I bought the above with a view to pairing the Blu Motion sensor with the Blue Gateway and then use an automation in Home Assistant that triggers turning on a light at a staircase landing if motion is sensed at the landing, the light is off and it’s dark enough to warrant it.
I’ve integrated the Gateway into HA, but for the life of me I’ve no idea how to pair the Blu Motion with the Gateway. Looked at the documentation for both nothing useful in there or written in a way that I’m not seeing how to pair them.
The Shelly BLU Gateway gen2 is running Firmware: 20241011-114449/1.4.4-g6d2a586.
Any tips much appreciated.
And as that perennial asshole Murphy would have it, after a full day struggling to get the motion sensor paired I have stumbled on at least part of the answer.
In order to get BTHome to see the motion sensor you need to set the Blue Gateway’s Bluetooth scanner mode to Active.
This is accessed via Settings/Devices & Services/Shelly:
After that, placing the Blu motion sensor in pairing mode (press and hold the push button (behind the back cover) for 10 sec to pair ShellyBLU Motion. HA will then report that a new device has been found, following which you’re connected and can interact with the sensor via BTHome in HA.
Hopefully what I posted here helps someone else and saves them the frustration.
