It definitely used to work before Samsung bought SmartThings and gutted it.

Looks like you might still be able to by using a driver that Homeseer maintains: https://docs.homeseer.com/product...thingsAlso

Some people report basic sensor compatibility with the generic z-wave driver. I would doubt you get access to all of the sensor data that way. Possibly just binary motion detection. Either way it's not complete or perfect plug and play.


If you find yourself frequently asking the question if it's compatible, I'd recommend looking into Home Assistant or even Hubitat... HA is compatible with all widespread home automation technologies, modern (matter, HomeKit etc), cheap (Bluetooth, WiFi) as well as older like Z-Wave and Zigbee.

Hubitat is basically the open source version of SmartThings and works with drivers written for ST.

This is a great deal for a multisensor that you never have to replace the batteries in. If you are new to Home Automation, you may not yet have experienced the annoyance of maintaining battery powered devices.

Multisensors like this can end up sucking batteries dry very quickly if they are placed in high traffic areas and you do not (or are unable to) modify the detection or reporting frequency. Likewise battery powered multisensors are only ever active when they are reporting. Meaning the status you see is only as up to date as the last time it communicated with your hub. This is not the case with a line powered sensor that is always available and reporting current status.

Black Friday is also pretty much the only time of the year where HomeSeer products are priced competitively/worth the markup.

The Zooz Q sensor is about the same price, newer Zwave stanard 800LR, can be powered by USB, and additionally has a humidity sensor.
Free couple CR123A batteries to boot.

I try to stick to powered devices everywhere. Only battery locks, and I wish I could have had an electric strike instead but that takes a lot of work if not already built into your home.

Yeah I ordered several to see if I can automate kitchen lighting - I have a number of outlets that are unused, and I like that these HomeSeer units are fairly low profile. I'm adding them to Home Assistant and will create a sensor group to aggregate the motion sensing to (hopefully) insure that lights don't go off prematurely.

Not thrilled with the loop molded in to the housing - I suppose that's so the outlet cover screw can be run through the sensor to secure it to the outlet - I'll likely trim the loop off if it's easily done and confirm first that it's not really needed.

FYI related to controlling this device from Home Assistant

Looks like there is an active bug in HA, that doesn't let to change the color through the color picker, though you can still set it through automation.

Just a note also that I was about to bite the bullet on this guy but:
  1. There are at least a few legitimate-seeming complaints about it in Reddit, especially in Home Assistant. Of them, is...
    1. The aforementioned color picker thing
    2. Firmware updates not flashing correctly
    3. It detects its own light sometimes
    4. It gets hot and then detects its own heat. (Both of these are like the multisensor version of "getting high on its own supply")
  2. It's old
  3. It ended up being $10 shipping to Oregon (for me) for a 3-pack, which offsets the value.
Ended up bailing out.
