I got some of the Ecolink Z-Wave PIR Motion Detector, Pet Immune (PIRZWAVE2-ECO) from Amazon. Have not received them yet but are they best cheap ones or are there some other brands I can try?

I hear the ecolinks work better if you put the jumper on test instead of pet1 and pet2. Does that make any difference?

If you have pets and need the pet immunity, I recommend the Ecolink. Otherwise, Iris gets you more bang for your buck and in a smaller profile. I have Iris, Ecolink, Monoprice, and both generations of ST motion sensors. I think Iris is the best value for non-pet owners.

Maybe I will give Iris a shot. My Lowes has 9 in stock. I can return them if I dont like them

I’m not a pet owner, so no need for me. Just means I can’t really chime in on how well that works as it’s not a use case for me. But the Iris does what I need stock. And I got mine in the Home Security kit I nabbed for $60, so it was essentially half price (4 items for $60)

The ecolink are 27.00 on Amazon take out the jumper and it makes the reset time 5 seconds which is super fast. Also these things are super sensitive. If you need temperature with motion get the iris from lowes.

I dont care for temperature monitoring. I just need to switch on and off the lights and fan when here is motion or not. And no pets here either.

I would go for the ecolink just make sure to take off the jumper so you have the 5 second reset. It’s really called test mode but I use mine like this for over a year now and the battery is still at 100% . I’m also using mine for turning on/off lights. It works well and best of all you can buy a 2 p…

I went through the ecolink manual and it says if the jumper is off its in test mode with a reset of 4 mins. If you want a faster reset 5s, the jumper has to be in the slot labelled test. Is that not correct?
