Motion Sensor value as "Sensor ON/OFF" instead of "Motion/No Motion"
Hi all,
I have created my own device using z-uno. First I added one motion sensor. Currently I'm using two sensor at the same time, and my final target is to set all 10 available channels as motion sensors.
Basically with my current sketch all is working fine. Frankly speaking this dev board is amazing if you're interested in DIY.
My question is related about how Zipato is recognizing the device. Even I set the channel as SENSOR_BINARY_MOTION when I perform the inclusion the system is recognizing it as General Switch.
Of course this type can me changed from Device Manager, but even I'm doing it, the sensor status I can see is not "Motion" or "No Motion". Instead I can see "Sensor ON" or "Sensor OFF"
It really don't seems a big problem, but I don't know if it can affect to future rules I can create using them.
Screenshot is attached just in case my explanation is not so clear.
The same question 
Pedro,
This would have to be a request to Zipato Support, the "issue" (not really) is on the descriptor, but since Z-UNO can have any kind of sensor I guess this make more sense in general. However is nice to see somebody is using this device, I'm interested on it, currently integrating an arduino YUN through HTTP requests to Zipabox. Please let me know your overall opinion on this, I'm really considering getting a few.

Hi Alberto.
I will open a ticket including this information, even I'm not sure if Zipato team will spend time to investigate a topic regarding z-uno. Moreover because I don't have a controller from another branch I cannot check it's it related with z-uno it self (even I'm using the exact part of the motion sensor code 'certificated' by the Z-Wave Alliance).
Regarding z-uno device my target is to run two units and use motion, temperature and light sensors (six of each) to cover almost all my home.
At the moment all the test I performed in bench have had a good result.
In fact, I'm used to Arduino and have all this flexibility but creating native z-wave devices is amazing.
Unfortunately the price is still a little bit high compared with other prototyping boards (I'm not sure if currently they need to pay royalties or not to Sigma). But anyway the result if you like DIY... is a up to native 10 channels in your controller per z-uno board (60€).
Regarding HTTP request devices I'm using nodeMCU. Basically because de cost is under 10€ and it's programmed from Arduino IDE. I have one unit reporting the moisture of a ficus using zipato virtual sensor, dual color led and web server (last part just to play).
The bad part is that seems there is no way to use intranet for reporting virtual sensors an I must connect to myzipato.com over internet.
I don't wanna do that for important sensors (so I'm going to use z-uno), but for other purposes nodeMCU is a really cheap, easy to use and low power consumption hardware.

I also have been interested on playing with the ESP8266 however I cannot find them in Mexico and also I heard about their

Hi,
Zipato descriptor show state that device send to it. This is related to device and probably it cannot be changed.
Best regards,

Hi, Pedro Rojas!I also use Z-Uno. Now it supports up to 30 channels! I use 8 temperature sensors, 2 motion sensors, 10 switches and 6 binary sensors on one Z-Uno and it all works well! Motion detectors are also defined as on / off, but this is not so important. Bad with temperature sensors, they can not be used in rules (no attributes). But in virtual thermostats, they can be used, strange ... I contacted the developers of Z-Uno and they are ready to cooperate with Zipato. I opened a ticket about this and they told me that Z-Uno was partially supported by Zipato. Do you get to use Z-Uno temperature sensors in the rules?
