Aeotec sensor 6 USB power supply

[Jamie mccrostie 82]

Does any one have any experience on USB powersupplys for multible sensor 6 sensors.

Are the cheap multible port USB power packs suitable?

the only problem (not USB / batt issue) too much false-positive reports about high temperature...

Hi @10der,

i've never experienced those...

 

[10der 832]

You have no idea how lucky you are. 

[Bodyart 231]

@10derPerhaps my USB chargers are producing more stable DC (less ripple) ?

Quite possible... Power supply quality is an issue with the Fibaro UBS (for temperature) and the Fibaro Swipe (beeps, false detection). But It also could be a Z-Wave network issue. If you ever find the time and do not mind editing your scenes... You could try to exclude the sensor and include it in "Secure" mode. From 4.141 you'll notice a "padlock" symbol on your device. If you no longer get these warnings, it was a network issue. If you still get them, it is a device or power supply issue...

[10der 832]

ughhhhhhh!

so root issue (as for me) here. I have  4 MS6 and all on iphone chargers.

AAUGH!

[petergebruers 1,268]

@10der I only have one MS6 on batteries at the moment... So I really do not know if it is a supply issue. But before the end of the week I'll put it on USB. Probably some phone charger... I'll let you know if it starts reporting odd temperatures.

I use one of them inside the wallbox to power the USB dongle of my Qubino weather station.

Works good so far, but probably more expensive than a simple USB Charger

I have one MS6 on USB supply that came with iPhone:

and never had any false alarms. This supply is really small and it fitted in wall box  

 

Swipe gets juice from iPad USB supply:

 

First I used old iPhone USB charger of the same shape for swipe, but after some time it started making problems with beeping and failing commands so I replaced it with iPad one and is ok ever since. Swipe is really too sensitive device and it seems that will work best with USB supplies that have good filtering and that are usually not the cheapest ones.

I have about 9, all on small USB type power supplies. Mostly on 5W chinese copies of iphone charger, some on 4-out chargers shared with cameras. I had a couple of false freeze/fire alarms. Interesting to hear this, will check. Thanks!
