Tuya Zigbee mmWave Sensor

We were discussing the new aqara MM wave sensor, the FP300, Which, as of the time of this posting has not yet been released. A side discussion started about the Tuya ZG-204ZM sensor, which got pretty confusing and was hijacking the thread. So I have moved the Tuya discussion into its own thread here.

That isn’t “new”!
I´m using and testing this ZG-204ZM sensor with @Mariano_Colmenarejo Motion Sensor MC edge driver and is working very well. Its presents itself as a single zone motion sensor and use the PIR to detect large movement (someone entering the zone) and then activate the mmWave sensor. After that, the mmWave keep working to detect small/stationary movement and the “Motion/Presence” status stay´s until there is no more presence detected by the sensor.

Obs.: It also reports illuminance changes every 1 minute.

That’s nice and all, but is it Matter over Thread?

Checkmate!

I’m not in the hype of matter over thread yet! My V2 hub is working very well with zigbee :wink:

I bought this. Tested it with Mario’s driver…meh. Did not get the impression it was anything more than a PIR sensor … At least with Mario’s driver. It would not keep “motion detected” even when it placed 6 feet in front of me, and going out of my way to make sure I was moving around.

It activated well, that’s about it.

Have you really managed to get a fp300 already?
I don’t think it’s been released yet.
If you did get one, where did you buy it?

Try this driver:

Sorry was replying to @marcos.scheffler about the tuya sensor.

I have 4 of them and 3 work like a charm.
Devices stays with “motion detected” status all night while we are sleeping, using Mariano’s driver.
1 device aren’t correctly detecting the stationary movement, i’ll connect it to Tuya hub again and reset its sensitivity settings, then i tell you if it’ll as supposed.

I have one more to try. I also don’t have a tuya hub wonder if that’s the issue?

Thanks @JDRoberts !

In smart life app with tuya hub the device have all this sensitivity configs (this is the default):


In my case, for this particular sensor that aren’t working before, after pairing again with the tuya/smart life app, reseting the default settings and doing some trial and error, believe that i’ve found a config that works. One thing to notice is the change of the “presence keep time” parameter from 30s to 60s:


My sensor is in a restroom, so i want to detect micro movement like breathing to keep presence while someone are sleeping and, from device manual:

Is’ Presence Keep Time 'set as small as possible?
Answer: No, it is not possible because it takes about 5 seconds for the radar to detect and lock micro movements, and 40 seconds or more for locking breathing.

For a detailed explanation about the parameters:

Ha kinda wish you posted about having the tuya hub before I purchased these…
