Pros & Cons

Pros

The st dth works very well and very fast overall. Great customer support and great packaging. The only downside is the price.

This is the first z-wave plus device i have set up. It is zwave so must have a zwave hub. You have to be a little savvy to install a custom device handler.

Most bothersome is that none of the seven motion sensitivity levels ignore my cats. If you move your hand quickly in front of the sensor it will not pick it up most times. I will probably keep the zooz sensors for humidity/temperature purposes only an...  Read More

The battery lasts for only about 10 days. The sensor tells you to throw away your batteries when they in fact they are still very healthy, and commenters respond with “eats batteries!

In some rooms that have relatively dim overhead light fixtures and not much direct sun in the windows, the difference between light and dark is painfully small. It reports 100% light level in med to low light then drops rapidly when it gradually becom...  Read More

    This device does not show lux but instead uses a percentage of light

    If you are looking for something to use with lux automation do not choose this device
