I bought one of these to try out because it was pretty cheap. It works fine as motion detector (which is what I really wanted it for)
However, it is billed as being able to monitor light levels. And, in fact, there is a sensor called “illuminance.” But its value is always 38.0 and never changes even when the ambient light changes.
Is it broken? Is there something I’m doing wrong? Has anyone tried one of these? (The model number is INT-ZWAV-MTD and the Amazon link is Amazon.com)
I bought one of these as well. Works well as a motion sensor. My luminescence sensor seems to work, as it changes values when the lights go off, but not as quick or as well as the motion part
I have two of these units now, both work well, but one led blinks when motion is sensed and the other one does not. I don’t see a way to configure it in the UI. There is nothing to configure when I try the UI. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance
Interesting question. Maybe someone else who is seeing the problem will chime in, but I’m wondering if the one that doesn’t blink the red light is simply defective. I poked around in the jwavejs2mqtt control panel (which supposedly exposes most of the zwave device’s configuration settings) and didn’t see anything that appeared to be relevant.
thing is, I would prefer the led off based on where it’s a lolt. I didn’t even think of it being defective, but for the price, ill live with them and hope it lasts. I’d like to hear others experiences if there are any others?
I have a couple zooz multi sensors (motion, luminance, temperature, humidity) and there are configuration settings you can adjust to turn off the LEDs … perhaps there are configuration settings you can use as well? Check the manual for parameters
I was tempted by the price on Amazon and bought a couple of these to experiment with. This model definitely does not have the temperature capability the product page implies or the included paper doc describes. It’s actually the 2-in-1 sensor (motion and lux only) documented in the PDF Tricklegt uploaded. I confirmed this by pulling command class and parameter reports from a sensor fresh out of the box.
I got tired of using the Basic Z-Wave Tool to configure them and hacked together a driver from the most bare bones motion sensor example code I could find. It receives motion, illuminance and battery reports, and changing the configuration params seems to stick.

To clarify, this comment actually applies to Hubitat and not the Home Assistant Z-Wave JS implementation. The linked code is a Hubitat driver written in Groovy. I was bouncing between the forums and accidentally posted here first. I’ll leave the comment in case it’s useful to other folks who run their Z-Wave and Zigbee devices through Hubitat.
