Aeotec MultiSensor 7, 6-in-1 Zwave Sensors Contains Monitor Motion, Temperatu...

Aeotec never fails to satisfy. This sensor is great for motion detection and is pretty accurate. It's important to remember the proper deployment caveats, but overall, the sensor is easy to deploy and handy to have on each room of you're trying to implement some great home automation.

I bought this to replace a 5-6 year old SmartThings sensor that was going though batteries like there was no tomorrow. I like that I can plug this device in and don't have to worry about battery usage any longer. I also like that it is a multimodality sensor. I am worried that the temperature senor is not calibrated correctly and I have not found a way to correct this. With the SmartThings motion sensor, it also measured room temperature and there was a way to adjust the device so it more accurately measured the room temperature. The Aeotec device doesn't seem to have a temperature offset. It shows my room about 6 degrees warmer that the other temperature sensing device in my room and it doesn't "seem" to be as hot as the device states that it is. Also, after no movement for a while, when I move and it is dark in the room, there is a momentary flash of light. It is so short it is hard to see, but it is noticeable. I notice it mostly when getting up in the middle of the night for the WC. It's not so bright that it hurts my eyes, but there is definitely a flash. It would be nice of there was not one. I would buy this device again, but those two issues keep it from getting a 5 star rating. The device is much smaller than it appears in the images. It is longer but not any taller or wider that the SmartThings motion sensor that it is replacing, and it can run on electivity instead of battery if one so choses, but can still run on a battery if there is not power at the location.

Absolute garbage. Don't buy. Firmware updates are extremely difficult. Firmware is buggy as heck. My unit is constantly reporting motion is active when it is not. Constantly.

Easy and simple to set up with Smartthings. I had to pair it close to the smart things hub and then move it to the location which was very far from the hub. I am using it hardwired and it is working exactly as I hoped it would. I do wish I could force it to refresh more frequently or on request especially since I have it hardwired so there should be no reason for it to save power as if it were on the battery. The motion detection seems... imperfect, but I am using it primarily for temp and humidity monitoring which works great. The light sensor and uv are surprisingly useful too.The sensors are: Motion, Temperature, Humidity, Illuminance, UV index, Battery, and device tamper alert.

I have 4 of these, all work as expected and I'm very happy with the info they provide.

Just installed Aotec multi sensor this week. Pairing with hub was fine. But could not get motion detection to work. Then noticed in history that vibration alerts were activated at each movement, without touching device. Instead of monitoring for motion, I changed app to report vibration. Now motion detection alerts are working. Sounds like poor QC and testing.

I use a few of these with Home Assistant to trigger lighting and automations based on movement. These have been by far the most reliable motion sensors that I've used and I've tried about a dozen different products. Battery life is great, I've had these for several years and only needed to change the batteries once or twice yet these things are constantly seeing and reporting motion in the house. I use these with Aeotec's Recessor brackets for a flush installation. They are pricey, but if you consider how many cheap products you might throw away because they dont work then this is worth it. I can't speak to support in other platforms but Home Assistant with the default Z-Wave JS works great.

Good purchase. Does just what I need it to, and handles being in my crawl space without losing its connection. Handy little device.
