Hello yall, I recently purchase 4 of these sensors to further complicate my home automation setup. However, I’m having a immense trouble configuring settings to my liking. The sensor seems to ignore any thread hold value I put in there. I use Smartthings and below is copy-paste of settings I have set.
With the settings below, I’m expecting a LUX report from the sensor IF there’s change in lux value larger than the threshold value. But I’m getting LUX report at a random internal (1 min, 3 min, sometimes 15 min) with all of the value within 3~10 LUX which is far below the threshold value. This behavior happens regardless of the value of lux threshold (parameter 113) from 10 to 65528.
Does anyone have an insight why it is ignoring threshold value?
I just installed my first 4 in 1 sensor today (using Hubitat) and I am having the same issue.
The motion sensor is going active and inactive, however the updated sensor thresholds have no bearing on the other sensors updating (illuminance, temp, humidity) on any frequency unless I pull the battery out. Even 3 taps on the sensor doesn’t seem to wake it and force an update.
I just pulled the inovelli driver and using that as of today.
One of the options available enables threshold update, check to see if it is on. When it is set to ‘on’ it should take effect… emphasis on ‘should’ because it doesn’t work for me at all.
Also I raised a ticket with this issue, I would suggest you do the same.
Thanks @zsunsun! I think my impatience got the better of me. The default refresh setting of 7200 seconds I think needed to run it’s course for me yesterday, before the new thresholds came into effect. I have the temp, humidity, and illuminance set at 5 minutes now each with lowered thresholds to report and that did the trick. Looking back at my logs overnight is showing that I’m getting the desired functionality now
Hello Rich, I’m glad to hear threshold setting is working for you. For me it still does nothing…
Triple click on the switch on back should wake the sensor up to do a refresh on the settings which will override daily update cycle (AFAIK from manual).
Can you check of you set threshold higher for LUX value and see if it works as expected?
Hey @zsunsun. I upped the threshold on the LUX to test and it still seems to be reporting every 5 minutes as I have it set regardless of the threshold setting. Let know if there is anything else I can check if it helps you troubleshoot.
Thanks @Rich. This confirms that I’m not the only one seeing threshold getting ignored.
It’s been 4 days since I opened my ticket, so I’ll wait few more days and start return process. I don’t think spending money on a product that’s not backed by the company behind is a wise move.
Hey @zsunsun. I haven’t really checked the threshold usage. I’ve been having it report updates every 5 minutes and it’s been working great. the battery still looks to be at 100 at least according to hubitat! I’ll see if I can play around with some of the thresholding to see if my experience is the same.
Thanks @Eric_Inovelli for getting the bugs posted. The visibility you all provide into what you’re doing is awesome. Keep up the good work!
@zsunsun Did you ever get anywhere with this? I just installed a second one of these sensors and it doesn’t care what settings I use it reports everything its not supposed to. I can turn all sensors off except for temp and it reports everything.
I just received 4 of these sensors as well and have enabled the Report Only When Thresholds Are Met (110) setting on all sensors. However, the sensors seem to be reporting on the reporting interval regardless of the report thresholds.
I’ve had them up for about 2 days so far. I’ve had no problems configuring the reporting interval and the PIR settings by waking up the device. The report threshold setting are being saved and “enabled”, but the reporting behavior does not reflect this.
