“I have three of these sensors and ther are fantastic, I love the eyeball design, they are very customisable with lots of options. I am using these as part of my home automation system with smartthings, home-assistant and Raspberry Pi3. The only down side is that they don’t measure humidity (are you listening Fibaro?), but I plan to get some more for other areas of the house. Recommend.”
“I have 3 of these and they have been very reliable and the triggering distance is better than others on the market. I had no issues pairing and configuring these in Home Assistant running on a Raspberry Pi3. Would definitely recommend these. I use them to trigger lights and also for Alarm Motion Sensing.”
“This does exactly what it is supposed to do. It is very easy to install and remove. In the HC2/HCL it installs three icons - movement, temperature and lux. It is about 3cm diameter; it is a very nicely designed piece of kit; and is quite discreet when attached to the ceiling.”
“This is my first gen5 fibaro, joining three earlier versions. I use them with Domoticz running on a raspberry pi. Absolutely no problems...they just join and work! I'm using this in a garden building, probably about 7-8 metres from the controller.
I will be interested to see if battery life is longer with this generation, I get around 10months to a year out of the earlier mods.
Recommended.”
“I bought these for the adjustable sensitivity (cats) to work with a smartthings hub. I had a few hiccups with the smartthings hub seeing the sensor as a window sensor. To resolve this I had to manually change the device handler in the developers options. To adjust the sensor, if you're using a smartthings hub you'll need to use a custom device handler. They now work a treat picking up human movement but not the cat.”
“This is a great bit of kit, fitted easily and looks great. The only thing i have a problem at the moment with the range, its in the back room pointing at the doors but takes a fair bit to activate it. I will spend more time on it to check it out just in case,....”
