Aeotec TriSensor 8 (ZWA045) not updating motion item

Add-ons Bindings

Hi,
I’d appreciate any help with setting up this device- Aeotec Trisensor 8. I have had openhab running on RPI4 for a number of years and lots of experience with Zwave devices but struggling to get this to work correctly.

The temperature and humidity sensors are working fine but the motion sensor does not update the linked item correctly. I can see the motion reports coming in on the logs (attached) but the item state never changes.

I’ve looked at this thread: Aeotec TriSensor (ZWA005) motion not working
and have tried changing the settings as follows which seemed to help some people but hasn’t made any difference:

  • Send BASIC_SET to Associated Nodes to Group 2 (not using temp, just motion)
  • Set 0x00 on triggered and 0xFF on clear

From looking at the logs in Zwave log viewer, there are two event types coming through - ‘EVENT=0’ and ‘EVENT=8’ and it looks like the ‘EVENT=0’ events update the state to OFF but the ‘EVENT=8’ ones don’t change the state to ON.

any help much appreciated
thanks
Mark

Alarm_burglar is not the right channel to trigger Event 8. I believe your device is actually a ZWA045 (Please confirm). You could try to overwrite your zwave XML with this file and this method.
zwa045_0_0.xml (22.5 KB)

Edit: Forgot to mention I updated the ZW DB, so this will be fixed in the future (5.0 snapshots, etc.)

thanks, yes its a ZWA045 and that worked perfectly (once I’d worked out how to get jar comand to work!)
