My hallway lights are controlled by a MTG275-ZB-RL which works fine despite Tuya MmWave being notorious about Zigbee spam, but this is not about this.

Yesterday I have noticed that my lights will not turn off because they were seeing someone at about 3m from the sensor when there was clearly no one there. So I do what any one of us normal Home Assistant users would do.

I start checking the Zigbee logs, I mess with the configuration, and it has tons. I changed something, it would turn off, then without any reason turn back on. It drove me nuts.

In the end I gave it up as being faulty after 2 years of daily use and was searching for a replacement. I already had the automation I needed to turn it off during the night so it wont keep the lights on until Ali would deliver.

So after about one hour of doing this my wife comes downstairs and casually says: I told you to be careful when carrying the groceries in, we have a fly in the hallway!
