Problem with fibaro motion sensor

What type of Fibaro MotionSensor do you have? Maybe it’s the MS for Apple HomeKit FGBHMS-001?, :man_shrugging:t3:

Which app are u using to add the device?
And in the case ur using the Fibaro app, which version is it?
What color does the led on the sensor give when u tripple press it? (fast tripple press is like 3 times within 1 second, hit it like u mean it)

Whaoou, sorry guys, I was just not expecting such a quick answer. Thanks a lot.
So the model is FGMS-001, not the homekit one, indeed.

I am not using the Fibaro app.
I am going directly by Homey app on android. version 6.2.0.652. I guess it is the current one.
And indeed, sorry, I should have said, the fibaro get light blue for a bit of time, like 1min more or less, but switch back off without success.

But u have downloaded the Fibaro app on ur Homey?
And then (on ur Homey) devices/add device/pick Fibaro as brand/pick the sensor?

Oh yes sorry, I though you were meaning phone app, my bad, I am new to Homey.
Yes, I did download the version v2.4.6 and the editor is Athom B.V (which should be a good sign).

Then to be crystal clear, I go to devices, press + for add devices, then it is in my suggested brand, I choose … Fibaro, then I choose Motion sensor (with the accurate drawing of my device in it) and I also tryed with Motion sensor (Z-wave). Then It ask me to connect, I press the button, then there is a drawing showing 2 steps, first step is pressing the button 3 times and I do it. Never go in step 2.
Hope it clarifies.

The one thing u didn’t do yet is reset the motion sensor so maybe worth a shot:

  1. Press and hold the B-button.
  2. Wait for the device to indicate desired position with a colour:
    • YELLOW - device reset
  3. Release the B-button.
  4. Click the B-button to confirm selection.

I did but will try again, I didn’t understood it was reset.
Thanks for the tip.

After reset the led will turn red.
After that go to the developer site and check ur Zwave for devices.

Ok will do. Question: how long should I wait? After 1 min can I considere that it is not seeing the device?

Wait after the tripple press u mean?
Like 3 seconds.

I went to it but don’t really understand what to do here. I am on the Z wave menu.

Then it looks like there is no devices visable yet.
Ur sure u did not buy a Russion version?

Doesn’t look like. But my Fibaro is Z wave plus.
When I look in the homey app it is talking about Z-wave.
Is there Homey versions not compatible Zwave plus ?

Ok I cheked. Homey 2016 is absolutely compatible with Zwave plus, no change on that matter.

Also funny u never added a Zwave device before. U have a Homey for like 5 years and just added a CoCo device? Or u just bought the Homey from Ebay? Is the time zone of ur Homey the same as u bought the Fibaro sensor for?
Like timezone Homey Europe and Fibaro sensor EU?
Just trying to help.
Ow, one more thing:
Did u try a new battery? The only way to know if the battery is ok is to measure it.

Sorry, the forum didn’t allow me to answer you yesterday due to my message quota as a newbie.
Anyway, you are 100% true, my fibaro is US, 908Mhz. My Homey is european.
It is plain dead :-(.

Then buy a EU Fibaro sensor because they are not gonna work together because of the difference in MHz.

The Z-Wave protocol uses 868,4 MHz radio frequency in Europe, 908,4 MHz in
USA and 921.4 in AUS/NZ on unlicensed ISM bands. The protocol was launched
with 9600 b/s data transmission but it has been raised to 40Kbps. Both versions
of the protocol are compatible.
