Hmm , still don’t get it…
Setting the state to “off” that’s indeed rest command, not hardware… It’s just setting a state … No big deal here…
So when state is off… The new “motion detected” is coming from the xiaomi, to deconz to, home assistant setting the binary state to “on” again… So in my opinion that’s the deconz hardware that’s sending the new event… So that’s hardware (conbee) related?
Or am I wrong?
Think you are wrong. I tried to see the zigbee2mqtt logs to identify the sensor activity. When automation from homeassistant is sent to force “off state”, no logs can be seen in zigbe2mqtt.
Besides, the author said that this code worked with conbee and was not hardware related…
Hmm, but the motion should come from somewhere… Normally it can only be triggered by an event from the hardware…
Ok need to check again … I used another command to set the state to off, didn’t use that same rest command. … I use a curl
But if I used my command, the state was also to off…
But I was only be able to send a new motion after 40 seconds , not after 6…
If I could use 6 , then this is a huge improvement!!
I can trigger motion again after 6 seconds. I used rest_command like it was in github code. I was wondering about the state, because after 6 seconds the motion is not “clear” but is “offline” (direct translate). But works like a charm.
ok, can you share that rest command again, video is offline, i created below, allthough dont remember anymore exactlu
i tried below, but get invalid authentication error
rest_command:

There it is:

You have authentication problem. First I had the same. You need to write “Bearer” before the code of token
yeah, i noticed , i was already changing 
ok, now it works, it was indeed the word “Bearer”
but need to be home to test it offcourse
allthough i think my end result stays the same
if i change with a rest command or a curl, state is in both cases off anyway
this is also correct , right? my current automation
- alias: Motion WC Onder On
initial_state: 'on'
trigger:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.xiaomi_sensor_1
platform: state
from: 'off'
to: 'on'
action:
- service: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.wc
- delay: '00:00:6'
- service: rest_command.wc_onder_off
- alias: Motion WC Onder Off
initial_state: 'on'
trigger:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.xiaomi_sensor_1
platform: state
from: 'on'
to: 'off'
for:
seconds: 60
action:
- service: light.turn_off
entity_id: light.wc
No. You need to have an automation to send off state after X seconds. After that you can do another automation to turn on lights.
See the automation of an example:
- id: '1582110183955'
alias: Teste
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.movimento
to: 'on'
condition: []
action:
- delay: '00:00:06'
- service: rest_command.testesensor
After that I would do 2 automations, one to turn on light after sensor ON, and another to turn off light when sensor OFF for x seconds
yes, thats what i do
in my first automation, when motion is detected , so state from off to on, then i turn on the light, and i turn off the binary sensor to off after 6 sec
my second automation i turn my light off, when motion sensor goes to off, but with a delay of 60 secs offcourse … otherwise my light would go already off after 6 seconds
so in my opinion thats a good automation? it should work like that normally
Hi everyone,
That’s my video featured here. I took it down after a day as it doesn’t work as well as I’d hoped. 
While the rest_command and automation part is good - I’ve since found it only works for a short time. 
Sorry for the confusion
That’s a real bummer… But what’s the issue then? Why should it not work more then a day?
No, I took the video down after a day LOL
The issue is that when you first start or pair a sensor it does in-fact re-trigger after 5-6 seconds but, then reverts back to 1 min after about 30 minutes… I didn’t test it for long enough.
So, unless there’s a way to re-pair the sensors (every 20-30 minutes) in software, I can’t see a ‘fix’ coming soon.
Ahhh, that’s why it only worked for me, my new motion was only triggered again after 60 seconds… Even when I put the state to off…
But I thinks the code is still an improvement, because I think the default timeout in deconz is 120 sec
But in your video you didn’t do a pairing process
Aww thanks… At least I did post something useful after-all - My API calling code LOL
Pairing was done off-camera, I didn’t realise it was necessary at the time 
In my next video, that’ll be up later today, I show how to use a SONOFF Basic to control an ordinary home light fitting, all while keeping the wall switch working as normal.
With your motion sensor and an automation (off an off timer) you’ll be able to use that for your bathroom light and still be able to turn off the light when you leave.
ok, thnx for the input
