Zigbee Motion Sensor Firing every minute

[Martijnsx]

The problem

Since a week 2 of my 3 motion sensors keep firing every minute. I suspect this has something to do with home assistant itself.

The motion sensors are connected to ZHA by a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 dongle. The 2 motion sensors are RH3040 TUYATEC-zn9wyqtr. The other motion sensor which is not affected has the same hardware (from the outside) but has other serial numbers.

Last weekend the first began firing every minute. I took out the batteries (35% charge left) and put them back in. This did not work. Then i changed the batteries for charged ones (69% charge) and that stopped the firing.

A week later (now) the other motion sensor keeps firing every minute. This one has 40% charge. Will change batteries.

Because my home away alarm gets triggered when the motion sensor fires this has some unwanted side effects.

Does someone know what the problem might be? Is it HA related?

Hi,

Why do you think this is a support request? I suspect this has something to do with home assistant itself.

I took out the batteries (35% charge left) and put them back in. This did not work. Then i changed the batteries for charged ones (69% charge) and that stopped the firing.

based on this, i think it is an issue with the device. If you would provide debug logs as described in the docs we might be able to check this further.

Does someone know what the problem might be? Is it HA related?

further this indicates on the first to be a request for support 😉

Hi Michael,

The motion sensors worked for many years without problems. The batteries have run down many times and i changed them after i got a low battery alarm.

Now i did not get a low battery alarm. Also what are the odds that both suffer from the same problem almost at the same time?

What should i do then?

Best regards, Martijn

Hi @Martijnsx

first you could describe if you have lately updated HA in the questionable time frame? Further you could provide the requested debug logs, so we would be able to analyse your issue.

I have the same issue with Ikea sensors. Mine fires every 30 40 minutes.

Hi Looking at the register, i saw the "chekin event was fired" and after i have 1 or 2 movement. I set the poll time to 0 and I don't have the issue anymore.
