Hive Motion & Contact Sensors

[Andrew_Taylor]

OK I got a sort of temporary working motion sensor now. I used this device handler

[OBSOLETE] Orvibo Motion Sensor

Here we go, been working fine for me so far. It’s beta because I haven’t tested the fingerprinting yet, I just haven’t had time. If anyone else gets a chance to see if it works, and could let me know I’d appreciate it. Otherwise I’ll just have to try to firstly remember to do it, secondly find the time. NOTE: The sensor does not report when motion has stopped so there is a timer that will update the status to ‘inactive’ after a set period of time. By default this is 2 seconds, but you can adjust this in the device preferences to whatever you like.

The motion sensor now reports a motion when it first picks up a motion, but it won’t check in again for 30 seconds, so what I’ve done is change line 77 of the code from

if (value == "active") {
	def timeout = 2

to

if (value == "active") {
	def timeout = 30

That way the sensor shows “MOTION” for 30 seconds when it first picks up motion and if it picks up motion again after this 30 second period, it will stay on. If not, it reverts back to “NO MOTION”.
