Spent some time this weekend getting some sensors and automations to work and in doing so realised that in the future Spook might be able to help.
I had an automation that should trigger on Motion but I could not get it to work.
The trigger was for state change for Hue Motion sensor triggering on motion detected.
(The motion entity id is binary_sensor.steves_office_motion)
But it would not trigger.
I followed this article zigpy/zha-device-handlers#1393 - disabled the motion sensor, renamed the entity to ..oldmotion, updated the occupancy sensor to type motion and assigned it the original entity name - binary_sensor.steves_office_motion.
Still the automation would not trigger. Eventually I re-selected the motion sensor and then the motion trigger and now it works just fine.
Is this silent failure something that spook could alert on?
