Z-Wave devices not updating

Hi All,

I’m using a Aeotech Z-Wave Gen5 stick as a controller.
My devices are a Fibaro Smoke Sensor (v2) and a Fibaro Motion Sensor.
Both do not seem to update any of the value’s (ex. the motion sensor always reports 8.0 lux, and the Smoke Sensor always reports 21.8 in temperature).

I have no clue on how to troubleshoot this as I’m completely new to this.

I hope to get some good tips to get things behaving.

Kind regards,
Guido

Hi Guido,

are the sensors feeded by batteries or main power?
the temp sensor will send temperature updates 1 every 60 min if on batteries.

also, concerning the motion sensor, my is Aeotec, but the value 8 (for motion) means movement detected, there is a period of time (i think 240 secs by default) where it will keep it with this value, after the “trigger time” lapse it will reset to 0.

the motion sensor will update as soon as it “see” any movement, but on the same sensor, it will only update the temperature after 60 min if powered by batteries.

again, if on main power, it will update more often.

Hi Luis,

Thank you for your response.

The devices are battery powered, but the status hasn’t changed for over a period of days.
The device I have on main power (smart wall plug) doesn’t update as well, but I can control it (switch on/off).

That’s mostly why I’m lost on this.
