Monoprice MultiSensor ZSE40 reports wrong temp regardless of °F/°C settings in plugin

[DifferentComputers]

Monoprice MultiSensor "(Motion Sensor - Zooz Multi Sensor (ZSE40))" works reliably in Indigo and reports temps correctly. It shows as multiple devices.

When configured in HKB, motion works correctly but temp is always significantly off. What Indigo reports as 51.16 F, HomeKit reports as 126 degrees F. Setting, resetting, setting back the plugin's F/C setting has no effect on this at all--changing it to C doesn't change it at all.Temp:

[MODERATOR NOTE]: Fixed post for readability (using the code toolbar option on a long block like this doesn't work, you have to past it indented instead)

[DifferentComputers]

Sorry, I'm not seeing how to post this with proper formatting.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

Yeah, it's persnickety sometimes, but what I do is copy that dump to Texwrangler and then I can easily just CMD-A to select it and CMD-] to indent and it works fine. No biggie. The concept is that if you precede your code by 3 or more spaces (or tabs) then it'll put it into a code block similar to what you see on the Indigo forums.

[FlyingDiver]

I'm seeing the same problem. I posted my device definition to the forum thread. It's probably about the same.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

That's strange because, without fail, all 12 or so of my temperature sensors and thermostats are reporting fine. I'll dig into this soon.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

Once you download 15.1 use the new HomeKit Simulation Utility and tell to Include device data dump so we can see the entirety of the device you are trying to use and how HomeKit sees it.

[DifferentComputers]

I notice the last thing is "(Dict) CurrentTemperature : 49.38"

Which is correct. But the Home app shows 121°.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

It's not correct if that's the correct fahrenheit value, it needs to be C. That's why I wrote this utility, so I can see what HomeKit sees and if it sees that it considers it C.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

Can you verify, for my own edification, that the server is set to Fahrenheit in the settings? If it is then that should have been converted but perhaps since it's a sensor it's getting skipped.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

Never mind, I see the problem now. It's because it's a sensor. If it were a thermostat it would have converted it, but a sensor is bypassing conversion.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

Resolved in the next update.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

I knew there was a reason I wasn’t converting this, it acts totally different than thermostats do in HomeKit in regards to temp conversion. This still needs work as now all my sensors are reporting Celsius.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

Ok, I think I finally have this worked out. HomeKit is so exacting when it comes to temperature. All temps must got to HomeKit as Celsius and IT will convert based on user preferences. The problem is that the "universal" setting on the server to Fahrenheit or Celsius doesn't work because, like in my case, I have a mixed environment where my Fibaro's are Celsius but my Thermostat is Fahrenheit, so one shoe doesn't fit all. The solution is to allow each temperature sensor and thermostat have their own setting for if they need to be converted FROM Fahrenheit. This is to say that if a device is not Celsius then this box will have to be checked so that we know to convert that the Celsius for HomeKit.

That checkbox will be in the next release and, in my case, it got my temperature sensors back to the correct value. I think once this is done it'll fix a couple other temperature related issues too. Now the server setting will only impact thermostats rather than ALL temperature based HomeKit devices.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

This should be resolved in the next release (finally).

[DifferentComputers]

Great work! I look forward to testing this ASAP.

[DifferentComputers]

Great Success! It's now 45°F on my porch according to HomeKit. As it actually is.

With this, I've just disabled HBB and moved HKB into primary use for further testing.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

Awesome.

With this, I've just disabled HBB and moved HKB into primary use for further testing.

That was so last week for me...
