I am using a gen5 multisensor (Aeon) to control outdoor lighitng (lux) and as a mini weather station. The motion, though, is always triggering. I saw somewhere it said to disable the motion for outdoor use, but can’t figure out how to do that. Can anyone help?  
Thanks  
Jeff

There’s a hardware switch inside to adjust sensitivity, you can start by just turning it all the way down and see if that helps. Otherwise you’ll have to start looking at code parameters.

I got two of these sensors recently and after a successful pairing with the Hub and waiting for about 30 minutes for the sensors to begin sending data, I still cannot get either of them to respond to any kind of motion.

Any idea on how to resolve this?

I’ve excluded and rejoined this device several times with USB power, battery power, secure mode, hard reset, etc. to no avail.

This may be a better resource.
