MUE4094RT Philips Xiaomi Motion Sensor

ESPHome
#1

I’m having trouble getting this to work. I have two and ESPhome is not detecting them. Any idea how to get them to work? I’m pretty sure I have the correct mac addresses because I use bluetooth sniffer and able to detect mac address with -30 RSSI.

I’m using ESP32 and my other sensors (temp and humidity) work fine without any problem.

Without your esphome yaml or your esphome logs, it is hard (impossible?) to say.

[D][esp32_ble_tracker:565]: Address Type: RANDOMe

That’s the only significant log I see related to the device. It’s detecting it as a ble device, but not as a sensor.

Anyone has success on this night light?

#11

The sample code in the docs has the night light’s mac address in quotes "mac address"

#12

I tried both, unfortunately still not working.

In the documentation, the sensor: section is blank, right?

#13

yes it is blank. I suggest you post your full esphome log, perhaps to pastebin.

Hi @nickrout, there’s really nothing glaring in the log. I think the ESPHOME support for this device needs improvement, unfortunately I don’t know what could be causing the issue.

I went to a different route, I’m now using BLE monitor component and it works flawlessly on the first try without any issues. Thanks so much for your willingness to assist.
