now and just put something together with esp home instead!

Did anyone manage to use the luminance sensor in this Ikea Tradfri Motion Sensor? I’ve got it set up to turn on/off the lights with a condition when the sun is below horizon, but I’d prefer to use the luminance sensor in the condition instead…
