Review:
Neo Coolcam Motion Sensor (5in1)
Installation on the Home Assistant (HASS):
The last controller is HASS's turn. This is a free software package that you can install on different hardware. We have it running on an RPI-3 with an Aeon Labs Z-Wave USB stick to add it to. You can start adding it by going to the configuration and then clicking on Z-Wave. Then click on "add node secure" to start adding. HASS gives a very short message that the adding has started.
After this you have to make sure that the add mode is started on the sensor. You can do this by unscrewing the cap and removing both tabs near the battery. Then we press the add button for 5 seconds until the LED lights up white and release the button. Do not wait for the LED to go out again because then adding will not succeed. The LED will then flash blue to indicate that the addition was successful. It then lights up 1x red to indicate that the cover is loose. You can of course ignore this.
When I look at my identities I see it indeed appear, so adding it was successful. There is no "device configuration" present, but this can also be added manually (see later in this article). Now I can install the sensor in its final location.

Operation:
You get a motion detector, temperature, light, humidity sensor and sabotage alarm. When there is movement, the LED lights up blue, you can also turn this off via the parameters (see here). The temperature sensor gives a value of 26.2 degrees while my calibrated sensor (which is next to it) gives 27.1 degrees. So it is quite accurate.
Example scene:
We create a scene where if movement is detected and the lux value is lower than 5, the lamp in the hall is switched on.
