Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Once paired with vera ui7, it shows up as temperature, motion and light sensors. I use it principally for motion detection - to turn on a light in the kitchen when someone walks in. The tilt sensor works perfectly every time, the illumination meter is...  Read More

The cr123a battery included in the packaging seems to have given me a good battery life. Remember to use a lithium ion battey for a longer life.



Cons

It's not configurable in any form or fashion for temperature or vibration. Works for a coupe of months. Fibaro’s support is nonexistent.

Nexia's product is garbage. My hope is that they charge their sales commission back to nexia for promoting these flawed devices.

Competitiveness


Just the other week i found out my smartthings hub died so i bought a 3rd gen smartthings hub


It paired easily with my smartthings controller


For those who have battery issues id suggest ignoring the battery percentage values reported by your zwave hub and only bother ...  Read More

    The mounting system needs a little attention


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It doesnt grip the sensor very well and i wouldnt trust it to be mounted on a door or any place it may get bumped


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The mount barely grips the sensor and can easily fall out


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The only iffy thing is the mounting clip


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This little motion sensor is best if using fibaro home center sensor have lots of configurations but only in home center


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If i install it on difrent hub this sensor is verified limited it will send temperature motion and lux but there is no way to configure anything on this sensor
