Migrating SmartThings Motion Sensor

Configuration Zigbee
1

I’ve been using SmartThings for some years, and recently started moving to Home Assistant.
I’ve used the SmartThings integration, and everything has worked fine, except that I’m still dependent on a round trip to the internet to get the statuses into Home Assistant, so I’m trying to pair the devices directly to Home Assistant.

I have SmartThings Motion Sensors v1, which have connected perfectly. They show up as CentralLite 3325-S
I also have SmartThings Motion Sensors v2 , which connect.They show up as SmartThings motionv4. The temperature and battery level appear to be fine, but the motion sensor shows up as a simple binary switch, not a motion sensor. It does appear to be responding correctly, but is just sitting in the wrong domain.

How do I convince Home Assistant that it’s really a motion sensor?

Answering my own question: use a customization to set the device class to motion:

  customize:
    binary_sensor.zigbee_bathroom_motion_ias_zone:
      device_class: "motion"

I’d still like to know how to arrange this directly from ZHA, without needing the customization. But it’ll do.

I have the same issue on 12.5 build, 12.6 build appear to be fine. I don’t have to do manual change using customize.yaml now.

FYI, i had to delete/ add 5 times for all entities to work.

Hi
I’m totally brand new to HA and I have a first gen Samsung smartthings sensor.
I’ve managed to get the sensor added via zigbee but I can’t seem to get it working.

It only says motion detected all the time and I’m a bit stumped.
Any pointers or steel by step instructions?
Many thanks

Old thread, but I’m digging up old hardware after moving over to HA.

My sts-irm-250 added just fine as-is under ZHA and I noticed the ‘iaszone’, but it Detected (motion) and Cleared (motion) just fine so all looked well. …except the motion continued to falsely detect and clear motion. I see the logs where this pattern continues through the night when the house is asleep. Naturally it will burn through a new battery in 2-3 days.

I tried the customization.yaml as @wimble mentioned, but no difference at all in experience. Anyone else have similar experiences with this old school motion detector?

ZHA reads mine as motion 5:
