i have taken two hue motion outdoors into use with my smartthings house, and it works more then perfect on the first day.
Limits of using the “frient” motion sensor i had before is that they can’t see “no motion detected for x time” beyond the actual time set. Causing a automation set to shut down lights if 2 sensors do not detect motion, to not work.
Using the same setup as with the 2 “frient” motion sensors, they work perfect now.
I have also changed my indoor lights activation to be based on the lux measured outdoor, will see how that will work out, will probably at least have to tweak the lux amount for activation, but the “when lux is equal or lower then” works fine!
Thank you for creating this, it works amazing, and adding the two sensors was also a breeze. (using the smartthings hub v3) It was indeed a matter of installing the scripts on first post here, and then simply searching for a new device in the smartthings app. It was then added automaticly, without any setup process.
I was very happy when I found replacement of DTH code for Philips Hue Outdoor Motion sensor. I downloaded the driver thinking no more connection dops, no more resetting devices from high ladder.
Unfortunately, I experienced the same issues with my four sml002, maybe worst as every single time before resetting the device I have to login to my Smartthings account on the website and delete manually the sensor (you cannot do it through the android app). After that I can start whole process which is scan for nearby devices and after setup automations. My Hue Motion Sensors, they go offline randomly - I can reset device and be happy for 2hours or 2weeks.I have one indoor sml001 but with the same issues.
Johan_Ahiner, you have mentioned that unsecure mode fixed your issues. I am not Developer so is there any way you could guide me please?
iquix, Johan_Ahlner please help, I am desperate to get this working properly.
After all, it looks like you do not have to be developer to find Secure Mode option
In case you have offline issues with your Philips Hue Motion indoor / outdoor Sensor, please find Smarthings HUB tile in your phone app. You have to go inside your tile to see Secure Mode ON/OFF option.
I believe changing Secure Mode to OFF position resolved my problem - I am online for 9 days so far.
Any other tips? I’ve retried pairing deleting resetting like 20 times! and the same thing always happens! I have secure mode off just keeps showing a motion sensor that doesn’t sense anything
I was able to get this added using the edge driver you supplied. Thank you! I was using a custom device handler previously.
I have noticed that the “cool” down time on motion detection is not as short as it was using the old device handler, but still really good. The temperature also reports every 5 minutes as well. Is it possible to shorten the time that this reports as I would like to get a more frequent reading for the application I am trying to use this for?
Hue SML004 is their new outdoor motion sensor. It allows for four sensitivity settings instead of two, which is throwing off some integrations. Same outer case, though, so it looks just the same.
SML003 is the new model of the indoor sensor, same issue.
Historically, people have used the same DTH for both SML001 (original indoor) and SML002 (original outdoor) since they have the same Capabilities and parameters as each other.
I’ve got the SML002. The motion, temperature and battery are all reporting correctly, but not illuminance. I’ve got the 2021-09-15 driver installed for this from Iquix.
I’m using the same version in my home, and having no problem so far. Maybe configureReporting packet got lost while pairing process. Try deleting the device, and pair the device again, to resend the configuration packet.
I gave this driver a shot with some outdoor sensors. I am getting illuminance, temp, and battery but not motion. I am also seeing this message when starting up the driver.
Device does not support cluster 0x0500 not adding configured attribute
That’s the IAS Cluster which is typically used for motion sensors. Not something I’ve delved into but presumably the ST Edge library assumes this by default for motion sensors.
