Aeotec TriSensor, Z-Wave Plus S2 Enabled Zwave Motion Sensor, Temperature, Light Sensor, Work with Zwave Hub Smartthings 3-in 1 Security System, Battery Powered

I bought TriSensor to be used as a environmental monitor and motion presence detector for my room, It does everything it needs especially as a presence sensor.Pros:+ Has configuration to allow it to act as a presence sensor, does this by default (and can be disabled if needed)+ Accurate temp sensor+ Lux Sensor much more accurate that Multisensor 6+ Easy to understand parameter settings (offset sensors to increase accuracy, LED color configurable)+ Threshold settings automatically send reports quickly+ Same size as Multisensor 6+ Fits in the same recessor that Multisensor 6 uses.Cons:+ Does not have USB connection like Multisensor 6 and requires CR123A batteries+ Requires a custom device handler on SmartThings, but Aeotec provides this in their support page.

I have this set up to turn on/off my Hue kitchen lights based on motion and light level in the room using SmartThings. Working great.The unit's light sensor is helpful because it means you are only triggering the room lights to turn on when it is actually dark. SmartThings lets you include this parameter when programming the action to turn on the lights.With SmartThings, you can also program the room light(s) to turn off when motion is not detected for a period of time. This motion sensor is accurate enough to handle it.It has a noticeable green light in the upper-right corner of the front face that flashes when it detects motion. It is noticeable and brighter than typical. According to the documentation and some forums, you can access the customization parameters to disable the green light and adjust a few other parameters. I didn't dive that deep. These options aren't on the surface in SmartThings and require more advanced knowledge.Of course, you can use this motion sensor as a trigger for all sorts of things. I'm just using it for my Hue lights.I'm not using the temperature sensor but it does work.Overall, I am satisfied with this sensor. It reliably picks up motion and the light sensor makes it perfect for my application. I am getting no false triggers. Plus, it's small. The only downside is the green light on motion. It's a little bright. Minor.(photo: the motion sensor is sitting next to a SmartThings button on a shelf in front of a window)

I have this sensor next to a Honeywell and WH31E temperature sensor all indoors within 12 inches of each other. Both other sensors agree that it is 74 degrees F, the Aeotec sensor reads 78.8 F. Come on guys, its temperature, how hard could it be? The motion sensor works fine. I can't tell how accurate the light sensor is but it seems to reflect light and dark appropriately. But being so inaccurate on temperature is not useful to me as I need to detect freezing versus non-freezing so a 4.8 degree swing at room temperature is a non-starter.Update 3/23/2022This device is incredibly unreliable when integrated with Smartthings routines. I set a temperature alert and it sent a notification exactly once and never again. I added a battery alert and a motion alert and the temperature notifications just stopped. I've confirmed the routine is there, confirmed the device was awake, monitored all the events in debug mode and... nothing. At the very least I would not plan on using this with smartthings unless you want to spend days trying to figure out why it wont consistently do what it is clearly setup correctly to do.Update 2/22/2025Something happened with the acquisition of smartthings with Aeotec. I've got a house full of Aeotec devices that are either offline or not working properly. The whole move to Edge drivers was a disaster. Don't invest in this brand of automation. All my outlets are offline with no solution and all my Trisensors no longer report battery status or allow configuring F vs C or adding routines. Invest in some other brand of home automation. I've been totally burned by investing in this mess.
