Soo... i pulled an old Aeotec Multi-sensor Gen5 from my spare parts box and tried hooking it into HS4... everything was fine if I had it directly next to my controller, but once I put it in its final location, things go south. I've woken it, optimized routes, it works for a while, then it doesn't, etc.
Then I realized/remembered why it was sitting in the spare parts box, cuz it's a POS. I found that true for many Aeotec devices years ago, they looked on great on paper, but the execution was less than optimal. Also eats through batteries.
That being said, what's your favorite multi-sensor? At a minimum it should have temp, motion, lux level, and humidity, Can be z-wave or zigbee since I plan on supporting both types of devices.
