[Scene] Motion detector

Hello,
I have a small issue with my motion detector (SONOFF SNZB-03).

Description
I have a scene that should turn on a light when a detection occurs.

Problem
After creating the scene everything works perfectly but at some point the scene no longer triggers even though my sensor detects me (red LED blinking) and when I trigger the scene via Gladys the lamp lights up correctly. I have the impression that Gladys no longer detects the data sent by my detector.

Does anyone have any idea?

Hello,
Have you added this sensor to your dashboard to see if it’s being properly updated in Gladys?
If not, go up one level and open the Zigbee2mqtt interface:

And check on the Zigbee2mqtt side that the sensor is reporting the information correctly :slight_smile:


I can indeed see that the LQI (Link Quality Indicator) is 0. That means my dongle doesn’t detect it, I think.

Does the Zigbee protocol not work over a network? Because in the same room I have a Hue switch with a bulb which both work fine. There must be some information that I’m missing.

Yes, that does form a mesh network; however, only nodes that are mains-powered (plugged in) act as routers, and not all devices are necessarily routers.

You can visualize the network in Zigbee2mqtt!

Thanks for your quick reply, I understand a bit better. Because I’m using the Hue Bridge, my bulbs don’t participate in the shared mesh network. I need to find a way to expand my mesh network.

I’m slowly but surely building my skills.

Indeed!

You can buy a Zigbee smart plug, for example :slight_smile:
