Making Aqara Motion Sensor is detected every two minutes change to 5 seconds.（Making Xiaomi Motion Sensor a Super Motion Sensor）

Making Xiaomi Motion Sensor a Super Motion Sensor -Making Xiaomi Motion Sensor is detected every two minutes change  to 5 seconds.

Usually Xiaomi motion sensor is detected every two minutes. But with a little work, you can change that time to 5 seconds.

A year ago I made my Xiaomi motion sensors to Super motion sensors. Even after a year, Xiaomi motion sensors are working very well.

This method is applicable to both Xiaomi original motion sensor and Aqara version motion sensor.

This hardware motion sensor hack

https://livebywant.tistory.com/13?category=703455

This hardware motion sensor hack allows motion to be detected every 5 seconds, however it still takes 300 seconds to reset the state to off.

Set State script

Here is an updated script that has been generalized to be able to set any attribute.

#==================================================================================================

#==================================================================================================

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set the state or other attributes for the entity specified in the Automation Action
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

inputEntity = data.get('entity_id')
if inputEntity is None:
    logger.warning("===== entity_id is required if you want to set something.")
else:    
    inputStateObject = hass.states.get(inputEntity)
    inputState = inputStateObject.state
    inputAttributesObject = inputStateObject.attributes.copy()

    for item in data:
        newAttribute = data.get(item)
        logger.debug("===== item = {0}; value = {1}".format(item,newAttribute))
        if item == 'entity_id':
            continue            # already handled
        elif item == 'state':
            inputState = newAttribute
        else:
            inputAttributesObject[item] = newAttribute
        
    hass.states.set(inputEntity, inputState, inputAttributesObject)

Instructions on how to setup Python scripts within Home Assistant
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/python_script

step 1.Create the folder <config>/python_scripts

/home/homeassistant20221103/python_scripts

step 2.Create a file <config>/python_scripts/hello_world.py in the folder and give it this content:
