Linkind Motion Sensor not showing current states/not detecting motion

So just to confirm, any FW version of the Linkind motion sensor should work?

6

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)

10

I found this - seemed mixed results, some problems reported at the end of the thread, but I don't have one to try yet.

11

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.

13

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.

What’s 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.

18

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.

19

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?

20

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.

Device info:

  • endpointId: 01
  • model: ZB-MotionSensor-D0003
  • application: 5D
  • firmwareMT: 1168-80FB-510D0002

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...

22

Its very uncommon...

23

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.

24

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...
