GDO blaQ with 889LM motion works locally but motion status still does not update in SmartThings

Hi Nate,

I wanted to start a new topic for this because the original thread may have looked resolved, but my actual issue is still not fixed.

I have a GDO blaQ paired with SmartThings and a LiftMaster/Chamberlain 889LM wall control. The motion sensor itself is working on the wall panel. When I walk into the garage, the light turns on automatically, so I know the motion function is active and the physical SENSOR switch on the 889LM is ON.

The problem is that SmartThings still does not update or display the motion status correctly.

What I have confirmed so far:

  • The 889LM is installed and motion works locally

  • The GDO blaQ is otherwise working properly

  • SmartThings can see the door and other statuses

  • The motion section in SmartThings is still blank or does not update

  • This has continued even after firmware update and reinstall

In my earlier testing, the logs appeared to show the light state changing:

  • around 05:02:23 when I walked in and the motion sensor turned the light on by itself

  • around 05:02:29 when I manually pressed the light button on the wall panel to turn it back off

So the opener and wall control seem to be reacting properly, but SmartThings is still not getting usable motion status.

Could you take another look at this? It seems like the motion capability is functioning on the hardware side, but not being reported correctly into SmartThings.

If needed, I can provide:

  • my device ID

  • current firmware version

  • screenshots

  • log output
