Buy 3 Aeon Labs Multisensor Gen 5 (ZW-074) and Receive a 4th Multisensor Gen5 Free

4 PIECES OF INTELLIGENCE THAT YOU CAN BRING TO YOUR Z-WAVE NETWORK
The Aeotec by Aeon Labs MultiSensor Gen5 looks like a motion sensor and it acts like one too. But it’s also so much more. Installing this 1 piece of Z-Wave technology is the same as installing 4 pieces of Z-Wave technology. Your home control network will immediately understand motion, temperature, humidity and light readings wherever Multisensor installed. Those intelligent readings will equate to intelligence automation. And intelligent automation will give you the perfect, smart home.

MOTION SENSOR.
Most motion sensors are used for security only, but with MultiSensor and the power of Z-Wave you can design all manner of intelligent scenarios from lighting control to the expected security monitoring.

TEMPERATURE SENSOR.
Monitor the temperature of a space and then use the power of MultiSensor to directly control, or get your Z-Wave system to control, the devices that’ll keep you comfortable.

HUMIDITY SENSOR.
Temperature sensing is one thing, but humidity sensing brings a whole new level of intelligence to your home. Use it with Z-Wave to create the perfect, most comfortable spaces possible.

LIGHT SENSOR.
Energy saving, safety, comfort. There a lot of things you can do with MultiSensor’s inbuilt light sensor, each of them offering an whole new level of intelligence, personalisation and perfection for Z-Wave.

INDOOR SENSOR.
Whether it’s for comfort or security, attach it to a wall, sync it, and MultiSensor instantly provides your Z-Wave network with 4 unprecedented levels of intelligence.

OUTDOOR SENSOR.
Your Aeotec MultiSensor isn’t limited to the corner of a room. Designed to withstand the elements, MultiSensor brings the outdoors to your Z-Wave network.

WIRELESS SENSOR.
You can affix MultiSensor to your wall or ceiling with no more than a few screws. No wires. Nothing. MultiSensor can be a truly wireless sensor with batteries that’ll last a year and the reliability of Z-Wave’s wireless signal.

POWERED SENSOR.
Of course a device for your wall made with just the right features offers more than just battery power. MultiSensor can be powered by mains electricity using a power adapter and the inbuilt mini-USB connector.

    Maybe some information on what these are?

    What would I use one for?

    • kings36 on 14/09/2016 - 12:00

      These are Sensors for the Z-wave home automation system.
      They are the previous Gen sensor so not that much of a bargain.

      The sensors cannot be used as stand alone and you will need a Z-wave controller to work with these.

      Having to buy 3 ($147 + shipping) at once it's really for existing Z-wave system owners.

      Great sensors though, I have 4 of these and they control a few fans and heaters in my place.

      I had these delivered yesterday along with a zwave USB control stick - fantastic service and 1 day delivery - thank you capital smart homes!

      Check out home assistant if you feel like tinkering. https://home-assistant.io/
      I've got it running on a Raspberry Pi 2.

      A usage example might be if a sensor detects movement at night to turn a light on for ten mins, or if it's above a certain temp or humidity switch on the air-con.

      • XeKToReX on 14/09/2016 - 13:37

        How are you finding them with Home Assistant? I'm doing a bit of testing on these with Capital at the moment as I'm having problems with HomeSeer and it'd be good to get some feedback!

        • BaryGusey on 14/09/2016 - 15:01

          Well, as mentioned I only got them yesterday - I had quite the time getting them to show up. They paired easily, the raspberry pi detected them and I was able to interact via the Open Zwave Control Panel application and change some settings but I just couldn't get Home Assistant to see them. I got it sorted eventually but it took some shennanigans.

          They are reporting away with no problems now and I've found the Home Assistant set up and install relatively easy to negotiate for a non programmer with no real linux experience.

          If you have a spare pi and an SD card it's fairly straightforward to get it going and costs nothing but time really.

          I was having drama with Homeseer too. The latest beta ZWave Plugin or .87 seems to fix it.
          I had to rescan after adding and all good!
          They are a pain to include while battery operated. It's like they go to sleep too quick sometimes. My tip is to remove it from homeseer, reset it to factory defaults, pull power/power with USB, and include it in homeseer. I've added 5 so far…

        • XeKToReX on 14/09/2016 - 19:20

          @bigjezza:

          Interesting, might give it a shot tonight! I think I'm already running beta 87 though.. are yours running 1.2 or 1.3 fw?

          Edit: Updater (hs website) is down so can't install addons haha :(

        • XeKToReX on 14/09/2016 - 20:00

          @bigjezza:

          I got my HS Z-Wave plugin updated to 3.0.1.94, removed and re-included one of my sensors securely.

          Still nothing, probably going to have to send the 4 back that I have because they just refuse to work, I have 2 of the Multisensor 6's and they work perfectly, spent a good 10-12hrs on these now and cant afford any more time.

          Will have to find some other IP rated sensors I think.

        • 2025 on 14/09/2016 - 21:48

          @XeKToReX:
          Bugger!
          I updated to Aeotec firmware 1.3 once I confirmed it was all working. I still have one on 1.2 and just tested adding it a while ago. I also updated my ZWave Me UZB1 firmware to 5.04 recently maybe that has something to do with it.

          To add mine securely they had to be basically touching my USB Z Wave stick.

          When you say nothing, whats not working? Motion, temp updates? Is Homeseer finding all the nodes? Here are some parameter changes I made on mine to get them running how I like with homeseer:

          parameter,value,bytes

          2,1,1 ; WAKEUP FOR 10 MINUTES WHEN CONNECT BATTERY
          3,10,2 ; MOTION TRIGGER RESET AFTER 10 SECONDS
          4,1,1 ; ENABLE MOTION SENSOR
          5,2,1 ; MOTION TYPE SENSOR BINARY REPORT
          101,225,4 ; DATA REPORT TO SEND (ALL DATA)
          111,1800,4 ; INTERVAL FOR REPORTS (SECONDS)

          After that I did a rescan in Homeseer!

          The manual is wrong regarding wake up on battery- you need to tap the button 3 times quickly. The LED will remain lit if it worked.

          Also it appears in Homeseer the last updated column only changes if there is a change in the data. Eg if it sends a report at 6pm saying 0 lux then at 11pm if its still 0 lux homeseer will state last updated 6pm.

        • XeKToReX on 14/09/2016 - 22:36

          @bigjezza:

          Thanks for all the info mate, I will give them 1 last try.

          I updated to Aeotec firmware 1.3 once I confirmed it was all working. I still have one on 1.2 and just tested adding it a while ago. I also updated my ZWave Me UZB1 firmware to 5.04 recently maybe that has something to do with it.

          I'm using an Aeon Labs Z-Stick - can't find any update for it but i'll keep an eye out!

          To add mine securely they had to be basically touching my USB Z Wave stick.

          Same, I literally had to sit them on it for it to include securely and negotiate security.

          When you say nothing, whats not working? Motion, temp updates? Is Homeseer finding all the nodes? Here are some parameter changes I made on mine to get them running how I like with homeseer:

          Motion doesn't work at all on battery, no LED on the sensor or anything.

          Thanks for the param's, I'll try the exact same params as a last resort and see if they fix up my issue.

          The manual is wrong regarding wake up on battery- you need to tap the button 3 times quickly. The LED will remain lit if it worked.

          Yeah figured that haha, no idea what they were thinking.

          Also it appears in Homeseer the last updated column only changes if there is a change in the data. Eg if it sends a report at 6pm saying 0 lux then at 11pm if its still 0 lux homeseer will state last updated 6pm.

          Yeah, good to keep in mind, cheers.

          Thanks again, gonna give it one last go now!

        • XeKToReX on 14/09/2016 - 23:11

          @bigjezza:

          Yeah, no good.. I can't even get them to include any more, just fails getting security classes and if it does that, fails at getting ZWPlus info… Just included my Multisensor 6 no problems right after.. from 5m away no less…

          Got one of them included when connected to a 2A USB pack, but even after setting everything exactly the same, not reporting Luminance or Motion at all.. totally crazy.

        • 2025 on 14/09/2016 - 23:18

          Did you rescan after those changes?

          The reason it has to be so close when including is to stop someone intercepting the security association. The radios switch to low power mode during that exchange.

          I was really hoping you'd get it going! And do a side by side comparison between the 6 and this in regards to how long it takes to send a notification that motion has happened :(

        • XeKToReX on 15/09/2016 - 00:05

          @bigjezza:

          Yeah tried a rescan which didn't change anything, very annoying :/

          What batteries are you using in your sensors?

        • 2025 on 15/09/2016 - 11:14

          @XeKToReX: A mix of Ikea 900mah nimh and eneloop nimh

        • XeKToReX on 15/09/2016 - 11:16

          @bigjezza:

          Awesome, running Eneloops too.

          I tried 3 different sensors last night, after being hard reset (held for 20+ secs) and none of the 3 would include because it couldn't get the security class or the zwplus/wake up info.

        • BaryGusey on 20/09/2016 - 18:04

          @XeKToReX: "I'm using an Aeon Labs Z-Stick - can't find any update for it but i'll keep an eye out!"

          Firmware updates for the multisensor GEN 5s is here
          https://aeotec.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/6000…

          I did the update to try and fix similar problems but no dice. No motion detection, no Tamper detection, everything else is fine. I've reset, re-paired, changed settings a dozen times. This is driving me nuts!

          Did you get yours to work yet?

        • XeKToReX on 20/09/2016 - 18:08

          @BaryGusey: Nah mate, no good! I've raised a case with HS Support, will check in on that again soon.

          I think its Security related at the moment.

        • BaryGusey on 20/09/2016 - 21:07

          @XeKToReX:

          I just got mine working!

          The error was a stupid one on my behalf. I was using the wrong sensor data. I'm not sure how HS works but in Home Assistant I was using the sensors called "sensor.aeotec_zw074_multisensor_gen5_alarm_level_5" & "sensor.aeotec_zw074_multisensor_gen5_burglar_5" - the motion detector is actually "binary_sensor.aeotec_zw074_multisensor_gen5_sensor_5". Hope your fix is just as simple.

        • XeKToReX on 20/09/2016 - 21:31

          @BaryGusey: thanks mate, I'll take a look but I'm pretty sure I've tried changing the sensor type even on the sensor itself without much luck. Glad you got them going though!

        • BaryGusey on 20/09/2016 - 21:39

          @XeKToReX:

          Sensor type has to be changed to binary to communicate its state with HS I think, certainly the case with Home Assistant. In HomeAssistant each sensor node shows a bunch of sensors - "burglar" "Temperature" "Humidity" "Luminance" "Alarm" - none of these were showing motion detection. It was the one named binary_sensor which I wasn't even looking at. I thought it was just showing that the sensor itself was on.

        • 2025 on 25/09/2016 - 00:27

          @XeKToReX:
          How did you go with these?

        • XeKToReX on 25/09/2016 - 00:47

          @bigjezza: Still an open case with HS, they mentioned latest beta fixes them but no luck, only broke my MultiSensor 6's now! Fix was for Euro version , will do some testing tmoz and send them any error logs etc that are created.

          Ongoing!
