This week I added a number of devices to my home, including:
Two First Alert Smoke/CO2 detectors – Think these are working correctly.
One open/close detector – Think this is working correctly.
Aeon Multi Sensor – Wanted to put in my galley kitchen so it will turn on the light if a) there’s motion detected in the kitchen, b) I’m home and c) it’s dark.
To set up the Aeon Multi Sensor, I went to + -> Things -> Motion Sensors -> Aeon Labs Multi Sensor -> Top Alerts & Actions -> Turn on lights when it’s dark and motion is detected. Despite all of that, its turning on the lights even when there’s sunshine streaming in the room. I’ve decreased the sensitivity and repeatedly deleted the “convenience” and reinstalled it. The settings are:
Which? Kitchen Light
Where? Aeon Multisensor in the Kitchen
Turn off after: 1 minute
Using either this light sensor or the local sunrise and sunset: Aeon Kitchen Multisensor
Sunrise Offset: HH:MM: (empty)
Before or after: (empty)
Sunset Offset: HH:MM: (empty)
Before or after: (empty)
Zip code: My zip
Assign a name: Kitchen Light
Set for specific modes: Home, Night
Any ideas why it keeps turning on even in bright daylight?
Three other (possibly) unrelated issue:
-
When I go to my things, my Kitchen Light is still there, but when I go to Lights & Switches, the Kitchen Light no longer appears. (FWIW, it appeared prior to last week’s new devices being added.)
-
I had a motion detector that I moved from the kitchen to a hallway. Now, when I go to things, both the Hallway Motion Detector and the (Kitchen) Aeon Multisensor are listed, but when I go to the Motion neither appears. (A third motion detector does appear.) I can understand if Multisensors appear in the Damages & Dangers section (two ST Multisensors appear there), but I don’t understand why the Kitchen turned Hallway Motion Detector doesn’t appear.
-
The Aeon Multisensor isn’t reporting light, temperature or humidity. My other ST Multisensors showed the temp data automatically. Is there something I need to do to get the Aeon to start reporting that data?
Thanks!
