Continuing the discussion from Pre-release of Fibaro Motion Sensor :
Would love to get one of these but I am in Australia and dont won’t to start buying zwave devices on the wrong frequency. Hoping smart things v2 will support all z wave bands.
Can anyone recommend any zigbee motion sensors that have light sensor built in that works with smart things?
Simple use case I want is to set the motion sensor to Turn on lights only when light levels are at a certain level. Surely this is possible ?
The smartenIt 1019C is a zigbee multisensor with light, temperature, and motion. Good company, but the device is more limited than you may expect, read specs carefully. It’s certified for the zigbee Home Automation standard, so it may work with ST. Worth a try, although I don’t know if anyone’s written a device type that will work with it. It’s definitely designed for the basic use case you mention.

Thank you. I’ll check it out.
Any other Zigbee motion devices with Lux? Not looking to spend $125 on the Smartenit device.
Right price and has lux, but it is ZigBee Light Link, not ZigBee HA. Not sure it will work directly with ST Hub without a Hue Hub?
There’s a community – created device type handler which seems to work pretty well with it.
(Per the spec, any ZLL device should fall back to a ZHA profile when connected to a ZHA coordinator.)
See discussion in the following thread.
I have just finished building a Device Handler for the Hue Motion sensor and thought I would share it with the community.
Note that this is very much beta and rather potatoe quality code as its my first device handler but it is working for me. I will happilly entertain suggestions and improvements.
Motion
Detects motion and illuminates a red LED on the device
Sleeps for about 60 seconds before sending a no motion response
Temperature
Seems Accurate
Battery
Works but likely not calibrated very well
Illuminance Measurement
Returns a value that changes based on lighting, However I am not familiar with lux measurements and have nothing to compare it to for calibration. I get around 160 with normal indoor lighting and about 40 in my dimly lit bedroom, but I think that is wrong

I have one and can confirm it works OK with the above DTH.

How is the range of the PIR? Looking to put this in the corner of my 20x20 garage. Will it pick up motion across a room that big?

I have mine in the downstairs hallway looking at the front door.

The Smartenit Motion Sensor’s are better priced at their website:http://smartenit.com/product/zbms3-1/ http://smartenit.com/product/zbms3/
I can try to create a DTH for it if needed.
