Plugged in - Z-Wave Motion + Temperature Sensor

[JDRoberts]

The homeseer HSM 200 is a plug-in model with an indicator light that can be one of seven colors. Reports motion, temperature, and light level, although the light level reading is weird, it’s obviously intended just to have it function as a night light.

Quite a few people are using it. This one is even more expensive than the Aeotec, but the indicator light can be a nice feature.

HomeSeer HSM200 (device type Handler in post 9)

Anyone tried using this device? My situation is this…I have a simple z-wave outlet that runs a UV light filter at a vacation home. We don’t leave the UV light on when we’re gone so as to extend the bulb life and save power. The trouble is that the light is down in the crawlspace and is a bit of a pain to verify whether it is on or not. Obviously one can look at their SmartThings app to check the status…but not everyone in the home is connected to the app. Ideally, I’d find some sort of button that also includes a status light where the whole thing could be set up such that the status light is active when the UV is on and the button acts as an additional controller. This HomeSeer product is close, considering that if it works with ST I could set it up to glow green when the UV is on…

It Also functions as a Z wave repeater, one reason people often choose plug-in devices. The Aeotec also does when it’s plugged in, but not when running on battery. ( battery operated devices generally do not repeat because it would use up too much battery life.)
