Motion detection from Aeotec multisensor stopped working

Hi All,

I have two Aeotec multisensors in my setup, both of which have no longer have the motion sensor available in home assistant and I have no clue why. Hope someone is able to help.

What I know:
It was working on 0.87.1 last about a week ago for sure. I have since upgraded to 0.88 and back to 0.87.1 but the sensors have not come back.

Other sensors in home assistant, coming frmo the same device (such as temperature and humitidy) are working fine.

No errors in the home assistant log when restarting an zwave is setting up:

And when checking the OZWLog (from home assistant), I still see stuff in the log when I trip the motion sensor:

So, my conclusions so far:

  • The hardware is still working fine
  • The zwave network is still picking up the sensor and reporting it to the NUC.
  • Does not seem related to upgrading home assistant

But, I have no clue how to get those sensors back in home assistant or what may have caused them to be lost in the first place?

Anybody able to chime in?

And let’s shame myself publicly. I have tried to figure this out for a few days now… just figured it out: overenthousiastic use of wildcards when doing customizations to hide some unused stuff…

Phew! You had me worried there! :smile: Glad you worked it out!!
