As I delve into the world of smart home automation, I’ve been experimenting with the Zooz 4-in-1 ZSE40 sensor to create some motion and humidity-based automations. However, I’ve encountered an issue where the sensor only reports humidity, temperature, and lux when motion is inactive, and it does so every 3-5 minutes. This inconsistency has made it challenging to rely on the sensor for consistent data collection.
I’ve heard that the Aeotec Multisensor 6 might offer a more reliable solution. If anyone has experience with this device, I’d love to know:
- Does it report humidity, temperature, and lux regardless of motion detection?
- How quickly does the battery need to be replaced, especially if USB charging isn’t an option?
- What practical uses have you found for UV sensing?
- How about vibration detection?
- Does the digital lux reading provide any significant advantage over traditional analog readings?
Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to hearing from the community.
