AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are mixed about the performance of the surveillance system. Some mention that it works well, while others say that it didn't work properly after they replaced the USB power supply. The device began to perform erratically and abruptly stops communicating with the ST hub. It is cheap and bends easily, making it very unreliable.

Customers are mixed about the vibration sensor. Some mention that the motion sensing is improved over the earlier version, and the detector is extremely sensitive. They say it immediately started reporting motion and gave them motion alerts. However, others say that the sensor only sensed motion at 2-3 feet and not at the door. They also say the range is very small and sometimes doesn't even detect motion.

Customers are mixed about the ease of installation. Some mention that it works with SmartThings and is super easy to set up, while others say that it requires a bit of work to set it up and has complicated config. The installation is trivial if you're screwing it into wood or plastic, while pairing with Smartthings was simple. However, some say that the device has a lot of complicated confguration, the install into the corner was a little tricky, and there's a long gap in updating or detecting humidity changes.

Customers are mixed about the accuracy of the surveillance system. Some mention that the sensor shows almost correct temperature without manual calibration. They also like that it measures temperature and light lux. However, others say that the temperature sensor was inconsistently accurate, wasn't calibrated, and was wildly inaccurate.
"...I did have some strangeness early on with the temperature sensor randomly reporting a single reading in C every few days, so I created a template..." Read more

Customers are mixed about the quality of the surveillance system. Some mention that it has a great feature set, and there are a lot of options for permanently mounting them. However, others say that the engineering and thought behind this product are weak, the manufacturing assembly is bad, and the construction tolerances on one is terrible.

Customers are mixed about the connectivity of the surveillance system. Some like the ability to use USB power, while others say that it fails to connect despite being just 20 feet away. They also mention that they had trouble pairing the device to their SmartThings and that the original connection was lost.
"...Sure enough, the original connection was lost. Re- installed the sensor in its new position. However, the device began to perform erratically...." Read more
"...The USB option is nice, but so far I haven't found a need for it - I just tend to use these things in places where I want to be able to put them..." Read more

"...I chose this product because it had a plug in option...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the light sensor of the surveillance system. They mention that it does a poor job in detecting luminance levels, the light level monitoring appears to be inconsistent, and the sensor is not very sensitive. Some customers also report issues with it detecting sometimes at night and with the old firmware that has issues with light levels.
"...Very unreliable.Alarm/Vibration: What? The reading is always 0. I guess this is the tamper setting?..." Read more
"...So the absolute worst part of this sensor is the light sensitivity...." Read more
"...The light sensor seemed to do a poor job in detecting luminance levels (knock a star off), and I couldn't rely on it to automate the dimming levels..." Read more
"...So I did, no joy, not even a light to tell me something was going on. After trying several different USB power source I tried a new cable...." Read more

The sensor itself is much smaller than the baseball-sized units I have now, and that's mostly a good thing. The squarish shape and small size helps it mix in to my room decor a little better, and there are a lot of options for permanently mounting them or just placing them on a shelf or in some inconspicuous location.
You have a choice of 2 CR123A batteries or USB power. The older sensors I have were powered by 4 AAA batteries, and to go as long as possible between battery changes, I typically used lithium cells...this gave me a year or two between battery changes, but these lithium batteries are expensive. Assuming the CR123A's last as long, I think that's probably a better and less expensive solution. The USB option is nice, but so far I haven't found a need for it - I just tend to use these things in places where I want to be able to put them wherever I want without any type of cabling.
With Z-wave devices, a lot usually comes down to how well supported the device is by your home automation controller. I have two different systems: in my primary residence, I have an older Vera-3 unit, and in my vacation home I have a newer Homeseer controller. The Vera is Z-wave and the Homeseer has the latest Z-wave Plus hardware, and I'm happy to say that it was pretty trivial to connect these sensors to both systems. The Vera UI7 level has the Multisensor 6 support built-in, so it was just a matter of selecting it and pairing. The Homeseer was similar, but I needed to upgrade to the latest version first.
Once paired with my home automation controllers, the sensors seemed to work perfectly, giving me motion alerts as well as temperature, humidity, light levels, UV and vibration sensors. The motion sensor is the one I care most about, and it seems to be roughly similar to the older sensors I had, working reliably from 15-20' at angles up to 150 degrees. In my setup, I have pretty good signal coverage everywhere in my home, so I don't know that I get any benefit from Z-wave Plus and its greater range. I haven't noticed any other performance differences between the Z-wave and the Z-wave Plus system, although I'm hoping the Z-wave Plus system will give me somewhat more time on a set of batteries.
Bottom line is that I'm happy with these units and would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting a capable sensor in a small package at a fair price.
This sensor is great. The motion sensor is the main reason I purchased it, and that has worked much better then previous sensors. It is accurate, and the sensitivity adjustment provides an actual useful adjustment range. I haven't had one of these lose communication, and they are very quick in registering movement. Some of the other sensors would have a delay when registering movement, drop off the controller, or run out of batteries quickly. This one has none of those problems. It has made my automation life much easier. I have tried 4 or 5 different motion sensors in the past, and this one far exceeds all of them.
The form factor is much smaller than I was anticipating, it is quite small. It records temperature, luminescence well. They have been accurate for me, and it works fine with openzwave * (openhab, domotics, etc). I have had this sensor for about a month and havn't even noticed an impact to battery life at all, and I have pretty frequent reporting. I am using it with the newer aotec zwave usb receiver.
The mount could be improved, and it would be nice if it was cheaper, however this sensor has been by far the best I have used. I am willing to pay a little bit more to have a consistently working and accurate product. I feel that some of the other reviewers who gave bad reviews based it on their choice of automation software, not on this sensors performance.
Edit 11/18/2015: I noticed a few people complaining about time-out settings. You can change these really easily in the z-wave configuration for the device (depends on your software on how to do this). I have mine set very low. It reports no motion when motion has stopped for 60 seconds. I factor that into my scenes. I trigger lights that auto trigger off after 5-10 minutes of this sensor not reporting motion. So effectively 6-11 minutes. It works pretty flawless in this setup. I have 4 of these now, controlling 8 lights or so.
I found that mounting them on the ceiling offers much better performance then putting them on the wall and facing a direction. I have all four of mine mounted on the ceiling.
I still wish the mount was better on these, and the pairing button was a little easier to get to while mounted, but I still believe these are the best sensors I have owned.
