Multisensor 6 Overview

The Aeotec Multisensor (Available on Amazon) has six sensors combined into 1 small, 1.8″ square plastic housing. When the Aeotech Multisensor is placed in a hallway or room, you can use the SmartThings app to monitor motion, humidity, temperature, light lux (brightness), UV, and vibration. On top of all those features, the Aeotec Multisensor 6 is natively compatible with SmartThings, so no custom device handlers or coding is necessary out-of-the-box.


In order to get these 6 sensors into such a small device, this sensor is one of the more pricey options available. At time of publishing, the sensor was listed for ~$60 on Amazon. Keep in mind: if you were to use more standard, cost-effective sensors, you’d have to mount six of them to get the same feature-set offered by the Multisensor 6.

 

Power

The Multisensor 6 is a versatile choice because it can be powered by the included micro USB cable (although, the box cable is quite short), or alternatively, you can use two CR123A batteries – resulting in ~2 years of battery life with average use.
