Sonoff Presence Sensor SNZB-06P Sensors and Automations

Hardware

Hi,

I am setting up the new Sonoff Presence Sensor SNZB-06P. However I dont see the expected Sensors all I see is the below.

Also when trying to creat automations. I get the error "The are no automations available for the is device

I am using this with te Sonoff ZBBridge-P Bridge other Sonoff devices work without issue.

Can anyone advise of this?

ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT?

Have you tried a refresh of this page? :wink:

The HA Server is some distance away so ZHA via a USB into the server isn’t really and option in this case as provide unreliable with other devices and the reason for going with the bridge.

Unfortunately refreshing the page and restarting HA also hasn’t helped

Any luck @MrDC?

I’m considering buying one or more SNZB-06P Sensors but it will depend how well they integrate in ZHA.

The sensor is totally compatible with ZHA. I have a couple of those working just fine since a while:

Thank you @EdwardTFN ! :pray:

I’m a bit surprised the luminance is not a number though… :thinking: What are the possible values?

BTW, are you happy with the SNZB-06P’s presence detection? Would you recommend the sensor?

Yeah… That sensor is either “Light” or “Dark” and there’s no direct way to set the threshold, so in the end I’m not using this and therefore cannot even tell you how precise it is. :grimacing:

It works fine and I have no complaints. It looks clean and is fast and reliable.

Yes, I think it is a good choice.
I have a couple of those (Zigbee) and a couple of Aqara (Wi-Fi). The one from Aqara is more flexible as you can use their app to set areas and then get the results on Home Assistant, however I like more the designed used by Sonoff.
I don’t like that much using USB to charge it. When I stalled in my Workstation is fine, but when it is in a corner in a room, it requires a power supply, which is something else in the wall (and in the budget).
I have also a couple of generic Tuya Zigbee presence sensors which are powered by mains power, which is also nice, but usually a bit bigger.
Presence sensor is definitely a step ahead when compared to motion sensors (except by rare cases where you have only motion and not presence).
