An AppDaemon app to reset Xiaomi Aqara motion sensors after a given timeout.
This hardware motion sensor hack allows motion to be detected every 5 seconds, however it still takes 300 seconds to reset the state to off. This app will motions sensor state to off after a given timeout, e.g. 5 seconds. Together your Xiaomi Aqara motion sensors can toggle state on or off every 5 seconds.
- Make sure you have the option "Enable AppDaemon apps discovery & tracking". This is located in: Configuration -> Integrations -> HACS (options).
- Restart HA
- Go to HACS -> Automation -> search for "Aqara Motion Sensors" and install it.
- Follow app configuration section.
ℹ️ NOTE: If you also ControllerX, then you might have naming conflicts within HACS. To get around this you can rename either of the two integrations to e.g.
aqaramotionin thecustom_componentsfolder and do the same in yourapps.yaml.
Download the aqara directory from inside the apps directory to your local apps directory, then configure the aqara module in apps.yaml.
