“Love them. I've got 4 of these sensors and have had no issues linking them to my Fibaro HCL. To be honest, I havent tried any other brands and with their elegant design and ease of inclusion I probaly never will”
“The design is great, very evocative and even the other half likes it. Ideally I would have the HomeSeer HSM100, but they are discontinued, so these are a good alternative. They are set up in HS easily (but renaming takes a while).
Can't use them outdoors (I've tried) water gets into the casings surprisingly - did wonder about recasing them.
But, surprise, surprise you CAN use them on 5V - I've been running a few off of a (5V) USB PSU - both froma Netbook and via a much higher rated plugin PSI and it's been fine.
I LIKE mains devices, batteries cost a lot and, yes, I've tried the rechargeable CR123's and they don't last either.
Also means I can set the reporting to be more frequently.
Downside is that I can't tell it that it is now a routing node (could with the HSM100's - sigh, I miss them).
I will be using these, but wired and indoors.”
“Was way smaller than I thought it would be, got it set up with my Vera Plus in no time. With it being so small it is easy to install and have it fairly hidden without loosing any field of vision.”
“Have two of these connected to Samsung Smartthings, they are both roughly 10-12 metres from the hub. They are far smaller than the picture suggests - golf ball sized. Am using them to switch a light on when motion and it's dark, which just needs the illumation setting tweaked. No light shows unless motion detected.”
