Question

Question: why does my aqara Motion Sensor Report not connected when though connected. (Reconnected 12 hours ago and works. But Status does Not Change). Need to reboot smarttuings Hub?  

Answer 1

Have given up on the Xiaomi sensors. I have had about 10 devices and have been slowly phasing them out. They have been reliable on the whole but when they drop off it's too much hassle trying to pair them again. Like you I have them joined back, sometimes it all looks good but drops odd again. Have changed a few motion sensors out with the IKEA ones which I find are very good and easy to add!

Thanks. Ikea Sensors not Sold yet in Russia. Will reboot the smartthings Hub. And If it helps Programm an Autorenboot every twondays as with router.

@ormsby1 dont think that will help. You have to keep re-adding it again, it could take a few attempts to get it to work though.  

Answer 2

Try to reset the battery within the device settings within the classic app. It seems like a random measure, which sometimes did work though. But as @progressionist says, these aqara sensors tend to fall offline even in close range to the hub and are not reliable- i am going to change them a bit at a time.  

Answer 3

Yes. Unplugged SmartThings hub and then plugged in. Issue above was solved. Showed connected again. So for me this seems more like a SmartThings hub issue. Let’s see if Aqara motion sensor stays connected.
