Question

Bought a Fibaro motion sensor, regret buying a Fibaro motion sensor, now looking at better options. I need something that reads lux and motion, not after temps, humidity, which fly outside farted and would like good range so I don’t need to fill a room with sensors every few feet. Looking at Dome at the moment, anyone using and recommends them?  

Answer 1

I had to read that four times for it to make sense. I'll look into Dome because I don't want fly farts triggering mine.  

Answer 2

Inovelli has a multi out. Looks promising. And reasonably priced.  

Answer 3

Better to put a motion sensor where it can best detect motion and a light level sensor where it can best assess light level. They are very rarely the same place.  

Answer 4

The Dome DMMS1 is pretty good in my experience. The lux range is wide (so it's usable for telling how sunny/cloudy it is, not just if it's daylight--at least if it can see outside, which it probably can't from most indoor locations; I have one whose only job is sitting in a window pointing out). It's also one of the fastest Z-Wave motion sensors I've used, though that's not saying much. :) I might recommend against the Aeon Multi 6 unless you can USB-power it because it's slow, eats batteries, and is a bit expensive if you don't need all the features. I can't speak to the new Inovelli sensor, but it does have USB power (or batteries) and a lux sensor, too, for a lot less (and looks vaguely similar to Aeon's Tri-Sensor, except that is battery-only and doesn't do humidity).
