It would be helpful if you could do one or both of these things with the RFXtrx connected to your Vera, debug enabled for the RFXtrx and activating the motion sensor:
Look in the Vera log to find out if any messages are posted in response to the sensor
While activating the sensor watch the RFXtrx settings page, noticing what shows up at the bottom after “Last received message:”. The first three pieces of the message are important. The first two are probably 08 20. What is the third piece?
OK - the RFXtrx plugin code doesn’t expect the status that’s being reported by the Kerui device. The plugin sees your device as a door/window sensor. Is this a PIR sensor or a Door/Window sensor? What is the model number? I have a Kerui door/window sensor with a model number of D026. The plugin doesn’t really handle this device either.
Right now there isn’t anything you can do to make this be seen and automatically created by the plugin. You might be able to add the device manually but the plugin still will not recognize the status being sent. I will have to modify the plugin code to make it work. The problem is that the device is being seen as a door sensor but the status being sent is that of a motion sensor. I’ll see if I can just respond to that status in the door sensor code. I’ll respond here when I have updated code.
if there’s anything you can do to make it work - it will be great.
this sensors are operating both on batteries as well as 5V micro USB, and are very cheap and reliable.
also - how can I add it as “door sensor” ?
trying to add through the plugin interface is not working for me… do you have any hints ?
Again, there is nothing you can do at this point. Even if you could add it as a door sensor, the message it sends will still be sending a status that the plugin does not handle. I hope to have something you can try sometime tomorrow.
OK, upload the attached file. The changes should only impact the receipt of motion messages that appear to come from door sensors. Let me know how it works for you.
