what about the Aeon Labs Multisensor 6

[akatar 207]

I am thinking of buying a aeon multisensor 6,

is this working fine with the hc2?

because i want one in a small room and i think the fibaro pir is to ugly (for a small room) and can not be fitted in a ceiling.

 

so is the multisensor working as it should?

 

[ggrizliv 4]

Yes...

[TurboWannaBe 5]

I hade problems with battery life, so mine are on mains power, nut they work perfect with fibaro

[ggrizliv 4]

Yes, battery is so quick empty, I use one old usb charger to power multisensor and work just fine...

@TurboWannaBe @ggrizliv

I don't have the room to use a usb charger, what is the estimated life span of the battery?

Mine lasted 2 weeks, you can fit a Fibaro PIR in a Aeon labs ressesor, sometimes a round peg does fit in a square hole!!

[akatar 207]

@spazpeker if it fits, it would be great

witch one, gen 5 or gen 6?

[10der 830]

I have 5 sensors. All sensors has USB power.

one cons you can’t update firmware without Aeon stick. Also if you will bought USB stick you will should 

remove device from HC2

add device to Aeon USB stick

update firmware 

remove device from usb stick 

add dive to HC2 again 

 

annoyed as for me.

[akatar 207]

@10der i guess that the firmware will work as it should, but empty batterys in two weeks

[10der 830]

Never used this device with battery or ohh no

i use first device when bought.  After 1.5w device was reported about empty batt and I never used this device and others what I bought after with batt power.

yes, you are right here

[awlieser 11]

Same here, useless on battery (Gen 5 and Gen 6) - additionally lots of false alarms, esp. with regard to temperature.

Cheers

thank you for the pics

Philio ressesor fits better for fibaro sensors

@Tundel Thanks, i will look at that

For all those people that said that it is working fine, can you please elaborate on its performance? I got one to use it mainly as a PIR and connected it via usb power and not battery. The PIR is useless as it  doesn't detect movement very well(especially when it is a little dark),  lags a lot(sometimes it register the movement after you have left the room) and the range is much less than advertised. The other sensors are a little off especially the LUX one. Granted I have not updated the firmware as I would need to invest more in aeon labs and this first product experience was not very encouraging plus I doubt that the PIR lagginess and sensitivity could be improved by a firmware tweak.

IMO the fibaro ping pong PIR is way better and runs circles around the multisensor 6.

I use to use them but have gone off them for all the reasons you quoted. Humitity and usb dont make up for flakey performance.

[barend121 13]

Pir does not work very well, humidity works ok. 

 

Don’t place the sensor in the ceiling mount if you want to read humidity correctly. Due to new airflow between ceiling and room this doesn’t work accurate.
