I have four of these devices and while they sense humidity, temperature, and light, they still will not detect motion. My goal is to have them turn on lights when someone enters. Despite trying this: https://support.smartthings.com/hc/en-us/articles/200955390-Troubleshooting-Aeon-MultiSensor-doesn-t-show-all-its-data / connecting - reconnecting, I have had zero luck.
ST IDE says that motion is “inactive”
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I had the same issue. It seems the Stock Device code in ST disables the motion. I could not find a way to edit the stock code but I did add a custom base device code in the IDE per the following link and it started working.
UPDATE: Got it working!
-The motion sensor was not working because the parameter to enabled was set to zero.
Not sure why, but the response() function was not pushing the z-wave ConfigurationSet commands back to the device so I made the config action a standalone action.
-I also extended the delay between transactions… that seemed to help the device take the configs.
I have built a much-improved device type of the Gen5 if anyone wants to use it. It is fully configurable and let’s you “beep” it to have it report config values back to the log so you can check if they took or not. Sharing this code so no one has to go through what I did with their gen5.
To configure using this Device Type:
Plug sensor into USB so it’s always listening (in range of hub of course)
Save the device pr…
