Zigbee Tuya ZG-204ZM - light does not turn on after turning off

Hi everyone,

this is my first post, please bare with me :slight_smile:

I integrated a Tuya ZG-204ZM Presense Sensor into Zigbee2MQTT. It detects whenever someone is in the field of the radar.
It then changes the status to “presence”: true.

I created two automations, one to turn the light on, whenever someone move into the room and another one, to turn the light off, whenever the status changes to “presence”: false,

The problem is, when the light turned off and I walk into the room like 5 or 10 seconds later the light does not turn on again. Even if I stay and move around in the room. I will have to walk out for another 20 seconds or so for before I walk in again. So probably something about the status change in the automation? I assume it must have to do something with the automation because the status itself changes in Zigbee2MQTT.

It might make sense that I post the two automations in here:

Maybe it makes sense to combine it in one automation? I am a beginner and need your help.

Thanks everyone :slight_smile:

Most motion sensors have a ‘redetection’ interval period. Meaning a period where I wont trigger new movement detection.
Although this is also an mmwave detector, i would definilty check the settings in your presence sensor to look for settings that control that.
