Yeah I gave up with them and went with Aqara ones. I just gradually replaced all the Sonoff motion sensors.
The Hue motion sensors are great, but quite expensive. I've found the Aqara ones to be best value for money. Haven't had many issues with them.
I was really surprised that the Sonoff ones are so bad. I used ITEAD's custom PCB service for years (when they still offered it), and it was always fantastic. I have a lot of their plug-in switches and their temperature sensors, and all have worked perfectly. Seems like their motion sensors are the exception.
Yeah I still use their temp sensors and they seem to work fine. The door/window sensors seem to work ok too, but for the most part I've just swapped over to Aqara for anything new I've bought.
