@k4mrat can you test? https://github.com/fantomnotabene/HomeyCONZ/tree/tradfri-motion-sensor

[k4mrat]

I’ll try it ASAP, hopefully after work tonight!

[k4mrat]

Nice going! It pairs fine. The dark/light works! (See issues below)

Issues: • Don’t know if you made a flow card for “if dark” but I can’t find one.

•I haven’t had time to test very thoroughly before I go to sleep tonight, but for 4 minutes the motion alarm never canceled, but the light/dark Boolean flipped when motion was triggered and that time was reset to 0.

•Something I stumbled upon when I tried to map the sensor, and realized that it had this Boolean, was that when the button is set to “Night” it reacts with dark true/false correctly. But when set to “Day” it seems to send only Dark:true. I thought it was me doing something wrong, but it seems like the same thing happens now with this driver. I’m suspecting IKEA might have messed something up here. It would have been more logical to have Boolean “Light:true/false” than “Dark” IMO. (Or I’m missing something!)

Night on: Dark correctly

[k4mrat]

Night on: also correct

[k4mrat]

Day mode on: Reports Dark:true. Not your fault though I’d say!

But motion is never canceled. Will look more at that tomorrow.

No, work in progress. It pairs - already a good feedback :)

Not your fault

So it is not working as expected, but not my bad?

motion is never canceled

Can you leave the room and wait a couple minutes? Maybe 3-4

@k4mrat branch updated added condition flow card check if it works too

Not if I’m right about this:

•Something I stumbled upon when I tried to map the sensor, and realized that it had this Boolean, was that when the button is set to “Night” it reacts with dark true/false correctly. But when set to “Day” it seems to send only Dark:true. I thought it was me doing something wrong, but it seems like the same thing happens now with this driver.

I’ll give that a try!

The motion sensor resets itself perfectly now it seems!

Got some more info about the Boolean and maybe why it may behaves the way it does.

The new version seems to have the ability to dim lights to like 30% or 100% depending on dark or not. The old one, when used as intended; directly with a Trådfri LED, is either ON or OFF.

The Night/Day setting on the back of it is just to tell the lights if you want them to only turn on when dark or always. This is probably why the Day-setting always sends “Dark:True” as this tells the LEDs to turn on.

@k4mrat so.. can I say that TMS is fully implemented and should be merged?

[k4mrat]

Yeah. Might wanna make a note somewhere about the “is dark” only working if set to “Night” mode.

I have no idea where
