New PIR Node: How to Troubleshoot
Post Body

Just created a new node with a Wemos D1 Mini and a PIR motion sensor. It always shows "detected" in Home Assistant. How do I go about figuring out what the problem is?

I can't tell if the sensor itself is bad, maybe the connections aren't soldered correctly? It's powered via the USB and a 5v 2A phone charger. The ESPHome logs show that it's connecting to the wifi and seems to be working, although I don't see anything regarding motion being detected, I'm not sure if that's to be expected.

Can anyone give me some advice?

Thanks in advance.
