Yes, I keep that repo up-to-date. The LED light should not be constantly on. It should only be on when transmitting. Might want to contact Aeon support about that one…
Yeah, so after troubleshooting with the Aeon tech, they said it was defective device. So now I’m returning it. I already order a replacement sensor but this time I’m getting the MultiSensor 6 Gen5. Hopefully it will work better.
Hi, did you get a chance to create a device type for this sensor. My sensor is reporting too often, and I cant seem to be able to change settings…Battery is dying in less than 2 months
Is it motion reporting? Do you have it outside? That will usually do it. To answer your question, no. There is hardly anything worth configuring. Maybe just turning off the motion sensor…
I have this sensor and one of the tiles on the app (Android) is “Configure”, but it doesn’t do anything. Is this sensor configurable? If so how and what can be changed?
Thanks for any help!
Config options include things like time to report no-motion, reporting frequencies and the like. These options are editable when you edit the device. Configure button only does something if the sensor is in listening mode. The easiest way to do that is to plug it in to a USB power source.
I just realize my sensor (Aeon Labs multisensor gen 5) now reporting every 32 minutes for luminance,
temperature and humidity. There’s no problem for detecting motion.
And then I also realize there’s a configuration that can be changed
here :
It’s blank with no title. But when I open graph.api.smartthings I see that is param111.
Is this working ?
Because when I change the value (original value is 1) to 2 or 600 there’s nothing change with the interval time.
Is there a way to change the interval time ?
I’m hoping someone might be able to help me out with this device type. I’ve added the sensor and changed the device type in the IDE with no problem. When I then try to configure the settings in the app and hit done it says “Fill out all required fields”. I’ve tried tapping on all the fields and turning everything on, but nothing has worked. Has anyone seen this or have an idea what might be causing it? This is the error I see in the log: 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:
[class java.lang.Character]
[class java.lang.Number] @ line 501
I’m still pretty new to all this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Post your source code. I’m sure I can spot the issue.
param 111 is interval…
The interval time of sending reports in Report group 1 (Valid
values 0x05‐0x28DE80).
Note: the unit of interval time is second
1800 (seconds) is default for the device from the MFR…
When i create a device handler from SmartThings template for the Multisensor Gen 5, I see
zwave.configurationV1.configurationSet(parameterNumber: 111, size: 4, scaledConfigurationValue: 8*60),
towards the end of the code… since it is seconds, 8*60 tells me they are saying 8 minutes… So long as you joined the sensor, then double tapped the button and hit the config tile in pretty quick succession (hard to get it exactly right!) it probably still holds some default values…
Hope this helps.
@johnathan398 please copy your code into a pastebin. I have a very clean one here http://pastebin.adamoutler.com/4sYm
In general it’s a very bad idea to paste code directly into the forums.
Ok Guys thanks for all your help getting these little devices up and running with ST.
So I have included with the Hub and installed the device handler john.fullman : Aeon Multisensor 6 Gen5 (Configurable).
I want to use this multi sensor in a bathroom to detect motion to activate the light and then when humidity exceeds a certain level (to be determined) to activate the extractor until the humidity reduces below a level (to be determined).
So Motion needs to be detected and reported efficiently and then Humidity is the next important data to report.
I have configured the device to 'Minutes until no-motion is reported to 0, Seconds until no-motion is reported to 60.
see below for the screenshots of my configuration -
When there is no-motion it seems to take about 3 mins to report, and I believe I have configured for 1 min.
I have also attached some Logging for review.
Any ideas to get this working as I wish?
BTW the device is currently plugged in via USB for power…
I’ve noticed that these Aeon Multisensors tend to have a lot of undocumented limitations and bugs. Based on my experience, here are some things I would try:
- Make sure each output is in only one report group. I’ve found that having the same output in multiple groups makes it report erratically.
- Try disabling real-time reporting. Even though the sensor reports the correct configuration according to documentation, I have never really gotten the desired behavior from this mode.
- Try playing with your report intervals. I’ve noticed that if report intervals are set too low, the sensor doesn’t report as expected.
Good luck!
Thanks Jonathan
Always good advise.
I have made the changes as you suggested
I am trying a 1min & 10 secs for no-motion. However it seems to fire after only 30 secs?
What have others set for mins & secs that work well?
Group 1(temperature & humidity) reporting 5 mins and Group 2(illuminance, UV & Battery Level) every 15 mins. Nothing reporting in Group 3.
I see the default value of illuminance threshold is set at 100. Yet it is currently reporting level of 12 lux. Isnt the threshold too high?
On another point Jonathan
Can you explain the 3 tiles on the multisensor device dashboard please?
Configure, LOG CONFI~G (I think) and what looks like a Refresh tile?
The “configure button” attempts to push the options selected during setup to the device. The device has to be listening for this to work. The “log config” button will ask the device to report the configuration it has received and push it to the live log. This is just to make sure that the config values I wanted were actually pushed to the device. The “refresh” button just updates the sensor values.
I just pulled the default config values from the documentation published by Aeon Labs. I think 100 is reasonable because it ranges all the way to 1000 I think.
Did you ever get this to work? I am having the exact same issue
No, sorry, I didn’t get this resolved. I think I need to completely remove
the sensor and add it again. I did remove it and add it again, but I think
I need to remove it, delete the device handler, add the device handler
again, and then add the device itself. I started using it in some SmartApps
and it functions well enough, so I just haven’t had the energy to do it.
Some one else might be able to look at your logs or have a different idea.
Sorry I’m not more help.
Having same issue. I copied code directly from github. Did you ever manage to resolve this?
