The new LP70 Smart Motion Sensor is now here. See manuals attached. This device works with both L2 and LP2 Link Pluses. It does not work with the old Link1 connect series Links (LW930, LW500).
FAQ:
How does it Operate?
There is a timeout between motion sense events where the device is asleep to save power. It is very likely that you are trying to grab the motion attention for example by waving at the device thinking it should be sending motion events, but it isn't designed like that.
It only sends a signal when it sees new motion, it doesn't repeatedly send motion events as this would waste the battery.
The motion sensor device reports motion events as an when they happen. This will propagate to the Link+ which in turn will trigger automations. The sensor also starts an internal timer, that on expiry will report a no-motion event to the Link+. The length of the timer's timeout is user settable under the sensor settings. If there was a new motion detected by the sensor during the timeout period, the timer will re-start. Note that during the timeout period, there will be no further motion events reported to the Link+. This concept increases battery life and reduces redundant RF traffic.
Also please see below FAQ and instruction guidance as how the device can be added to the app and automation to be setup correctly . Click on the image below.

The light level measurement is logarithmic on a 0-100% scale, meaning that a
small change in the lower levels (0-30%) will have a larger jump, than
the higher region above 50%.
it is difficult to use the light level if the sensor is not pointed
towards the light source, so try to position the sensor to "see" the
light source.

Last time I checked the energy monitor is a sensor. So why nothing shown ?
I would like to point out the site is pretty useless as it stands. Asking someone if it is gen 1 or 2 first is a waste of time. Why not ask for the device first then select gen 1 or 2, which makes more sense.
Same problem here. Is anyone reading this?? Clients not happy LightwaveRF!. I left LightwaveRF for almost 4 years hoping someone will make smart decisions and add PIRs to "smart" series but no ! Lazy engineering team at it's best. I should have picked Philips Hue from the beginning now its too much money to switch away from LightwaveRF. And I noticed they also came up with this £7 per month subscription what a joke... for what?
