Best Z-wave motion sensor? (January 2017)

[JDRoberts]

So I’ve just about had it with my ST zigbee network post 16.9 and starting to think about switching to zwave only. Do people have suggestions for zwave motion that is ST official compatible? Might be willing to go not official since the rest of my non official zwave are solid. I know there was a motion sensor compare thread but it’s kind of aged at this point.

This thread is still current:

Bulbs, switches and sensors, oh my....what to buy (device class features FAQ)

So, I’m pretty new to this internet of things world. Originally bought 2 OSRAM tunable LED bulbs with the Wemo Hub and a WEMO insight switch, now I’ve “upgraded” the hub to the SmartThings hub, and looking at ditching the WEMO insight switch for the SmartThings plug, just so I have have support now and not have to wait or deal with adding custom code to the IDE. I’m on Amazon and etc pretty much every day trying to decide what I want to play around with next, or what’s better, etc. I’m here to see what your opinons/preferences are for plugs bulbs sensors: motion, open/close and temp It’s a confusing world out there…Just for bulbs I’m finding LIFX, WEMO, OSRAM, GE Link, Phillips Hue, Cree. For plugs I’m finding WEMO, SmartThings, Aeon Labs, GE…etc It’s hard to decide which is the way…

I think the one that people probably like best is the Fibaro, but it’s also the most expensive.
