pir/door lock sensors not showing the status

[duceduc]

Hi there. I have setup the security section with door locks and pir sensors. At one point, it was displaying the status of each sensors highlight in red area. The green highlight is working as you can see. Can you point me in the direction of what to look for?

I have tried updating the security (v2.0.2).yaml in the github to my existing one.

Here is my 2.1_security_sensors (v2.0.0).yaml

Ok. It's acting strangely. I have not done any edits and I noticed some pir sensors would stay on for quite sometime. The screen shot below, the pir sensor should not be on.

Hi @duceduc

If I understand correctly, you are experiencing two issues:

1) Your binary_sensor.motion_g2_occupancy sensor called Patio doesn't show any presence, although you believe the sensor is active. However, the security tab in the header correctly counts 1 active presence.

2) Your Washer card displays a presence but it shouldn't and the security tab in the header doesn't show that presence.

Regarding these issues:

1) One limitation of the QLM dashboard is that any entity changes made to the cards must also be updated in the file custom_templates/quick_look_mobile_macros.jinja. Could you please verify that the entities listed under the # PRESENCES menu correspond to the entities used in your security cards, and ensure they are up-to-date and correct?

2) In principle, the QLM cards should not alter the status of an entity. If you suspect a status anomaly with your washer sensor in QLM, could you please check what status is shown in Home Assistant dev tool ?

Hey. I am sorry to have taken up your time. It has been working all along and you have told me how the security card works before but I have forgotten. The sensor will not show active unless the page is refresh. It will be quite difficult to test this if the pir sensor is only active for 2 seconds which is how most of my sensors are setup.

If your motion sensor status only updates with a manual refresh of the dashboard, you should look into /dashboards/quick_look_mobile/templates/cards/security.yaml

Does your file look like this ?

security:
  template: basic_card
  variables:
    contact:
    occupancy:
    lock:
    contact_battery:
    occupancy_battery:
    lock_battery:
    name:
  triggers_update: 
    - '[[[ return variables.entity; ]]]'
    - '[[[ return variables.contact; ]]]'
    - '[[[ return variables.occupancy; ]]]'
    - '[[[ return variables.lock; ]]]'
    - '[[[ return variables.contact_battery; ]]]'
    - '[[[ return variables.occupancy_battery; ]]]'
    - '[[[ return variables.lock_battery; ]]]'
  styles:
    card:

You could also try with this code :

security:
  template: basic_card
  variables:
    contact:
    occupancy:
    lock:
    contact_battery:
    occupancy_battery:
    lock_battery:
    name:
  triggers_update: all
  styles:
    card:
