PIR sensor directly connected to HA?

@impy101

It’s a WiFi PIR sensor, its powered both wired and wirelessly (2x AAA batteries).

So my assumption was probably on point

@orange-assistant

It might be just the ordinary sh*tty tuya stuff which communicates over wifi but being battery powered at the same time causing heavy lags because it just takes time to establish a encrypted wifi connection (4-way-) as well establishing the TCP/IP connection which might include some DHCP negotiations too… Maybe even send your motion detection ones around the world (over other peoples computers AKA cloud ) before finally reaching your home (again) and “dropping” the detection event in HA
