Xiaomi Home Assistant: Troubleshooting Guide for Motion Detection Issues
in Post with 0 comment

The Xiaomi Home Assistant is a popular smart home system that integrates various devices to provide a seamless and convenient living experience. However, some users have reported issues with the motion detection feature, where the system fails to switch from 'someone is home' to 'nobody is home' status, and the 'no motion' status remains stuck at 30 minutes. This article aims to provide a comprehensive troubleshooting guide to resolve this issue and ensure that the motion detection feature works correctly. \n\n## Step 1: Check Device Details Page\n\nTo begin troubleshooting, enter the device details page and verify that the corresponding sensor entity status is stuck at 'someone is home' and '30 minutes'. This will help you confirm that the issue is indeed related to the motion detection feature.\n\n## Step 2: Verify Expected Behavior\n\nThe expected behavior of the motion detection feature is to provide normal feedback on 'someone is home' or 'nobody is home' status, with 'no motion' status displaying 2, 5, 10, 20, or 30 minutes. If your system is not behaving as expected, proceed to the next step.\n\n## Step 3: Analyze Home Assistant Logs\n\nTo gain more insights into the issue, analyze the Home Assistant logs. Since you have already sent the logs via email, review them to identify any patterns or errors that may be contributing to the problem. Make sure to set the log timezone to Asia/Shanghai to ensure that the logs are displayed in the correct timezone.\n\n## Step 4: Check Home Assistant Core and Operation System Versions\n\nEnsure that your Home Assistant Core version is up-to-date, as outdated versions can cause compatibility issues. Currently, you are running version 2024.12.3, which should be compatible with the Xiaomi Home Integration version v0.1.3. Also, verify that your Home Assistant Operation System version is 14.0 or later.\n\n## Step 5: Consider Additional Context\n\nSince the person sensor is a Zigbee version connected through the Xiaomi multi-gateway 2, and the upper-layer main gateway is the hub gateway, consider the complexity of your smart home setup. The integration of multiple devices and gateways can sometimes cause issues with motion detection.\n\n## Conclusion\n\nBy following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the motion detection issue with your Xiaomi Home Assistant. Remember to always check the device details page, verify expected behavior, analyze Home Assistant logs, check versions, and consider additional context. If the issue persists, you may want to consult the user manual or contact Xiaomi support for further assistance.
