I installed 6 Sonoff SN-ZB03 motion sensors this morning, and I'm getting so many false positives that they're essentially useless. I could understand having one that's bad, but 6?
Three of them seem to randomly trigger for no reason at all.
One triggers any time the heater comes on, regardless of where I place it.
The last two usually work but still give random false positives.
From what I'm reading, there are a lot of complaints about these. I probably should have done some research before I bought them. I can't shake the feeling that I'm doing something wrong. Is ITEAD really selling a motion sensor that just doesn't work properly?
I don't see any commands listed under "Manage Zigbee Device" that allow for a sensitivity change, and I can't find a datasheet or a manual for these other than the basic "quick start" guide. As far as I can tell, there's no firmware update available, either.
Am I stuck replacing all of these? If so, any suggestions on better ones? I've read good reviews of the Hue motion sensors, but they're not cheap.
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.
