Fibaro FGMS-001 Gen 5 Z-Wave Plus Motion Sensor - White,44mm Diameter

As well as this, I've got one of the Aeotec multi-sensors. This is very slightly smaller, and because of the shape slightly less obvious, than the Aoetec sensor. The main downside is that it's only battery powered, and doesn't have the humidity sensor. That said, this is proving a very reliable, effective, device. I'm using it with Home Assistant (via OpenZWave), and it works without issue. The configuration options are good, making it easy to adjust things like the temperature report to account for the fact that it's warmer at the ceiling, or change the thresholds for reports. I've attached it so far with just the double sided pad, and that's holding fine. If you're debating between this and the Aeotec one, then for me it comes down to a choice between a compact install (Fibaro), or more sensors and optionally mains powered (Aeotec).

I have a reasonable number of SmartThings sensors, with this being my first Fibaro sensor added to the Samsung system. Initial thoughts are that it's not a bad little sensor. While not the prettiest, it works and pairs easily with the SmartThings system. After use of it for a week, my views are: + Small and discreet (although Led lights up when it sees you which gives away the sensor's location) + Pairs quickly, works as expected + Multiple sensors in one package Negatives (although not a deal breaker) - LED flashes when one of the sensors activates, such as motion - LUX updates are slow, so some experimentation is needed to find a good lux level where motion lights can activate. - Motion sensing is slower than SmartThings own motion sensor. Takes approx 1 second, where as SmartThings operates almost instantly. I mainly bought this sensor to add LUX/luminance sensing for my system, because using motion sensors that operate lights only when it's dark had to rely on timing or sunset/sunrise settings. These are OK, except they don't take into account for cloudy/dark days, and I frequently found the sunrise/sunset failed if a light came on before the sunset triggered, leaving the light on until the next sunset operation. Adding this sensor to the system has allowed me to replace all the timing parts of my events, so lights are now all operating if the house/outside is dark, which is much better. It has taken some time to find a lux setting that I'm happy with, and moving the sensor around to determine dark settings doesn't work as the sensor seems to report LUX changes very slowly. One of the other issues is with the tamper detection - it triggers quite often (which displays a series of red, white and blue led flashes), when for example, it's serious windy outside (where my sensor is). But as I am not doing anything with the tamper detection, it's okay. Just hoping this doesn't impact battery life. Overall, this is a neat sensor, which is a little slow, but adds the main functionality missing from Samsung's own products for SmartThings - luminance detection!

Very easy to setup with smartthings. Detected the device natively and just works. Sensitivity is a bit low, won't detect arms moving from sofa but will detect moving bodies.

Have a load of these dotted around the home to keep an eye on things when I'm away. They work great, and the battery life hasn't moved yet so expect the claimed 2 year span will hold good. They are well designed and so small! Don't really use the temperature and lux light level reporting but always handy for future options. The most important thing is the accurate motion detection which is superb.

Got it to replace the Smartthings motion sensor as that has terrible battery life and stopped working after about a year. Have had this fibaro motion sensor about 6 months and works perfect everytime, with no battery change required yet. Smartthings says still has 100% battery but I'm not convinced that's accurate. Does not give false detections like the Samsung one used to.

It works fine with my Smartthings Hub using a custom DTH and let's you configure it as you like. I went on holiday and this device didnt give any false alarms, however the ST Motion Sensor gave 2 false alarms! The coloured lights that flash are pointless...why do I want to know the temp of a room that I am walking through when I can feel the temp with my body :) its nothing but a gimic if you ask me. Also I noticed it's a lot slower to register motion, compared to my ST Motion detector...its takes about 2 seconds, so it's useless if you want the lights to turn on with motion detection e.g. when walking through the lobby, as you have left by the time it turns lights on. The range of the motion detection sensor is terrible compared to the ST one, this barely covers the room. For the price I would say this is nothing special! So it looks like I will need a ST one for motion lights and a Fibaro one for the alarm system.

Works well simple set up,a little expensive,(after less than 6 months of use this has stopped working I've tried resetting but it won't reset so if I could give it less than one star I would.

Nice little sensor. I have three of these controlling lights and security in my house. My set-up is Domiticz on a Raspberry Pi and this connects easily and has good functionality. Not only does it sense motion, but also light levels and temperature. One of mine is set to turn on the lights if there is movement detected and the light level is below a certain point. It is compact (around table tennis ball size) and discrete. Being battery operated, you can put them anywhere (e,g, mounted on it's bracket on the wall or sitting on a bookshelf). I find the batteries last around 6 months and they're cheap and easy to replace. It does flicker it's LED lights behind the round panel on the front when it senses movement. You can change those settings so the colours represent different things (e.g. the temperature or light level) or you can just switch the LED lights off if you find it annoying or have it set-up in a bedroom. Overall it's a neat little LED with quite a lot of features/sensors. It is a little expensive though. The Philips Hue motion sensor is just over half this price (but not so easy to integrate in a smart home system).

Ik heb 4 van deze sensors waarvan er 2 constant false positives geven, meerdere keren gereset opnieuw included etc maar geen resultaat. Sensitivity lager zetten helpt maar daardoor ook vaak geen detectie,

Pek yararı yok

Ik gebruik het met homey inde badkamer en een fibaro switch

Ok. Får det man beställer. Inget konstigt

Per completare il mio sistema di automatismi basati su Home Assistant ho gia' comprato 4 sensori di movimento Fibaro da affiancare ai sensori di movimento Philips Hue. Nessun problema di integrazione con il controller Aeotec USB Z-Stick, facili da posizionare (sono cosi' leggeri che per provarne il posizionamento in alto sui muri li ho semplicemente bloccati con lo scotch carta), completamente configurabili (io uso Home Assistant con ZWave2MQTT), piu' adatti a chi ha voglia di "smanettarci" rispetto a chi vuole qualcosa di piu' semplice (tipo i sensori Philips Hue). Una cosa che apprezzo molto e' la possibilita' di configurare il tempo di "cool-down" (o "blind time") a valori molto bassi (fino a 1s). Questa potenzialita', unita ai tempi di risposta molto veloci, permette di costruire automazioni complesse (eg. capire come si muovono le persone all'interno della casa). Ho solo un dubbio sulla durata della batteria, il primo che ho comprato (usato da Amazon Warehouse) l'ha scaricata in 5 mesi, il secondo invece indica ancora 55% dopo 6 mesi, ma tutto questo con configurazione abbastanza spinta (report frequenti di temperatura, blind time a 2s, etc.). Se siete preoccupati dall'aspetto un po' inquietante (sembrano davvero un occhio di gatto che si accende!), si puo' sempre abbassare la luminosita' o spegnere del tutto il lampeggio.
