motion sensor

[HarryMcGill2022]

how do configure the plugin to show a devise as a sensor?

[NorthernMan54]

If you look at the DEVICES page, samples from my personal collection are documented including my pir motion sensor

https://github.com/NorthernMan54/homebridge-tasmota/blob/master/DEVICES.md#motion--bme280-temperature-sensor

so how do I config Homebridge to show as pir sensor?

[NorthernMan54]

As Tasmota doesn't know its a motion sensor, you need to supply an override to the configuration ie

"override":
  "869815_SW_1": {             <--- This is the unique_id of the discovery message you want to override
    "device_class": "motion",  <--- This is the key and property you want to override
    "name": "Motion Sensor"    <--- You can overwrite an existing value
 }

i am sounding relly dum now where can i find my unique id]

[NorthernMan54]

Oh, in the homebridge log when you start it with the debug option set to true

It will be very verbose as it discovers all your devices, and your looking for a section like this for the device your playing with. For this one, the unique id is 5673B2_RL_1

  Tasmota:platform Discovered -> homeassistant/switch/5673B2_RL_1/config Switch 1 {
  name: 'Switch 1',
  stat_t: 'tele/tasmota_5673B2/STATE',
  avty_t: 'tele/tasmota_5673B2/LWT',
  pl_avail: 'Online',
  pl_not_avail: 'Offline',
  cmd_t: 'cmnd/tasmota_5673B2/POWER1',
  val_tpl: '{{value_json.POWER1}}',
  pl_off: 'OFF',
  pl_on: 'ON',
  uniq_id: '5673B2_RL_1',
  dev: { ids: [ '5673B2' ] },
  tasmotaType: 'switch'
} +0ms

For the PIR it should not be a sensor but a switch or relay

[HarryMcGill2022]

its a relay

[NorthernMan54]

Config was updated, but I still think its the incorrect Unique ID

In the config I used 'AFD5E9_RL_1', but your device AFD5E9 has three relays ???

[HarryMcGill2022]

it has just updated its selth so there is only q one relay now

To make this easier, would could have direct chatted via discord

After restart it looks correct

[HarryMcGill2022]

ok thanks

Found a config issue with more modern Tasmota firmwares, and needed to change the override config

"override": { "AFD5E9_RL_1": { "device_class": "motion", "name": "Motion Sensor", "tasmotaType": "binary_sensor" } }
