“I am very pleased with this Fibaro universal door/window sensor. It was simple to fit (comes supplied with adhesive pads and screws) and paired easily with the Vera Lite controller, triggers reliably and also gives you the option to fit a temperature sensor and a binary input which makes it a very flexible device.”
“Now owning several of these units, I can confirm that once installed and configured, they work reliably and successfully.
I have found them a little tricky to pair with my vera 3, but once done, they work well. The hardest bit is installing a DS18B20 thermometer. The internal space allocated is extremely small, and if you happen to allow yourself a little too leg room to play with on the thermometer, you end up not being able to fit the lid on the door sensor. Be ready with various thin-nosed pliers in order to shoe-horn the DS18B20 into place.
Ignoring the installation issues, however, it's a good bit of kit. The battery life is definitely over a year (remains to be seen whether it'll actually get to 2 years, as advertised), on a door which opens at LEAST once per day, often more frequently.”
“I have them set up at the office, monitoring the roller shutters and controlling the lighting scenes. As soon as the shutters go up the scenes are activated and when they come down the lock down scenes are triggered faultlessly. Excellent produt.”
“As soon as my front gate is opened it triggers a scene to switch the tv to cctv, does need you to click 7 times when first including it in vera.
Good product.”
“A small, easy to (physically) install door sensor that works exactly how it should. Very responsive and quick to send its status, especially if associated with other z-wave devices. I did find it a little tricky to Include with my Vera 3, but got there eventually. Definitely worth pointing out that if you intend to use a temperature sensor with this device, make sure you wire in the sensor before including to your z-wave controller. Otherwise you'll have to exclude and re-include this door sensor (which, considering how fiddly the inclusion process is, is not something you'll want to do too often!).
But other than the rather tricky inclusion process, I'm very pleased with this unit, and will be buying further sensors in due course.”
“Works Brilliantly, you have a good 1cm gap between the mag and sensor allowing for good placement. after configuring it correctly with poll and wake setting the battery life has stabilised. I'll be getting a few more of these!”
“Work very well as a door sensor and as a binary input. Tried another with the temperature sensor and the temperature bit never seemed to work properly.”
“I use it with Raspberry Pi + RaZberry, it worked fine, but after 2 days an internal magnet sensor has broken. Now I have to use an external magnet sensor that connected to IN-line.”
