Ikea movement sensor not working

Hello,
I have installed the new Homey PRO just last week. So I am kind of a freshmen.

But I am running in to some problems.
I have the Valthorn senso from Ikea and it does not react as it used to do with Ikea Dirigera. Lights (under bed led strip when going to the toilet in the middle of the night) are not turning on when expected. Sensor stays activated for a very long time. Led not turning on.
Also tried activating an automation with Homekit (Homekitty) but also not working.

Tried searching the topics, but could not find a good solution.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Hi
The Valthorn has a build-in delay specified in the advanced settings (see screenshot). Mine is set to 10sec.
This is the amount of time the signal remains active after the last movement

“Helderheid wordt minder dan 300 lx” is something that only happens once when it gets dark in your room.

So the upper part of your flow will only happen once.

You need to reverse it:

“Wanneer beweging is gedetecteerd” en dan “Helderheid minder dan 300 lx” dan ….

Duidelijk. Nu aangepast

Zou dit kunnen werken?

Is at 20sec. tried to change but giving connection errors.

battery 100% and applied the maintenance to reconnect. Still no connection.

Despite detecting motion (even ater 202sec)

I assume this is a battery powered device. You need to wake up such devices just before you save changes, via the physical button on the device. Otherwise it will be asleep and does not respond.

When motion is detected, and the sensor went offline before it could report “no motion”, the motion detected flag usually stays up.
In fact it’s the last known state reported by the sensor, not an “sensor still works” indicator.

Probably it’s on the edge of the mesh network range.
Add (a) 230V powered zigbee / Thread device(s) to Homey in between Homey.
Useful zigbee info:

Oh, these sensors don’t function properly with normal batteries. You have to use rechargeable ones
