Only if you are on USB power. If you are using batteries, you need to hold the z-wave button such that the red LED stays on. Under battery power, it will only configure if it is listening and you know it’s listening when the LED is solid.
I will try to post an update to github tonight.
Yeah, mine is permanently installed on USB
Thanks
Well for the looks of it I am going to have to return this and get the first Gen version, it costs the same on Amazon and I don’t really think there is much to lose given that Gen5 version is such a POS
@jefo13, do you still have your sensor? I finally have mine working. I used @johnathan398 's code and did all the configuration from the app. Don’t modify the code. Hit preferences and set everything up. Once done hit “Done” and then hit “Configure”. This all needs to be done with the USB connected.
I just tried the new code, but no luck
I am getting this when I hit configure after saving my preferences
9:59:15 AM: error groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Ambiguous method overloading for method java.math.BigDecimal#multiply.
Cannot resolve which method to invoke for [null] due to overlapping prototypes between:

Happy for you though
What exactly are you inputtin into preferences? All I update is the minutes and seconds for motion, I do not touch any toggles or other fields…
How many minutes, seconds are you inputing?
I set all the fields.
Should values be reported in realtime as they move past thresholds? (On)
Report threshold temperature (degrees): 1.8
Report threshold for humidity (%): 1
Report threshold for illuminance (LUX): 1
Report threshold for battery (%): 5
Minutes until no-motion is reported: 0
Seconds until no-motion is reported: 15
Report Group 1 items every x minutes: 30
Report temperature in Group 1: on
Report humidity in Group 1: on
Report illuminance in Group 1: on
Report battery level in Group 1: on
Report Group 2 items every x minutes: 30
Report temperature in Group 2: off
Report humidity in Group 2: off
Report illuminance in Group 2: off
Report battery level in Group 2: off
Report Group 3 items every x minutes: 30
Report temperature in Group 3: off
Report humidity in Group 3: off
Report illuminance in Group 3: off
Report battery level in Group 3: off
Hit “Done” in the app and then hit “Configure” in the app.
Thank you, I assume you meant Group 2 on the second set of groups… Either way the motion settings did not stick
UPDATE: I toggled everything to ON and the settings took!! Finally THANK YOU!!
Yes, sorry I screwed that up. Fixed now.
Are you watching the live logging in the web interface? What happens when you hit the “Configure” button / tile? What happens when you hit “log config”?
Awesome! That’s exciting news!
Hello does anyone have this device type working on the new Hub?
EDIT: never mind. It does work just the same
So not happy with this device type. Been searching for a custom one. Motion stays on for too kong, the lux reporting is jumping from 100 to 1000. This is by far the worst device type…
You’re in luck because I was planning on porting my multi sensor 6 code back to this one. I have the same gripes and the biggest one for me is lack of offsets for temp, etc.

Please do, I saw your work on the newest sensor and looks great!
I’ll be able to address the reporting but may not be able to provide offsets for the temp humidity and etc… I have Aeotech looking into it now…

how did you get it to work?
The only thing I get is when I press the “Configure Tile” and then "Log Config: Tile:

It’s usb powered the whole time. Even though I set Group1 to report every minute, it still only reports at the default 5 mintues interval. Also, I’m surprised that noone has pointed out that the “Log Config” output is bugged. The only thing you see is “Getting current configuration”… and nothing else… it looks like it should be listing all of the preferences, but it is not. I’m new to ST, so I’m trying to figure all of this out still.
I have found that the sensor only accepts certain configuration values and the config values I submit to it do not match exactly with what they are set to. It has been a little frustrating for me as well in this regard.
Johnathan,
Do you have an updated version of the device type for Multisensor 4 Gen5? The one I got is from
What are your values that you can set, bc I can’t get anything to stick. Also, I can’t get the log config to work.
I’m pressing the log config tile and I’m not getting any messages back in the parse(). Any idea why there is no response back from the device? It’s USB powered with a constant steady light.
Thanks.
