I bought this to add some additional motion/temperature sensors to my Hubitat environment. Once you get these added to Hubitat they work perfectly.

This is my third Monoprice PIR Motion Detector. The first has been in service for 4 years, the second in service for 2 years. The second is located outside on a covered entry porch. Both Motion Detectors have performed flawlessly. With that history there is no reason to look at any other. I expect this third sensor to perform the same. I definitely recommend this sensor for use with a Smartthings system.

It was exactly as described in looks and in function. Very pleased with it.

Installed this last week, after 7 days battery charge shows 80%. Will update this review when it is completely discharged.

Using this with Hubitat. Temperature sensor reports back but there is no easy way to change the reporting schedule. The motion sensor does not seem to work with the latest version of the Hubitat hub.

I bought this for my Laundry room and stairs to turn on the light. But it is too slow by the time I get up 4 stairs then it turns on. I had to go with another brand..

have 2 of these running... one is outside under the porch to detect motion and the other is in the unfinished portion of the basement to trigger a light.

Pros.. outstanding battery life.. both are running well over a year on batteries. Easy to mount - has screw mounts or has flat surface to tape.

The temp sensor is fairly close to others that I have in the proximity

Cons.. sometimes motion detection is instant.. other times, it lags for a second or two. Always detects.. just the timing varies.

The re trigger is 3 minutes and in hubitat I have been unable to adjust the parameter to drop it to 1 minute.

The Monoprice Z-wave Plus PIR motion and temp sensor is a decent combo sensor for DIY smart home automation. Battery life will vary depending on the strength of your z-wave network, and the frequency of motion and temperature sampling.

While other multi-sensors may include luminance, humidity, and other environmental sensors, the additional data points just eat batteries.

A luminance threshold sensor (i.e. light or dark detector) could be useful for lighting automation on gloomy/overcast/rainy days where ambient lighting is normally sufficient during the day.

My biggest criticism for this sensor is that the product photography for the item STILL shows it upsidedown! Do not mount your motion sensor as shown in the product photography because you will only detect motion of very tall people and Spiderman crawling on the ceiling. Hopefully, this review brings this fatal flaw to someone's attention and all of the product photography is revised to show the sensor in its proper orientation.

I've been using Z-Wave for several years and have tried many different motion detectors. This unit has proven, thus far, one of the best for motion detection.

1) Understand that it is a simpler device than most: it only reports 3 things, motion detection, case intrusion and temperature. No light sensor, no relative humidity, etc. To me that is a good thing, might not be to others.

2) Unlike other devices, it is not well-defined in HomeSeer, the software I used for home automation. So to change any of the settings you have to read the manual and determine how to do it in your software. HomeSeer allows this by directly manipulating the device registers by register number, size and data. I wish it were better defined to HomeSeer so the program could present a reasonable menu.

3) Partially due to #2 above, it is harder than most to set the time between motion detection events. The default is 3 minutes, but it can be set with the registers. Unfortunately, the register is in minutes not seconds, so the shortest time is 1 minute. The programming capabilities of HomeSeer make this very workable.

4) When my first two units arrived, there arrived without a manual (or, perhaps, I misplaced it). Since they look very much like some other units I have tried, I ASS-U-MEed that they would enter "add to network" mode the same way. Nope. I wrote Monoprice and they sent a PDF file of the menu and that got the devices working in a few minutes, plus provided the information necessary to program the devices.

5) Battery life. Mine have been in use for almost 3 months now and both still report 100% battery to HomeSeer. They seem to report battery level daily.

6) Temperature reporting is not a "timed event". Temperature is reported only when the temperature changes by 2 degrees. According to the manual, that is adjustable but the adjustment procedure is not defined in the manual, so if might as well not be. This works well for rooms or areas with a lot of fluctuation but not in areas were the temperature is fairly consistent. I wish it would to that but also report temperature at the same time it reports battery level, so at least once per day the temp would be reported.

So, if you're looking for a simple motion detector that might be a little harder to program than other devices, this device will work great.

(Also, please note that, for some reason, Monoprice has posted all of the photos of the device UPSIDE-DOWN. The wide end is at the top, not the bottom, so when placed on a wall the sensor angles downward. This is obvious in the pic with the mounting holes - the small end of the screw slot should be UP not DOWN.)

Eats battery, 70% of the time it doesn't work or sends movement detection. Temp Sensor is way off.
Never send battery information.
Never again
