Fibaro Zwave Motion Sensor

Description

Fibaro Zwave Motion Sensor – Smart Z-Wave Multi-Sensor for Modern Homes

The Fibaro Zwave Motion Sensor is one of the most versatile and compact smart sensors available for Z-Wave smart home systems. More than just a motion detector, this tiny device combines motion, temperature, and light sensing in one sleek, modern package — delivering both security and automation for your connected home.

What Is the Fibaro Motion Sensor?

The Fibaro Zwave Motion Sensor is a universal Z-Wave multi-sensor designed to detect movement, monitor ambient light levels, and measure temperature. It also includes a built-in accelerometer to detect tampering or movement of the device itself. This makes it not just a motion sensor but an intelligent monitoring tool for both comfort and security.

Compact and wireless, the Fibaro Motion Sensor is battery-powered and easy to install on virtually any surface. The device’s LED indicator visually communicates its status — signaling motion detection, temperature changes, and operating modes, while also helping you verify if the sensor is connected to your Z-Wave network.

Key Features of the Fibaro Motion Sensor

🔹 1. Z-Wave Compatibility

The Fibaro Motion Sensor works seamlessly with any Z-Wave controller or Z-Wave hub, such as Fibaro Home Center, Aeotec Smart Home Hub, or other compatible systems. This ensures broad integration with your existing smart home devices, from lighting to security cameras.

🔹 2. Precise Motion Detection

Using a passive infrared (PIR) sensor, the device detects motion accurately, helping trigger automation events or security alerts. For instance, you can set it to turn on lights when you enter a room, or send notifications when unexpected movement is detected.

🔹 3. Temperature Measurement

Beyond detecting motion, the sensor continuously monitors room temperature, allowing your Z-Wave system to optimize climate control automatically. You can integrate it with smart thermostats or HVAC systems to maintain a comfortable environment.

🔹 4. Light Intensity Monitoring

The built-in light sensor measures ambient brightness in lux (lx), enabling your automation system to adjust lighting levels intelligently. For example, lights can automatically dim during the day or brighten at night for optimal visibility and energy efficiency.

🔹 5. Anti-Tamper Protection

The Fibaro Zwave Motion Sensor is equipped with an accelerometer that detects vibrations or attempts to move or remove the device. Once tampering is detected, it instantly sends a notification to your main Z-Wave controller, ensuring your security setup remains intact.

🔹 6. LED Status Indicator

A subtle LED eye on the sensor communicates various statuses:

• Motion detected: flashes color

• Temperature changes: color-coded LED

• Network status: visual confirmation of Z-Wave connectivity

The LED not only looks stylish but also provides practical feedback during setup and operation.

🔹 7. Easy Installation

Thanks to its compact size and wireless design, installation is quick and hassle-free. Fibaro Zwave Motion Sensor can be mounted on walls, ceilings, or shelves using screws or adhesive pads. It’s perfect for both new setups and existing smart home upgrades.

🔹 8. Battery-Powered Convenience

Fibaro Zwave Motion Sensor runs on a single battery, providing long-lasting power without messy wiring. Depending on usage and settings, the battery life can last up to two years, reducing maintenance efforts.

🔹 9. Simple Earthquake Detector Mode

Interestingly, the Fibaro Zwave Motion Sensor can even operate in earthquake detector mode — using its accelerometer to detect vibrations, providing an extra layer of environmental awareness.

Practical Uses of the Fibaro Motion Sensor

The flexibility of the Fibaro Zwave Motion Sensor makes it a valuable addition to various smart home scenarios:

💡 Smart Lighting Automation

Use the motion and light sensors to automatically control your lighting. For example:

• Turn on hallway lights when someone walks by at night.

• Adjust brightness based on natural daylight levels.

• Save energy by turning off lights in unoccupied rooms.

🛡️ Home Security

The motion detection and tamper alerts make the sensor a key part of your Z-Wave security system. Receive instant alerts on your smartphone if unusual activity is detected while you’re away.

🌡️ Climate Control Optimization

With built-in temperature monitoring, you can fine-tune your heating and cooling systems. Connect it with your Z-Wave thermostat to maintain ideal comfort levels automatically.

🌞 Smart Energy Management

By monitoring light intensity, your home can intelligently balance artificial and natural lighting, helping reduce electricity usage and lower energy bills.

Discreet Installation Option

For homeowners who prefer a minimalist aesthetic, The Fibaro Z-Wave Multi-Sensor can be recessed with the Universal Multisensor Recessor for discreet operation (sold separately). This allows for flush-mount installation in ceilings or walls, keeping the sensor nearly invisible while still maintaining full functionality.
