Review on πŸ“‘ FIBARO Motion Sensor Z-Wave Plus Multisensor with Temperature, Light Intensity & Accelerometer - FGMS-001 (Not Compatible with HomeKit) by Petr Webster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pretty bow tie for a white eye

Update (9-5-20): I've had a 1st gen Smart Things Hub for about 2.5 years and it works great with Fibaro and Alexa routines. Just last week I found out my smartthings hub died so I bought a 3rd gen smartthings hub. With the new hub, Fibaro no longer works with Alexa routines; Samsung and Revain support could not get my procedures working again with my Fibaro. I had to buy Smartthings compatible Wi-Fi devices and install new "automators" in Smartthings to get my automations working again with Fibaro motion sensor. Between the new hub and the new devices, I probably spent $150 and wasted about 5 hours of "tech" support between Revain and Samsung. Moral of the story: the new Smartthings hubs don't appear to have the functionality that the original hub had. So this is my second try to bring the idea to life. (Bought the Apple Exclusive by accident when I needed something to use with Smart Things.) Setup was very easy and quick. All I needed was a motion sensor and when I saw it was an eye I got some ideas for that. costs $45. . not really. Also, I didn't understand how to remove the 2 second delay to turn on the light - I'm hoping this is something that can be built right into Smart Things. Overall I really like it - but it's expensive for a motion sensor. and I'm not a fan of the default lag.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Some difficulties
