GE 26933 Motion sensor switch timing?

[JDRoberts]

First, a couple of questions about your current set up.

When’s the last time you ran a Z wave repair, and what, if any error messages did you get?

Second, do you have the Aeotec Sensor set up so that you are walking across the detection field rather than straight on towards it?

FAQ: Where to locate motion sensor for fastest response?

[image] I have a downstairs hallway that’s perhaps 12 feet long, with a doorway to a spiral staircase at one end (where the picture is taken from) and a door into the garage on the other end. As you can see in the picture, there’s a jog in the hallway. Not seen here are another doorway about 4 feet to the right of the one by the staircase, a bedroom door to the left at a 45-degree angle (you can just make out a bit of the trim on the corner of the wall, near the top), and a laundry room doorway on the right as you go through the jog. The hallway is dark and I want to automatically turn on the lights when I come off the stairway or enter from the garage. I have an Ecolink motion sensor and I’ve tried placing it in each of the four locations marked with circles. (The two near the top are …

Third, is the automation that you are using to trigger the device set up to run locally or in the cloud?

Fourth, what’s the firmware level on the multi sensor, if you know. And what’s the exact model number? You can change the configuration of the sleep., Which is often perceived as being a more responsive device.

( because the GE device is mains powered rather than battery powered, it shouldn’t have a sleep period, So in that sense it should be more responsive. But because you have fewer choices about where to place it, that can be an issue separately.)
