I have 2 human body sensors and these are just new, but after the update 2.0 it really does not work anymore. I thought it was in the distance but it can not be that even if zigbee is less than z-wave ( max distance ).

TED; thanks.

I only got 10 devices paired on Zigbee (9 plus homey).  
7 door sensors and 2 body motion sensors.  
Adding additional sensors (door sensor or temp sensor) is possible w/o any struggle. However: Not even one more (Aqara) Body motion sensor or vibration sensor can be added.  
When I kick the app and reinstall it I can start w/ Zero, adding again only 2 of the motion sensors.  
It’s an issue that’s not related to the physically sensors as I can add 2 other Aqara motion sensors instead of the 2 I added before.  
Instead of them I could pair 2 vibration sensors and after that no more body motion or vibration sensors.

One day I made it to 3! But no chance… First I thought I was just to dumb to catch up w/ the very special pairing routine. But there’s more than meets the eye here!

Can I help you to find out what’s wrong there by submitting kinda log or something ?  
Cheers !

Have the feeling that the sensors aren’t giving back their state as often as before, is that possible? Reason for me asking is that I have temperature sensors in a flow for the heating in the baby room but often the temperature stays the same for at like an hour while I know, especially with this weather, that the temperature is definitely changing, also on the baby monitor.

I can honestly testify that my body sensors are more reliable since i have updated to 2.0.  
They are quick, responsive and reliable.  
I have four of them connected.

He’s asking about taking the numerical value from a trigger-tag and use it in a condition or action. This issue is solved in phone-app version 247.

Don’t know for sure, am not aware we have beta-phone-apps? But otoh, i’ve seen people (like our master forum-lord @Rocodamelshekima ) saying that might be the case…

@TedTolboom With the latest release of 2.0 yesterday I made it to install many of the devices that couldn’t be added before. (Motion sensor, Vibration sensor…)  
Looks like there was a pretty bug in the RC versions before concerning that issue.
