Need help - Aeon Gen5 Multisensor

[rickcau]

I just purchased 4 Aeon Gen5 Multi-sensors and I can connect them fine to ST, but I never get motion. I powering all units with batteries. It only detects motion as soon as I join them to my ST hub. I never get motion alerts from this point forward!

If I check the IDE, I can see the current status is as follows:
illuminance: 63 lux
• temperature: 69.2 F
• humidity: 49 %
• battery: 100 %
• motion: inactive

As you can see the motion is “inactive”. I wake the device up but tap 3 times on the black button and this wakes it up for ten minutes, so I would fully expect motion to become : active at this point.

Also, all the other parameters are refreshing at intervals that are acceptable. But, I need motion as I have plans to trigger Halloween props with these units.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get this working?

Thanks!
Rick

I would suggest you try a different DTH such as this one found below. It’s configurable and offers some additional flexibility. You will need to log into the IDE to make the change.

Johnathan, Do you have an updated version of the device type for Multisensor 4 Gen5? The one I got is from SmartThingsPublic/devicetypes/john-fullman/aeon-multisensor-4-gen5-configurable.src/aeon-multisensor-4-gen5-configurable.groovy What are your values that you can set, bc I can’t get anything to stick. Also, I can’t get the log config to work. I’m pressing the log config tile and I’m not getting any messages back in the parse(). Any idea why there is no response back from the device? It’s USB powered with a constant steady light. Thanks.
