I am a longtime Home Automation enthusiast and just bought a new home. Most of my neighbors have professionally installed Control4 systems and are mostly dissatisfied with the captive support model and inflexibility that comes with Control4. I put in a Hubitat hub and Zooz devices (ZEN77, ZEN32, ZEN71, ZEN76, ZEN04, ZEN52, ZSE44, and ZSE18). There was a slight learning curve to move to Hubitat but after the initial learning phase I couldn't be happier with my system and the Zooz product.
I'd give this 5 stars except that attaching the device to its mount is tricky if you're up on a ladder. It has to be done carefully or the case gets damaged. Still fits but it's loose. Bought 2 more anyway.
Including and excluding is easy, and response time is good. I work them with Habitat and they are well configurable.
Installed over the driveway, and it very quickly picked up motion to the side/periphery. It also has surprising range - so much so that it picked up cars passing in the street. Sensitivity is adjustable but I’ve first been focusing on making sure the installed angle is correct.
Temperature readings seem fairly accurate (within a couple degrees what the weather app says it should be for a much wider area). Hard to verify lux, as I don’t have another sensor to compare, but it logically tracks the light wells throughout the day/night. No issues connecting (or maintaining connection). All in all, a well-built device that I expect many years of service from.
Using HA automation to warn me of people in the backyard. It works perfectly, with no false detections as of yet. Easy to install, although removing the back cover counter-clockwise required a great deal of strength. I put some silicon grease when I screwed the cover back on to add more waterproofing and to makie it easier to close in the upright position. Suggest to tighten the little screws holding down the pivot arm to have a firmer mount for the final installation. I installed it under the gutter facing the backyard. Light level detection seems good. Temperature detection seems a little off by a few degrees during a sunny day however. Maybe something that can be fixed in a firmware update?
