Question 10

The marketing and product box for this item promotes that you can plug it in and power it from a nearby socket. They show this in the manual for the US 110v version , but for the UK/EU 230v version it suggests it has to be hard wired into the main consumer unit ?As I have a socket right next to the consumer unit? Please could someone explain why I can’t connect the power cable to a UK plug and power it, rather than pay for an electrician to hardwire it? View answer

Question 11

Sensor 6 has several flaws. Reset button link via a piece of dodgy plastic, poor light level reading, poor UV reading.Apart from these, it was very good. Have they been addressed in Sensor 7? E.G. What range is read for the light level?Can I trust the reset mechanism? Can I assume it will work well with RaZberry? View answer

Question 13

What is the length of the new Q-Reader lead between the pulse module and the data logger. I have a long distance (approximately 22m) between the meter (located next to road) and the house and propose to connect the pulse module to the requisite cores of a CAT5e cable (already laid underground) and then connect the Q-Reader within the house where it can connect via z-wave to my hub. Is this proposal possible if the cable is not long enough? View answer

Question 18

As this can be powered from a 5V supply, and I already have wiring in place bringing 12V to existing alarm system sensor locations, does anyone know if there is an off-the-shelf 12V -> 5V converter that will do the job?

Question 29

Why does the Aeotec Multi 6 report a 23 lux when my Philips Hue sensor reports 14606 lux in virtually the same position. I've tried it with 3 Aeotec Multi 6s now with the same sort of difference, I'm concerned because I want to use to switch on lighting when required?

Question 33

On Fibaro's website for this product it shows it being able to be installed in audio equipment but there are no references to that type of setup in the manual or instructions.

Question 40

Hello Could I use this connected to the 12v bell output (I.e. the +and- terminals) in my house intruder alarm to tell my Samsung SmartThings box that the siren is ringing? This would be a remote alert as lightening frazzled the built-in comms dialler! It’s not clear to me from the manual that I could put the 12v through to say “it’s ringing” and “stopped ringing” when it’s 0v. I am also not clear on whether I will be able to configure it with ST (I don’t have the Fibaro control system), or not. Thank you in advance. Neil

Do these use the same motion sensor as Aeotec's Multisensor with motion, UV, humidity, vibration, temperature and lux? I'm hoping they don't as the motion sensor in the Aeotec 6-way multisensor is very poor, I have about 5-6 of them and even on the highest setting they often don't detect me even if I walk right up to them and jump around.
