#Tuya Zigbee motion sensors latched on problem.

Hey all,

I know this has come up before but I just got some tuya motion sensors. When integrated into home assistant they latch on, never resetting to the "off" state.

I can observe the motion sensor in the SmartLife app the state shows the movement detection and also the movement reset some seconds later. In home assistant the sensor triggers on the dashboard but stays on from then.

If I manually reset the sensor state via the developer tools it does retrigger again after that.

This leads me to suspect a problem with the TUYA integration. Either the clear state isn't being transmitted or processed by the integration.

I know the integration relies on the internet so it could also be that only the trigger state is being sent by whatever api is involved.

Anyone found a fix for this? I know there are other integrations and/or MQTT processing but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

thanks guys/gals

Well, I'm not an expert but the ZigBee connections doesn't need the Tuya integrations. I have several ZigBee sensors connected via Zigbee2MQTT and working perfectly without Tuya involved. Maybe faulty ones?

as op said, smartlife says correct state of sensor, so no faulty ones i guess, take a look at your zigbee config and/or reset sensors by long press.

#

if those sensors are the only reason to have tuya installed, get rid of tuya asap 😉

update on this.
No, I'm not throwing the gear out. I have 8 window sensors and two buttons that work perfectly fine.

Looked into the mqtt stuff, but i'd need to get a new dongle and I'm way too old/grumpy to do all that setup bs.

I'm going to look into making the automation reset the state as I've already demonstrated that doing that makes it work fine. It's the least effort option that doesn't involve me spending money (yes, grumpy and cheap, form an orderly queue, ladies)

I've thrown away my Tuya devices to my non HA family and friends. They are very happy. But I already don't understand. If the devices are ZigBee, there's no need to use Tuya, IMHO.

did not say throw away tuya devices, but tuya app...
