Iris vs SmartThings contact sensors - Iris is better

[JDRoberts]

Did you do a zigbee heal after you positioned the two sensors for a test? You want to be sure they both have up-to-date neighbor tables.

That said, the most recent version of the motion sensor has been previously reported as being slower than earlier generations.

@whoismoses has a video showing the difference:

Performance of New ST Motions Sensors

I’ve noticed a different between the two… The old motion sensors trigger within < 1 second. The new ones, at least the two (now 3) I have tested trigger between 2.5 and 3.5 seconds. Is there something that I can do to make them act like the old ones? I got 5 of them from ST a couple weeks ago. For my use cases they are unusable. 1 . Turn the lights on when I start to walk up the stairs. I am 3/4 of the way up before they trigger. 2. Turn the lights on when I walk into a room, I’ve tripped over something before they turn on 1/2 way in the room.
