I purchased some Ring Motion Detector v2 sensors recently. I was able to include one of them in Z-Wave JS UI but something still isn’t right.
I don’t get any motion events from it. I immediately see events in the debug log for the tamper sensor if I take the back off or put it back on so I know it’s connection to the Z-wave network is ok.
I downloaded the manual to check out the configuration parameters and the parameters listed in there did not match up with the parameters in Z-Wave JS UI.
After a little digging I think I found the source of the mismatch, but I’m not sure what to do about it or if it’s what’s causing my motion detection problem.
If you go to the Z-Wave Alliance page for the product they have a link for the Manufacturer Provided Product Manual, Configuration Capabilities, and the XML product data.
https://products.z-wavealliance.org/products/3869
Z-Wave JS UI aligns with the Configuration Capabilities and the XML product data but only lists 11 parameters. The manual lists 12 parameters while the configuration capabilities, XML, and Z-Wave JS UI only have 11. The first four parameters align for all of them, but 5-11 are all mismatched and parameter 12 is only listed in the manual.
| Parameter | Manual Description | Z-Wave JS UI Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Heartbeats | Heartbeat Interval |
| 2 | Application level retries | Application Retriess |
| 3 | Application level retry base wait | Application Level Retry Base Wait Time Period |
| 4 | LED indicator | LED Indicator Enable |
| 5 | Supervisory Report wait time | Runtime Occ Clear Delay |
| 6 | Occupancy Clear Delay | Runtime Intrusion Clear Delay |
| 7 | Intrusion Clear Delay | Runtime Std Clear Delay |
| 8 | Standard Clear Delay | Motion Detection Mode |
| 9 | Motion Detection Mode | Lighting Enabled |
| 10 | Any motion threshold | Lighting Delay |
| 11 | Lighting Enabled | Supervisory Report Timeout |
| 12 | Lighting Delay |
I’m not sure which list is accurate, although the list of parameters from the manual is the same as the one from the manual on the Ring website. I suspect the mismatch may be the root of my problem, but I’m not sure where to go from here. I looked at filing a bug report on the Z-Wave JS, Z-Wave JS UI, or Home Assistant githubs, but it wasn’t clear where the best place to report this would be.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
