ZG-204ZK Occupancy Sensor (TS0601 _TZE200_ka8l86iu)

I was wondering if anyone had purchased, and had luck using this sensor?

[Smallest Zigbee Presence Sensor: Tuya ZG-204ZP | SmartHomeScene

It was only a few dollars, so I figured I'd give it a shot. So, ultimately it wouldn't be a big deal if ultimately it can't work. It pairs just fine, but load with the "Device" default. I've tried changing it to the Generic Zigbee Motion (no temp), I've tried using the Tuya community Drivers.

Please Identify the Zigbee device model and manufacturer IDs.

|Manufacturer|_TZE200_ka8l86iu|
|Model|TS0601|

Is what is listed

I'm actually thinking it might be a bad sensor....

Battery 100
Battery Voltage 2.7
Health Status online
Last Battery Tue May 12 09:13:51 EDT 2026
Motion inactive
Power Source dc
Status clear

But Status/motion never change, and there is no indication on the sensor itself that it's detecting anything.

This is a very new device and there is no driver for it even in Home Assistant…. Will need some time to research .

Assign manually the Tuya Zigbee mmWave Sensors driver to this device.

Then go to the Preferences tab and manually select "Tuya TS0601_2AAELWXK 24 GHz + PIR Radar" Device Profile, then click on the Save button

Lastly, pair the device with your hub again (without deleting it).

Let me know if it works or not.

unfortunately, no change.

What do you see in the logs after pairing it again to the hub?

Let’s see if we can find some more information, otherwise the guessing process is long and painful.

I appreciate the time on this

I have an issue with a mmWave sensor that appears to be similar to this one:

Manufacturer _TZE200_w0ap83qu
Model ZG-204ZX

I tried manually selecting the Device Profile as you suggested @kkossev but it doesn’t quite work. Illuminance seems to report OK but the motion state seems to always want to report “active” and the human motion state just reports “unknown”. I’ve tried adjusting the sensitivity to see if that makes a difference but it doesn’t appear to…

Actually maybe the motion is working and I just didn’t give it enough time to change states. I’ve set it to “only radar” presence detection and lowered the sensitivity. Will do some further testing…. great work on the driver!

package manger - Tuya Zigbee mmWave Sensors

then pick “TS0601_HOBEIAN_RADAR” as your profile … ALL shows and works but to be fair i dont beleave its the right profile altho it will let you adjust setting and it works

that option is not present. The closest i get is

HOBEIAN ZG-204ZV Millimeter wave motion detection

And it doesn’t work, unfortunately.

@sahamilton9864, your device is not the one referred to in the thread subject and in the first post.

It should be referred to as "ZG-204ZK" by the vendor "HOBEIAN".

Please check again: does it have "ZG-204ZK" (letter 'K') printed on the back of the device cabinet or on the box it came in?

Also, confirm once again that when paired to your HE hub, you see Manufacturer: _TZE200_ka8l86iu on the device web page.

@robevansaus your device is totally different compared to the one that the OP has, I will comment in another, more appropriate thread about it. Let's keep this thread for one device only.

... these HOBEIAN labeled gadgets are a nightmare to identify... : (

@sahamilton9864 I have updated the Tuya Zigbee mmWave Sensors driver to

  • ver. 4.2.2 2026-06-27 - added HOBEIAN ZG-204ZK 24 GHz Human Presence Detector (TS0601 _TZE200_ka8l86iu)

The default device profiles JSON file was also updated (ver. 4.1.4).

After you update the driver manually (either import the new code from the Driver editor, of if using HPM - perform a 'Repair'), click on the "Load Standard Profiles From Git Hub" button.

Your device fingerprint should now be present in the driver and the JSON file. The Deice profile group is this :

On the Commands tab, select 'LOAD ALL DEFAULTS' from teh Configure drop-down menu and click on the Run button.

Please let me know if this works for your device.
