About Aeotec Gen6

[juankar]

A pair of question about this multi sensor
The sensivity oif this sensor Is greater, lower or equal than Fibaro FGMS001?
If you change a config value is it necesary to awake the sensor manually or it awake every a programable time interval?
thanks

http://manuals.fibaro.com/motion-sensor/ has some technical specs on that one.

I could not find the specs for aeotec multisensor 6 gen 5.

Note that the aontec one does support powered usb without modding. But is butt-ugly (why use that cheap look and feel plastic cover is beyond me) to hide in your room. Also the UVI sensor I could not get to work in domoticz leaving only 5 sensors (and I have 3 of those multisensors, none of them reports anything but 0, even outside). The fibaro stuff have just better case designe. (look at the door window sensors, all but ugly but the fibaro ones, they even get the color of platic right, still all my opinion man)

And if you want accuracy you probably are cheaper off building a mysensors sensor you can decide which accuracy sensor you use. Or if you want to skip the software, soldering part you could look at something like an vESPrino (http://domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=12669) or other alternatives.

Thanks.
I have Fibaro FGMS001, it's good but sensivity is low for me. And I'm thinking of buying another PIR sensor. I've read Aeotec's manual, but indeed the best info is the one provided by users.
That is the reason of my question. And do you say Domoticz cannot read ll sensors of Aeotec?

Did you try changing sensitivity in the options?

Of course, this was my first action. Now I'm testing differents places for the sensor.

If you have access to power where you want to place the sensor, a pi zero with noir camera and some ir leds is a much better option. You can use motion software to do more advanced stuff like walking direction. And it can record and almost as small. And if you shop right getting all the parts,same price as those multisensors.

I personally have 3 of those multisensors. And I bought then to play with and work great in places I do not have power available but. But kinda useless for more advance stuff.

Comparison size. The only thing missing are led lights.
