AduroSmart ERIA Smart Home Wireless Motion Sensor

Dedicated motion and contact drivers will be in platform 2.0.7
I've emailed them for an engineering contact as well as a sample of the 4 button scene controller.
There is a custom cluster on these devices, hopefully their engineering contact will be willing to disclose any custom commands and that exist in them.

Now I just need to convince them to sell in australia. :frowning:

U.S. gets all the goodies. SAD FACE!

Unfortunately, it looks like there is no way to disable the annoyingly bright green LED that flashes when motion triggers the device. I wrote to their support folks and received this response:

"Hello Eric,

Unfortunately, there is no way of disabling the blinking light. It will blink when there is motion detected as an additional signal. I am very sorry for this inconvenience. Please let me know if there is any additional help I can provide for you.

Best Wishes,

Meh, might or might not be true on the hardware end, no one goes through the trouble of implementing a custom cluster without purpose...

They sell their own hub, so its possible they may be stingy on releasing details to us,

They're advertising the gear as being able to use with other hubs though, so hopefully they'd want to share more details to make it work. :man_shrugging:

I like the motion sensor, it reacts pretty quickly. If I could only get rid of the Green flash . . .

White electrical tape?? Probably the only way atm, at least until mike can pilfer their hardware secrets.

Tried that. I have aluminum HVAC tape over it with two layers of white Brother label tape over that. The problem is there is a gap that allows the light up into the chamber where the sensor lives and then it's visible through the sensor "window".

Really? Man I can picture the frustration on your face after all the tape is on and then... WHAAA?

Ah well, hopefully there is something in the hardware that can be tweaked.

All the standard certified zigbee functionality works as it should, there's nothing missing in that regard.

So AduroSmart got back to me (nothing on the engineering side), but they are sending me some bulbs and the 4 button scene controller that should be available for sale very soon...

Anyone else having problems getting anything besides "pushed" to work on these? Holding buttons 2 or 3 doesn't generate "held" or "released" events for me, no matter how long I keep them down. This is happening for me with two different switches on two different hubs. For all buttons, they generate a "pushed" event, apparently when they are phyiscally released, and that is all.

Hubitat did choose the correct driver, but I clicked "configure" anyway just in case, and it's still doing the same. (On a related note, the "refresh" method throws an error if you click the button; appears to not be implemented.)

Try resetting it and pairing it again.
These can't be refreshed, I'll get the refresh command removed...

Hmm, just tried that and it still does the same.

To be clear: to reset, I pressed the middle two buttons for a few seconds until the LED flashed, as stated in the reset instructions. Then tried pairing it again by holding down the bottom button until the LED flashed once (about 3 seconds). I tried it this way both with and without deleting the device in Hubitat, and the result is the same both times--only "pushed" events seem to happen for it. (Also tried the top button instead of the bottom button, which my interpretation of the directions concludes is for ZLL/touchlink pairing, so I didn't expect it to work...and it didn't.)

I dont remember the exact ordeal to get these setup, I'll pair it again and let you know the dealio...

confirmed bug in the driver, fix will be out in the next release.

Returning to the original thread, which was the Adurosmart ERIA Wireless Motion Sensor.

I now have a couple of weeks experience with two of these and I would like to add my opinion based on that experience. I am unimpressed. The second unit went in the kitchen, not more than 20 feet away from the hub, it worked briefly and then failed. I checked logs, nothing was getting back to the hub. The sensor appeared to be sensing the motion based on the annoying green flash that you cannot disable. I have now moved the sensor 10 feet closer and it seems to be working. The older sensor has been positioned in our main hall, not more that 7 feet from the hub. It has been working reliably but tonight it just froze up on me.

They are not inexpensive ($25), they have no additional sensors (e.g., temperature), and they seem to have weak radios compared to my other Zigbee devices. They do respond fairly quickly when they do respond and they are relatively compact. I will report again after living with them for a while longer.

You're comfortable with the state of your zigbee mesh? Enough repeaters, no bulbs?

No smart bulbs in the house. I have a couple of SmartThings Zigbee smart outlets but these two are incredibly close to the hub - just the closet wall between them. I have quite a few Zigbee devices that are much further away and working reliably. These two just seem to me to be weak. I'll keep watching them.

Cool, appreciate your observations, just wanted to make sure other factors aren't involved.
