Works well, cheap
I used this sensor on my sliding door and it works great. I used embedded sensors foe my traditional doors. It’s nice that the embedded sensors aren’t visible, but they lack the features of thsi sensor and are about twice the price. These work well, reporting temperature, motion and door status.

Best product in its price range. Beats even its more expensive competitors. Cons: No user manual
I normally don’t write customer reviews, but this one definitely asks for it. Once you figure out how to use this product, it’s a game-changer. It’s one of the best products in its price range that detects motion, light, temperature, and door open/close state. I use it with Home Assistant, and was able to figure out the quirks after many google searches. After buying 3 initially, I now have about 15 of these. It has a good range of motion detection if you set it up correctly.

Incredible value for the money. 15 second recovery time for motion!
I bought some of these to replace my aging, huge, and unreliable Bosch motion/temperature sensors that took 4AA batteries and would spontaneously disconnect from my Hubitat about every 30 days or so. The only way to get them back online was to physically open them up, pull all 4 batteries, and then put everything back together. Very annoying when sensors are mounted on the ceilings.I’m REALLY impressed with these sensors so far. They paired instantly via z-wave with my Hubitat C8. There’s no manual in the box but just put your hub in pairing mode and hit the tamper button on the back of the sensor 3 times within 1.5 seconds to put it in pairing mode. Hit it 4 times and hold on the last press until the light goes red to perform a factory reset.There is a native driver on the Hubitat but you’ll want to replace that with a great user-written driver on GitHub. The native driver gives you zero functionality, most importantly no ability to adjust the temperature readings. The user driver gives you control over that along with just about every aspect of the sensor, including the ability to disable certain features. I have these mounted on the ceiling in various rooms to monitor for temperature and occupancy. I have zero use for the door function nor the illuminance function, so I just disabled those.This thing is tiny and very attractive on the outside. It includes a mounting bracket, tiny screws, and double-sided adhesive pads. There is no branding or lettering of any kind on the outside of the case so it’s very clean and unobtrusive. The entire base blinks red if you pull it off the wall and trips the tamper sensor. No beeping or other noise. It will report a tamper event to your hub via z-wave.The most impressive thing is the recovery time on the motion sensor. 15 SECONDS. Yes, it takes only 15 seconds to reset from a motion event before it will sense motion again. Very impressive!I can’t speak to battery life or long-term reliability yet but all in all this looks like a very well designed little unit. There’s no other sensor I’ve found that even comes close to this level of functionality at this price. To get anything remotely equivalent you’d have to pay at least double the price. I’ll update this review for battery life and reliability down the road.

Goes offline and doesn’t come back online.
Paired just fine and I could see all entities/sensors. I thought it was going to be an awesome device for a great price. But it detects motion and just goes offline and never comes back. I removed the battery and reinstalled it, and it does the same thing. I tried a brand new battery, and same failure.I really wanted this to work, since all my other zwave sensors have had rock solid stability for years. This one doesn’t even work for 30 seconds.Return in progress..

Z-wave, reliable, compact
Absolutely awesome, using it with node red to control my pantry light and shut it off if no motion is detected for a while. It is on the opposite side of the house and still had 90% signal strength.

Motion detection probably won’t work right without a lot of tinkering
If you’re using Home Assistant read this.It appears to be common that this device will NOT clear the motion state. That is, it will detect motion and even though there is no motion in the area, the state will remain “on” for motion detected. You can manually reset it from the developer tools but as soon as motion is detected again, it will remain stuck in this state.You can reset parameter 7 as some have recommended as the default for sending a clear motion state is disabled by default (why I have no idea). Sometimes, the binary value of the state has to be manually changed rather than just flipping the value from off to on. You can send the parameter a custom value of 2, 18 or 22, size 1 unsigned. Do this in the Z-wave JS config for the device, it’s under configuration v1 at the end of the configuration items list. I’m not sure why these values are said to work, I’m just surfing forums to find this info. None of these worked for me.I’m not going to put it in here, but you will have to create a new “virtual” motion detector using a helper. The helper draws the motion state from the sensor for motion detection events, and it will have to use an automation to reset the value back to “off” or “clear” after a period of time you select. So you’ll end up creating the virtual helper and two automations will be needed to toggle it on and off based on the “real” sensor state.I was considering buying a bunch of these things because they’re so cheap, but you get what you pay for. Half-baked junk that works for some, not for others and not consistently. You might get one that works perfectly out of the box, you might get one that works with some tinkering or you might be like me and get one that doesn’t clear motion state no matter what you do, requiring a bunch of supporting configuration if you want to keep it.Unless you like fiddling endlessly, I’d save your time and spend the extra $20 to get a Zooz or something that works. I have a Zooz motion/temp/humidity/light sensor that was included to my z-wave network and worked immediately. It’s been in my porch for two years and I’ve never had to touch it since.
