Well done. That had to be a lot of work. You may want to consider segmenting projects like this by price point, platform or functionality. That may add a little work but would be more digestible for the viewer. The Hook Up is a good example of this. Keep up the great work!

The Sonoff SNZB-06P now also has dection sensivity added. It's just low, medium and high - but that may be just enough to allow for some adjustments. On high setting, the sensor detects presence at ~ 5m. There seems to be a ~ 1m extra distance before it show not-occupied. The presence detection timeout can be set from 15 - 60 seconds.

@JonathanYankovich 6 месяцев назад

Don't need me to tell you how impressive this video is. Thank you! One thing to note is that when you see a "CO2" sensor", unless it's an "NDIR" sensor (which usually adds 5-15$ to the price), it's "fake co2". Often these fake CO2 sensors also do other gasses. I don't know the details but it could be useful to read up on if you're testing lots of sensors. (I do mycology work and need to monitor actual CO2 levels accurately, so I'm always checking, "Is this an NDIR CO2 sensor?") Also, totally agree, if someone made a hardwired smoke detector with mmwave and either zigbee or wifi, I'd probably replace all my hard-wired smoke alarms, that would be great. Oh, last thought; for measuring illuminance, you might want to get a standalone sensor from Amazon so you can calibrate baseline. They're pretty cheap.

@ctownskier 6 месяцев назад

The apollo website says they're using the SCD-40 sensor. According to the adafruit page it uses a photoacoustic 'true' sensor comparable to the SCD-30 which is NDIR but I'm always skeptical of manufacturer claims. Do you have any experience with the SCD-40 or its measurement technique?

Wow, Aaron, that's a LOT of work! 3:00 i like this sensor, because of the clean install and easy powering by AC house voltage. There's a better sensor, that also gives temp & humidity readings (and light level), but i don't think you'll review it in this video. It also costs almost $100, so there's that. But, it works better than any other so far! So far, it's only available on Crowd Supply. ~16:00. Ok, so this one you have to make your own housing?! Well, I still don't have a 3D printer, lol. (Don't have the space to operate one!) But it seems to have lots of functionality in Home Assistant....

This is great, nice work! It baffles me that there aren’t more small discrete units designed to be plugged right into an outlet. That Apollo unit was interesting, but a right angle usb c along with an outlet with built-in usbc would probably be an improvement there, aligning the sensor flat against the wall.

I am pretty sure the ceiling mounted sensor (Tuya M100-1) needs an electrical box since it residential AC. If you install power to a round electrical box and mount the sensor to a round coverplate you could access it by removing two screws. Perhaps this seems like a lateral move but I think it is better because less force is needed and there is less risk of drywall damage.

@user-sy6oc4vz2c 4 месяца назад

I bought a Linptech Zigbee after your great video. Works fast as a PIR sensor. But it is sad you compare all those sensor to the Aqara FP2. FP2 is way more advance thanks to the interface where you can add zone/interference/room size directly in a map view. Agreed it take about 2 weeks to setup and some of my hair. But on the other side a presence sensor detect everything, a small movement in the curtain, the bathroom fan, the dishwasher running, this make it useless even if you play with the sensibility…

Screek A2 seems a little cumbersome with Setting it up with X and Y coordinates. but the price is only half of the Aqara and it^s fully Open Source, not some Xiaomi stuff....

@skacey42 6 месяцев назад

Hey, great video, and very much appreciate the level of detail. One recommendation that would help would be to run some basic statistics. For example, the distance graph looks obviously better for one device, but it is impossible to see how much better, or which devices fellow below the group average. Nothing negative, just some help. Great job!

Confirmed that the ZY-M100-S works with ZHA only after hunting and finding a custom quirk that worked online (tried a few that didn't). Have mine in the study and it seems to go into some kind of deep sleep mode overnight, have to nearly touch it to 'turn it on' and then it works well during the day. Can't recommend due to pain of setup and the sleep mode.

@gerryf7015 6 месяцев назад

Super job Erin. I think the pet detection was mostly not detecting small pets and getting a false human triggers. One of the challanges with mmwave detectors is false triggers with small movements of curtains or plants in a slight breeze, air conditioner or fan air movement. This can be some of the false triggers or ghosting people see. Most of these can be solved by sensor positioning and sensitivity settings. But many folks just want to stick it in a hidden location and have it work out of the box. But reality requires tinkering. If you are not too sick of mmwave, would like to see the capability and ease of use of the multi- zone versions. And maybe some cool automations!!

@igorsantos07 28 дней назад

This is an awesome review of the different models on the market - although I feel a bit of prejudice for being a ZHA user lol I would add that you could have used actual rounded values for the prices, instead of $$$ for price ranges. For instance, going from $9 to $40 to idk-how-expensive is quite a difference (specially when you consider the Athom as a "good for the price" when you consider the biggest addition is a PIR sensor, comparing with the cheaper Tuya ones.

I have the ZY-M100-L but in wifi form. I bought it to play with because of its form factor. I found you can power it with 12VDC which you can get from downlight transformers, which bypasses the horrifying parts of the sensor. Having said this, I’ve found the ‘on’ latency to be a few seconds. I can walk into the middle of the room before my light switches on (or the app registers that I’m there as well). It’s far slower than my FP2, but has less ghosting issues. My question, there was an offhand comment about response time, but couldn’t really determine which was best in this instance. Which one was fastest to reliably pick up detection? Hoping to be able to have something switch on as I first enter the room! Thanks heaps for pulling all this together! There are a few I hadn’t heard of that I’m really keen to try out!

@barygol 6 месяцев назад

I was thinking of putting some motion detectors powered by AC on the ceiling to turn on the lights on the corridor. But one requirement is that it does it fast. You don't recommend de ZY-M100-L for this task? I searched for AC powered PIR sensors but didn't find any.

@pretenda 6 месяцев назад

@@barygol steer clear of this sensor. It’s sketchy at best. There’s no way you should ever power it with 110/240v. It wouldn’t comply with any local standard and is a recipe for a fire. You can power it with 12v if you wire it in after the power circuitry, which is marginally better. Having said that, I’ve found it’s pretty slow. Not sure if it’s just the wifi version or not. At the moment I’m thinking of getting one of the usbc powered ones (ep1/ep1 lite/apollo), gutting a regular downlight and using that for the case. Then I can use POE with a USB adapter like the Ubiquiti INS-3AF-USB to power it. That way I’m not messing with line voltage, it has over current protection and it’s easily replaceable with other devices down the track. Disclaimer, I’ve not tried this, it could be fundamentally flawed and I don’t know yet 😅

@a11aaa11a 4 месяца назад

Wow I'm surprised you didn't like the FP1, I've tried a few of the ones you've listed (no name black box, one of the other tuyas, and the sonoff) and it's the only one that actually detected consistently, but maybe I'll have to look into the other recs now (especially the athom and eplite). Apollo looks very promising too! I'm curious whether testing these all at once might have affected the results; if they're all sending 24 GHz etc waves around, you're almost certainly going to get some interference

@makeitworktech 4 месяца назад

Yeah, the Apollo is pretty awesome! I tested them all one at a time (the others were powered off) and saw no difference, so hopefully no interference.

I would like to trigger different lights based on distance, otherwise i need a device for every location in the same room. Technically yes, but software wise, no. All i can configure is presence no presence, kinda sad. (ZY-M100). Also i would like be able to trigger an action when im sleeping to turn off the TV for example... Thanks

@Dazdigo 3 месяца назад

It would be best to avoid messing with mains power. If you are going to, make sure that there isn't any copper exposed since it is a spark hazard. Also those spring terminals don't take much force for the wire to pull out.

@makeitworktech 3 месяца назад

Yeah, best to put it in a box I guess

@mondotv4216 Месяц назад

Well avoid it if you know nothing about it. If you're competent, then I would advise crimping ferrules on to those stranded mains and test the spring terminals by yanking on them. If they're decent they should be solid. And as you said - no bare metal on the outside of the terminals. And of course turn off the mains and check that the wires have no voltage before doing anything.

@makeitworktech 6 месяцев назад

I've heard that as well, and I don't have comparison with "regular" devices that don't "flood" the network. All I can say is that my network handled all of the Zigbee sensor in this video at one time, all of them flooding the network. Unfortunately there wasn't really I way that I knew of to quantitatively say if a sensor was flooding the network or not.

Is that hardwired ceiling one compatible with building code? I thought you could not have exposed 110v AC lines without being in a junction box of some sort?

@mako9673 6 месяцев назад

I think you may be right, but it means that the mounting mecnism is not really ideal if you need to put an elextrical box up or have it installed where one already exists. Like they tried to copy those LED lighting systems, but did not think that the reason they can work is that their high voltate AC lines are terminated in junction boxes.
