Subsequent motions are not being sent to the hub (smartthings)

[Nadgob 0]

Hello,

 

I have a few fibro motion sensors (the round cat eye) linked to my smartthings hub. I have an automation where a light is being turned on when there is motion.

 

Now - If there is no motion for a longer period of time, when I walk in the room the LED turns on for about 1 second, and the light turns on. I can see the "motion detected" event being sent to the hub.

 

However - if I am in the room for a longer period of time, on subsequent movements the led blinks quickly (1/8 a second or so), and no subsequent motion event is being sent to the hub. I want events to be sent to the hub every 5 seconds or so if there is continuous movement.

 

I looked at the sensor settings, and have set all to values that should make it very responsive:

• Motion sensitivity: High
• Motion detection
  • Blind time: 1s
  • Alarm cancellation delay: 1
  • Operating mode: Always Active
• Tamper Cancellation Delay: 1

 

Any idea as to what do I need to set so that the sensor sends motion events more frequently?

 

illuminanceInterval	number	3600
illuminanceThreshold	number	200
ledBrightness	number	50
ledHighBrightness	number	1000
ledLowBrightness	number	100
ledMode	enum	10
logging	boolean	false
motionBlindTime	enum	1
motionCancelationDelay	number	1
motionNightDay	number	200
motionOperatingMode	enum	0
motionSensitivity	enum	15
tamperCancelationDelay	number	1
tamperOperatingMode	enum	0
temperatureThreshold	enum	10

You're not stating this, but I guess you've implemented the timeout for the light (e.g. OFF after 30s) somewhere else, but do not use this feature within the Fibaro eye. I have a similar setup and want the Fibaro eye to send ON commands each time a motion is detected. In order to reach this I've set Param 6 (alarm cancellation) to a shorter periord than Param 2 (blind time). But careful Param 2 is defined in 0.5x+1 seconds and Param 6 in full seconds. For example I keep Param 2 at the default of 15 (15/2+1 = 8.5s) and set Param 6 to 5s.

Also I've set Parma 12 to 1, so only ON commands are sent.

 

Hope this helps.
