tl;dr: Why is the motion sensor a sensor rather than a binary_sensor in Home Assistant?
My two sensors just arrived from Amazon yesterday, and while setting in Webex multitasking, thought I’d start to set one up. It was pretty effortless, as I’d already added the Open Z-Wave files when I installed a couple of switches the other day.
However, the sensor_burglar is showing up as an analogue sensor, with the values of 0 or 8. The 8 is not related to sensitivity; I tested with sensitivity at both 7 and 9, and the value of the sensor is always 8 when motion is detected.
Is there a reason for this, and why it’s not binary? I’ll assume that the 0 always means no motion, but is there any reason the analogue value when motion is detected would ever be anything but 8?
Thanks (and It’s great to be working with a Michigan-based company!)
