Motion Detection

Configuration
1

Hi All,

Does anyone know how I can add a motion detection yes/no on a tile?

I just want to be able to tell if there is motion in a certain room so later I can automate it more.

I am using the Aeotec multi sensor

I have customized it like so:

binary_sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_sensor_2: friendly_name: Bathroom Sensor

I thought i could just put sensor.bathroom_sensor but this doesn’t work

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Friendly name is just the display name of the sensor. Your sensor name is still “binary_sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_sensor_2” when your using it in groups or automations. You should see it at that name listed in your states panel.

Cheer’s buddy this is the case. Is there a way to change it though so rather than binary_sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_sensor_2 i could call on say sensor.bathroom_sensor rather than using the whole name?

I am also trying to get a ui state to say if motion is actually detected in that room but cant work that out at all.

Cheers

I don’t know about renaming it at the ZWave level, but you could create a templated sensor and call that instead.

You can rename z-wave devices using open-zwave-control-panel.

Make sure Hass is stopped when using OZWCP, also after renaming, you may have to restart Hass a few times for it to pick up the name change.
