Thank for the video - nice work - saves me so much time seeing your work -

Please, how much of an area can it cover? square metres please, and lets assume it is ceiling mounted in the centre of a room. I want to know if this will work in an open plan condo. would an 18x9m2 room require 2 of these? Also not sure of beam angle. If is it about 120 degrees that should be fine. But how accurate is it in your findings? Thank you and any feedback on this would be super appreciated.😀

Hello. What are your opinions when using the SNZB-06P presence sensor? I have a sensor (software v1.0.5) connected to nspanel pro (v2. 2.0). I noticed two problems. The sensor reports movement on the panel only after approximately 3 seconds. The sensor turns on the light even on a cloudy day. At a light intensity of approximately 50 lux, the sensor detects darkness. I changed the sensitivity value, but the problem still persists.

I didn't like the lux implementation but the detection for me was fast for movement

These sensors operate at 5.8 GHz. I have played with some similar sensors that operate at 3.2 GHz. They would detect through walls and to the rear. I couldn't use them because of the ceiling fans in my house setting them off. Does this sensor also detect through a wall?

@notenoughtech 7 ай бұрын

Not to my knowledge. But detection cone can detect signal bounced from the wall

@EsotericArctos 7 ай бұрын

A lot of mm wave sensors are a long way above 5.8GHz. Most of them are 25GHz and above, some even in the 60GHz range Aqara use a 60GHz sensor in the FP1, it is a XENSIV™ BGT60TR13C. I believe a similar sensor is in the FP2, but I haven't confirmed what it is. I don't know what Sonoff use, but I very much doubt it is 5.8GHz as this would be a more expensive sensor as they are not readily used in mm wave sensors.

@patrickpaganini 7 ай бұрын

Great review and nice it is zigbee. You are really correct about the Aqara fp2 - after initial excitement I found I had no use case for room positioning, and would much rather it hadn't used wifi. I thought I might start using Home Assistant for its new voice stuff (I much prefer working in Node-Red). Do you actually use HA at all?

Will Sonoff release any device to detect the rain? To start with, just a digital detection (yes/No) is fine. Options for that device in app must be able to over ride output of a smart rekay. So Automatic drip irigation valve switch-on will be skipped. Any idea when weather based scenes be implemented? Paid version of Shelly has. I'm the VIP user of ewelink. But ewelink does not yet have this option.

There are waterleak sensors that could be used to detect rainfall if you funnel it. But Sonoff doesn't have them in their line up yet.

I do think it may not be problematic. But Shelly gives only last 5 logs with their free app and 100 logs even with paid version. One of the reason for me to be with Sonoff is unlimited logs even with free version of app.
