Zwave GE/Jasco 26931 & 26933 motion switches

If you have time, what I’m looking for is to see how long it takes for the motion sensor (binary_sensor, I assume), to go to off, when there is no motion. For me I would bring up the sensor on my phone, walk into the room, and then out of the room, and see how quick the sensor goes to off. Many, many zwave sensors take up to 3 minutes to report back with no motion/off. But, most are battery powered, so that makes sense to save battery life.

I put the unit in manual mode and walked through the room across and back out (small laundry room). Here’s the timing from the zwave log edited down to just the “burglar” sensor.

This is hiding outside the door and waving my hand quickly into the room.

There is a setting for “reset cycle” which defaults to 20 seconds, but when I try to change it it doesn’t seem to take.

Glad this is now working. I have moved two 26931’s from Smartthings to HA. Seems to work pretty well so far.

Ever get that reset cycle to update? Having the same issue here.
