Aqara Motion Sensors

Introduction

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.

HACS Installation

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. aqaramotion in the custom_components folder and do the same in your apps.yaml.
