anyone know how i add Wink connected motion sensors (ecolink PIR) to Home Assistant? All of my other Wink connected devices show up, with the exception of the motion sensors.
So does the Wink see your Ecolink motion sensors?
I would think they would surface the same way. I’m using the same sensors and a Aeotec Z-Stick, and they just showed up once I had added them to the Z-Wave network. One interseting thing, each sensor shows up as four items in the web interface.
sensor.basement_motion_detector_alarm_level_5
sensor.basement_motion_detector_alarm_type_5
sensor.basement_motion_detector_burglar_5
sensor.basement_motion_detector_sourcenodeid_5
You will also see a lot of this info in the ./homeassistant/zwcfg_*.xml file. I edited this file to add a more meaninful name and location.
Tip - If you want to edit the file, Home Assistant HAS to be stopped before you open the file for editing.
Agree - they should first be configured in Wink and show up there. If all is good on that end they should show up in HA once they get polled by the Wink API. Mine are all showing up in HA but then again I had them set up and working in Wink way before I even discovered HA.
You won’t get as much info via Wink as you would directly via a ZWave stick - @dap35’s post is a perfect example of that. You pretty much are limited to sensor on/off state and battery state. Makes me consider moving off Wink and onto a ZWave stick but I’m still researching the implications of such a move. I know that I get my Hue lights showing up twice now, once via Wink and once via the Hue Hub. I just figured out which was the entity that HA could actually control (which turns out to be the Hue hub’s) and hid the rest. But moving to a stick would solve this problem for me.
