Review on 🚢 AGSHOME ZIGBEE Motion Sensor - Enhanced compatibility with Echo Plus, Echo Studio, and Echo Show 2nd Generation by Cory Whitney

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works with Smartthings with the right appliance handle

Works with Smartthings despite another 1 star review claiming it doesn't. I tried using both the motion sensor and the contact sensor and both paired after resetting by holding the reset button for 5 seconds. They are recognized as "Thing", you need to switch them to the correct device handler in the IDE. "Smartsense Motion Sensor" for the motion sensor and "Smartsense Open/Close Sensor" for the contact sensor do the job. They work locally, not in the cloud, so they're pretty fast. The motion sensor uses 3 AAA batteries and the contact sensor uses CR2450. Sometimes they appear to be offline but come back online when changes are detected. Hence the 4 stars. Not sure if it's the hub or the devices making it appear offline. Also, these sensors do not have temperature readings. But the battery report works fine. Another issue with the motion sensor is that it mentions a cooldown option, but I can't find how to set it up.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
