Description of πŸ“‘ FIBARO Motion Sensor Z-Wave Plus Multisensor with Temperature, Light Intensity & Accelerometer - FGMS-001 (Not Compatible with HomeKit)

All you need: dependable motion alerts, quick light reports, real-time temperature readings, and vibration notifications sent straight to your z-wave hub. Use them to automatically trigger smart lighting, security sirens, or your connected thermostat. And more: all data is transmitted to your system using encrypted signals, protected by tamper alerts. With the multifunctional led, you can access temperature readings and test your z-wave signal straight from the device. Plus you get over 20 advanced settings to customize the sensor and make it your own!. Hub required: this sensor will work beautifully with any open z-wave system like smart things, Vera, nexia, home center lite, or home seer. It is not supported by wink or alarm panels ( pulse, alarm, and others). this is the z-wave version, not for apple home kit. Ultra small: install the smallest 4-in-1 sensor anywhere without ruining the view. It attaches to any flat surface with a single screw or a piece of adhesive (both included). hide it well or show it off using the flexible mounting bracket and customizable led indicator. You're covered: this is a z-wave plus certified and ul listed device created and built in Europe from quality materials. Support portal and documentation are available on the Fibaro website so if you ever need help, just ask!.

Almost all settings were supported through the app on my phone. The only thing I had to adjust in the API was the interval at which movement was checked. I need near-instant motion detection so the steps light up as I approach,

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Socket required

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…

In terms of setup and the overall simplicity of connecting Fibaro to my Z-Wave network

My experience with the Fibaro FGMS-001 was exceptional and during my tests, which included 5 other motion sensors/multisensors, Fibaro stood at the top as the clear winner. In terms of setup and the overall simplicity of connecting Fibaro to my Z-Wave network, the instructions in the manual proved extremely accurate and helpful. There were no problems connecting and it showed up in my home automation panel (home assistant) with no problems. As a prelude I bought 5 of these little guys and for…
