Aeotec MultiSensor 7, 6-in-1 Zwave Sensors Contains Monitor Motion, Temperature, Light, Humidity, UV, and Vibration, Z-Wave Plus, Gen7, S2, SmartStart Enabled, Compatible with Zwave Hub Smartthings

Easy and simple to set up with Smartthings. I had to pair it close to the smart things hub and then move it to the location which was very far from the hub. I am using it hardwired and it is working exactly as I hoped it would. I do wish I could force it to refresh more frequently or on request especially since I have it hardwired so there should be no reason for it to save power as if it were on the battery. The motion detection seems... imperfect, but I am using it primarily for temp and humidity monitoring which works great. The light sensor and uv are surprisingly useful too. The sensors are: Motion, Temperature, Humidity, Illuminance, UV index, Battery, and device tamper alert.

I am using three Aeotec MultiSensor 7s to monitor temperatures in a three family house with SmartThings. Two of the MS7 were working reasonably well but the temperature reports were fairly slow. Tech support said to pair the sensors again so they initialize with the new edge driver. That turned out to be a big mistake, All three MS7s now report a false low temperature by 4 or 5 degrees every hour which causes unnecessary requests for heat. The biggest problem that just started happening is all three MS7 devices just stop reporting any information and all within minutes of each other. The devices themselves have fallen as silent as the customer support. All other devices on the hub continue to work fine (even the MS6). The only way to get them back online is to restart the hub which is a big problem for a remote site. I now recover from this state with a second Smartthings that remotely reboots the hung system. Tech support says: [*crickets*] I bought these sensors for USB power option which does work nicely but the consistent false cold readings and lockups appear impossible for the company to fix. Tech support was very responsive initially but after the bad advice to install the edge driver, support has fallen completely silent, All my detailed responses to track the bad temperature readings have had no reply. I included a snap shot of the low temperature pulses all three sensors are plagued with. Also history of a sensor thrashing 2 degrees up and down over the course of a few minutes. No support for a very reproducible problem. The one MS 6 in use is fairly reliable and I recommend going with the previous version although don’t count on support in any meaningful way.

The sensor pairs well and does what it promises. It just is kind of poor on motion detection range. I have to walk within 12 feet of it and wave my arms. But the other functions run well and are a good addition to my smart home. I use this with a Hubitat C-7 and it was easy to setup and configure.

Good purchase. Does just what I need it to, and handles being in my crawl space without losing its connection. Handy little device.

I have 4 of these, all work as expected and I'm very happy with the info they provide.

Just installed Aotec multi sensor this week. Pairing with hub was fine. But could not get motion detection to work. Then noticed in history that vibration alerts were activated at each movement, without touching device. Instead of monitoring for motion, I changed app to report vibration. Now motion detection alerts are working. Sounds like poor QC and testing.

I believe this is the only Z-Wave 700 series multi-sensor that can be AC powered (via USB) and therefore act as a repeater in your Z-Wave network. I recently completed a new all-700 series network build using 11 of these sensors. They form part of the network core and help create a reliable, redundant, and wide-coverage Z-Wave network. I only used them in USB powered mode, so I can't speak to the battery life. One reviewer does note that the temperature reading is high. I agree. They seem to read about 5 degrees too warm. That's the only complaint that I have with them.

I've integrated over a hundred devices into my home automation system (Home Assistant). I purchased 3 of these which were, by far, the most frustrating components I've ever worked with. They were an enormous hassle to pair, primarily due to security errors. Support is almost nonexistent on their website. Once I found a workaround to connect them, they would randomly enter sleep mode and refuse to wake up. After 6 hours of troubleshooting, I realized the manufacturer had shipped me products with very old firmware. An hour down the final rabbit hole... packing tape and a 10-minute drive to the UPS store felt like the right resolution for me... I won't be buying products from Aeotec again.
