Sensors
The "touch points" of your home
There are many sensors available (water, light, doors, etc), but the first sensors people usually want are motion sensors (usually PIR, passive infrared detectors). Again, Z-Wave based sensors work well for this as their battery life can last up to two years. We’ve found one motion sensor in particular that has the best capability, reliability, and lifespan, which is made by EcoLink (on Amazon).
Beyond all the above, cameras are popular, but outside the scope of these controller hubs and devices. We’ve installed many cameras and many brands (Foscam, Hikvision, D-Link, Nest) and can recommend ReoLink (on Amazon) cameras for their quality, functionality, and reliability.
