Anyone successfully paired a Zigbee Visonic K9-85 motion sensors?

OK, I want to be careful jumping to conclusions here....but....

I have just successfully paired an MP-840 and set what appears to be a functional driver - Generic Zigbee Motion Sensor (it came up as a Generic Contact Sensor by default).

While I was initially thrown by the device automatically going into Walk Test/Testing Procedures upon battery insertion (and after pairing) .... this motion sensor seems to be operating as it should with Hubitat...but given all the posts in this thread saying it didn't, I'm suspect of what seems to be success.

The default testing procedures are standard for Visonic and I should have remembered them from configuring the K-95s on Visonic Alarm Panels. I was too quick to look at the Device screen in HE and the sensor LEDs expecting certain other behaviors when in fact the device was in a different mindset. These Visonics carry on some of the same alarm system level aim & adjust tuning steps they've always required for a better security installations.

The device rolls out of testing mode into normal operation after 15 minutes. See the instructions in the package. I am working off set D-306398. I know they are out there on Visonic's site as well. They will mention that battery saving "Rearm Timer" feature which waits 2 minutes before allowing motion to trigger the device again. This is a feature that will make you think it's not working/not communicating to HE and have you messing about with things wondering what happened...so be aware.

Driver-wise we either have what we need onboard the 2.2.8 HE system...or are very close. The device does send a Tamper notice when opened but I suspect that's unique enough that the driver isn't handling it. @mike.maxwell this is not a biggie so maybe we don't need to lift the hood to get this device to work after all. We'll see.

[Now- if you want to talk about how flippin hard it was to get the front cover off from the base without damaging the case seams....we can talk. The point on the "bottom" of the case that looks like a screw hole indention WAS, in prior Visonic designs, for a screw which allowed for easy dismantling. Now it's just a point of shear frustration where a plastic "spring tab" holds on to the cover piece like a gorilla. Don't ask me how buggered up the case seam is now as a result of trying to lever it apart. It now appears I could have stuck something in there at the right angle and sprung that tab a bit...but the instructions to "depress the bottom" were not getting me anywhere.]
