The Snzb-06P is not working properly. Sometimes it detects a person very late, sometimes it detects immediately, and sometimes it perceives that there is a person for a long time even when no one is present. Even when I unplug it, it still appears to be online in the application for a very long time. In two videos, the motion sensor triggers slowly, while in one, it triggers very quickly. ---

and I will add. It also happens that the sensitivity settings and detection duration are lost. Your complaints cannot be fixed in any way. This is a feature of this product and most likely cannot be fixed by software. I assume that this is a hardware problem. I hope that Sonoff will release a more stable device with greater capabilities, otherwise compared to other devices from other brands, this is like a broken toy for children!!! ---

You are right, I think the snzb-06p has hardware problem. The snzb-04 door/window sensor also had a delayed trigger, but this problem was resolved in the snzb-04p. ---

I agree the **SNZB-06P** seems to be broken. I have two and the both seem very hit and miss. I expected **SNZB-03P** (PIR) to have faster reaction than **SNZB-06P** (5GHz CW/FM-CW) because of the technology difference. My observations so far are. The 5GHz signal penetrates concrete walls enough that you can be detected behind a wall. Also having two **SNZB-06P** in adjoining rooms can cause both to be blind. Working with a single **SNZB-06P** the time to initial detection can be as long as 10 seconds. The **SNZB-06P** will randomly cycle between person present and no person present with one or two people in the room. **This is un-desirable behavior, you can be watching a movie and the light will turn on and off regardless how much movement or how still you try to be.** ---

SNZB-06P is difficult to set. It works best when set (sensitivity - low or medium, detection time - 50 seconds). Scene set to motion detection or no motion. (do not select light, dark) set in a room so that it does not catch through walls and is not directed at metal surfaces. ---

Thank you. I will try ---

How about we use the snzb-03p for the light to turn on quickly? If someone is in the room, we could use the snzb-06p to prevent it from turning off. I think using both together would solve the problem. ---

If you have these two devices then of course you can do this. Snzb-03p turns on the light and no movement on snzb-06p turns off the light. ---

👍 This is the best until Snzb-06p is developed. ---

Bende yukarıdaki sorunların hepsini yaşadım, bu sensör kararlı çalışmıyor. Zigbee bridge pro ile çok hızlı çalışıyordu, bridge Ultra ile tetikleme süresi 5 saniye oldu, hatta bazen daha fazla bile oluyor. Bu durumu nasıl düzeltenilirim nilmiyorum ---

Düzeltemeyiz diye düşünüyorum bence sorun donanımsal. Snzb-04 kapı sensörüde geç tetikleniyordu daha sonradan çıkarttıkları snzb-04p ile bu sorunu çözdüler. Ben varlık sensörünün yanına snzb-03p hareket sensörünü eklemeyi düşünüyorum çünkü hareket sensörü daha kararlı ve daha hızlı. Işıkların açılmasını hareket sensörü yapar odada birisi varken ışıkların kapanmamasını da varlık sensörü halletmiş olur ---

Bridge pro ile herşey yolunda iken bridge ultra ile tetikleme süresinin 5 saniyenin üzerine çıkmış olması benim aklıma yazılımsal olarak düzeltilmesi gereken bir sorun gibi geldi ---

Yanlışınız olmasın minimum algılama süresi 15 saniye zaten 5 saniye mümkün değil hareket sensörü ile karıştırıyor olmayın ![IMG_7755](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/ewelinkforum/original/2X/0/00bcd6da71f6d5f2c0dbec71ff6ee824507a6e19.jpeg) ---

Tam olarak bahsettiğim konu, sensörün bridge pro ile çalışırken sahneleri 1 saniyede tetikliyordu. Bridge ultra kullanmaya başlayınca sahne tetikleme hızı 5sani falan oldu. Yani mutfağa girince hemen ışıklar yanmıyor, 4 yada 5 saniye sonra ışıklar yanıyor. ---

What is the zigbee hub you use? Are you using local zigbee hub, such as iHost or cube ? or using cloud, such as zigbee bridge pro ? I also experienced such randomness, sometime it can trigger very quick, sometime it has delay. I have assumption that it is because I use cloud zigbee hub (zbbridge-p): In order to trigger something, it need to connect to the internet first, when connection smooth, it triggered very quick. Now, I am experimenting with cube (local hub) to check whether it has difference (local vs cloud). ---

I use the zigbee bridge ultra.The SNZB-06P presence sensor has a minimum re-trigger interval of 15 seconds. If you enter the room in the 6th second of that 15-second period, it won’t detect you again. After the 15 seconds are over, a new detection cycle starts and fresh data is sent. I solved this issue in the following way: In my kitchen, I use the SNZB-06P presence sensor together with the SNZB-03P motion sensor, because the SNZB-03P has a re-trigger interval of 5 seconds. The SNZB-03P turns the lights on, and the SNZB-06P keeps the lights on as long as someone is inside. If no one is present, it turns the lights off. So, since the SNZB-03P has a shorter re-trigger time, I use it to start the scenario. In my bathroom, I use the SNZB-06P together with the SNZB-04P door sensor. When the SNZB-04P detects the door opening, it quickly turns the lights on. Then the SNZB-06P checks whether someone is still inside and keeps the light on or turns it off accordingly.
