Installing this to give it a try.
You are awsome for creating this. Thank you!!
Thanks for writing the DH for this. The LED was driving me batty. BTW I currently have this sensor powered via usb cuz the battery lasts about 3 months or so. How is your battery performance with this sensor. The sensor has super range at least 40’ or more and coverage
@jwillaz
Thank you for the DH. Works good.
Just a note: If you set parameter 18 to 255, PIR reset time becomes 5s which makes for a really fast reacting sensor.
@NomadTech, you are correct. I may add the 255 value as an option (I wasn’t sure how to add that outside of the value range I pass in the DH). The only problem with setting it to this is you will drain the batteries super fast.
Every time the sensor switches state between No Motion to Motion and back to No Motion it sends a Z-Wave signal. The timeout is really just a countdown timer - if it trips Motion, then any motion within the timeout period will simply start the countdown over internally (no signal sent). If the timeout is only 5 seconds, there will be times when it’s sending lots of signals. That may be okay if you have the sensor plugged in, though.
It’s too bad the timeout can’t be set to like 15-30 seconds. Like I said, I’ll probably make an update just so the 5 second mode is an option. I can think of one automation application where I could use that kind of resolution - I’ll just have to be sure to have the sensor plugged in 
.
I would leave Dh as is. and put a note about it. You can set it up in IDE to 255.
You can USB power it.
I changed the DH to the one listed above and then changed the interval from the default of 4 to 1. Verified in IDE that it now shows 1 (Parameter 18 = 1), but it’s still only updating every 4 minutes. Did I miss a step? Thanks for the awesome DH!
Push button on the back once
Thank you for this! I set the DTH and disabled the red led and then reverted back to the normal z wave motion sensor and the setting stuck. Perfect!! its now local and no red blink when motion is detected.
THANK YOU! That was the issue! I’m guessing that button needs pressed every time a change is made to the parameters? One other question, the 255 for parameter 18, can you just fill that in on the app settings under timeout even though it says (1-60) ? Thanks again for the tip!
@David_Waltermyer
No, but you can do it in IDE.
I purchased 2 of these sensors and after loading the handler both show motion as always on. I am hoping I am not this unlucky and just made a simple mistake… thoughts?
btw I have 2 GoControl sensors working just fine.
Did you select this device type in the IDE?
Did you try the default Z wave Motion device type in the IDE?
yes… I have tried both device types. I now believe one sensor to be bad. The other seems to be working after a battery pull and the other does not.
Having the same issue. Device shows constant motion using either device handler. When I put the device in test mode (per instructions) it works great (sees motions and then shows no motion) until test mode resets. The only information that shows in the logs is a battery level update if I press the button on the back of the sensor.
Can this also report when it changes from usb powered to battery? That way it can behave as a power outage sensor for a given outlet.
Edit: downloaded the guide and doesn’t look like you can install the batteries AND hook up the usb at the same time (at least from the diagrams.
You can’t use both power sources at the same time. Plug eould not fit when batteries are installed.
Also the manual states if you switch power sources you have to add the sensor again. Or something like that.
Thanks. Figured it was like the MultiSensor 6 but guess I missed that somehow in the manual.
Does anyone have the battery level reporting correctly? I just see this “–”
I changed from the GE Protable to Z-Wave Motion Sensor, I now see 100% as well. Only time will tell. Thanks.
