So just to confirm, any FW version of the Linkind motion sensor should work?
Yes, a customer sent me one of the newer ones, I just got it working a few hours ago.
Great...another Zigbee motion sensor option is always good.
Off topic (sorta) - are the contact sensors and leak sensors on the list for support in the future? AFAIK they weren't supported. Contact sensor has a nice small footprint.
Has anyone actually tried a Linkind contact recently? I had these working a year or so ago... (Feb of 2020 to be exact)
I found this - seemed mixed results, some problems reported at the end of the thread, but I don't have one to try yet.
Well sure, that thread started a month before I tested the device and added a fingerprint for it...
Ah, that's good to know. Adding Linkind to my list of contact sensors to try! Thanks for clarifying what I missed.
It really is a shame because they are so reasonably priced! I don't need any temp or lux sensors so it doesn't make sense for me to shell out the cash for them. I guess I'll return them for the time being. Hopefully they do a firmware update soon.
Whatโs a shame?
Yea I replied to that before I saw Mike's post haha. I'm glad there's a fix coming!
I have 2 of them set up and they work well. Quick enough response time.
I had my Linkind motion sensor drop off today (probably when I update the software). FWIW, their contact sensors work with Hubitat. I've had both motion and contact for many months without a problem.
I have the same results. I had this working well on Smartthings. However, I can not get it to report states in Hubitat. They should be able to eventually get it working on Hubitat.
Samples i purchased from amazon about a year ago were tested and added to the generic zigbee motion (no temp) driver.
Which driver did Hubitat select when you included it?
I still have the same issue of no motion sensing on my Linkind sensor since the 9th. It was working fine for a few months before this. Verified that it is set on the ZigBee Motion Sensor (no temp) driver.

So mine is detecting motion right now quite accurately. One problem I am having is that they seem to not deactivate if there is light in the room. Does anyone else have this problem? Or is this a common thing with motion sensors and I'm just too noob to realize...
Its very uncommon...
That's interesting. I checked all 3 of my sensors and they're the same way. The motion will turn on the light through motion lighting, but the status will stay active unless I turn off the lights manually. Guess I'll reach out to linkind and see what they say.
Huh, that doesn't sound like it's related to the light level.
Stick one in a closet, trip it, then close the door, make sure it goes inactive in some reasonable timeframe, like a minute or less...
