WAPIRZ-1 Motion Sensor Difficulty

[hevykevy420 (Kevin)]

I have several older zwave motion sensors in my house. I am having difficulty getting one of them to report properly (wapirz-1). My other sensors are using what looks like a generic smart things driver, and they report and function just fine, and their tiles are the correct motion sensor icon.

I am excluding the one I’m having trouble with, but every time I add it back to the hub, it connects and shows the “multipurpose” icon, rather than the correct motion sensor icon. It also seems to be reporting an open/close contact with motion, rather than “motion/no motion”, and open/close shows on the tile, rather than motion/no motion.

I’ve tried adding it to the hub after excluding under the Ecolink brand, and also under the general zwave motion sensor, many times, to no avail. Also tried the philh30 driver and the smart things driver that my other sensors use, to no avail. Nothing seems to connect this thing *just" as a motion sensor, which is all I need it for.

TIA

Now I’m getting constant “moisture sensed” and “smoke detected” push notifications from this sensor help!!!

Kevin, did you ever find a solution? I’ve run into the exact same problem where my motion sensor suddenly became recognized as a smoke detector.

WAPIRZ-1Z Monoprice Motion sensors suddenly appear to have additional features

I’ve been using the Z-Wave Sensor PH driver it only has Contact and Motion options so the additional alerts don’t go off, it works for now until a better driver is available: [ST EDGE] Z-Wave Sensor Driver Channel - including specific Ecolink, FortrezZ, HomeSeer and Zooz models

I had originally tried the Zwave Sensor PH driver, which resolved the sensor tripping the Home Monitor smoke alarm actions, bit it also stopped sensing motion. I ended up switching to the Zwave masquerade driver and motion sense is working well.

[ST Edge] Z-Wave Masquerade

This driver allows simple z-wave devices, such as switches and binary sensors, to act as a different type of device. A typical use would be to make a z-wave contact sensor appear in the SmartThings app as a smoke detector. Profiles are included for: Acceleration sensors Alarms Carbon monoxide detectors Contact sensors Leak sensors Locks Motion sensors Presence Smoke detectors Switches Tamper alerts Temperature alarms Water level sensor (custom capability with low/normal/high states) Water valves Window shades Use the settings menu to swap between profiles (you may need to close and reopen the app to see the new profile). A setting is also available to invert the reported status. To use, enroll using the Channel Invitation and install the driver (choose the latest version if multiple a…

Super late to reply here, but I’m no longer getting the odd smoke/water notifications. However, the sensor still is showing a tile as a “multipurpose sensor” instead of the preferred motion. All I can guess is something changed in ST or the driver, as I’m still just using a generic “smarthings driver for zwave sensor devices”.

I see a link from @Paul_Oliver , I will take a look at that…

EDIT: installed the @csstup driver, that looks better now
