Two questions about motion detection:
- What does the motion_detection binary sensor indicate? Is it that motion is detected in the reporting area (defined by P101-106 and P117) or that motion is detected anywhere, irrespective of the reporting area?
- Why does the motion detection sensor sometimes report “detected” even when there’s no motion? The motion detection sensor works as expected for ~5-10 days (i.e., it’s “detected” when someone walks by and “clear” otherwise). After 5-10 days, the motion detection sensor is always “detected” until I air gap the switch, then it works for another 5-10 days.
The mmwave_person_in_the_reporting_area_read_only sensor works as expected (top bar in the attached image).
Configuration: 2 VZW32-SN in a 3-way config (top and bottom of stairs). The switch in question is at the top of the stairs, connected to the load. Firmware 2.2.0 on both switches.
Love these switches when they work as expected, but I can’t air gap them every week.
