It's a nice device, but to be honest it literally CONSUMES the 3 volt lithium batteries. As in it lasts for a few months, then drops off and when I look at the battery levels I see it start at 100% then after a month it drops to 60% then a bit lower, then bounces around, then drops off line.The device is in the same room as a Third Reality Zigbee plug so it's not a distance/energy issue. I'd recommend going with the TZ3000 series devices as they seem to go for a long time on a pair of aaa batteries with no issues.So yeah, not recommended. I see a lot of people complaining that they drop offline, I'd bet if they checked the voltage on the battery they would see Oh well.

Been using it for nine months with SmartThings V2 then V3 hubs. Been working perfectly, and seems to have a very long battery life. Use it for humidity detection to trigger an HVAC fan. Highly recommend this product.

Follow instructions and should be trouble free install. Do cover all exposed wire if not fixed in place

I read many of the reviews on here and felt compelled to write my own review. My experience with Centralite sensors has been great. I have door sensors, motion sensors, and this temperature/humidity sensor. I've had no issues whatsoever. But, for those who are new to Zigbee device, it's important to understand a few thing.First, as with any wireless technology it is important to understand the environment in which they operate. Zigbee shares the same frequency as the older WiFi band. (2.4GHz) So, if the environment happens to have a WiFi band (Channel Overlap) that is shared with the Zigbee channel, count on problems. Also, the same is true for Hue devices that are in the general area. Hue uses Zigbee. If the Hue happens to use the same Zigbee channel, expect problems. And finally, wireless is subject to the same physics as Wifi. Distance, solid objects, etc. can and will impact the wireless communication between devices.My hunch is that many with issues are implementing these in a non-optimized Zigbee environment. (Check for and resolve channel overlap with Hue/other Zigbee hubs, 2.4GHz WiFi. Build the Zigbee mesh in such a way that powered Zigbee devices with repeater capabilities can repeat the signal to fringe devices.) It could be that the Centralite devices do not broadcast as strong a signal as other devices, which could also explain some of the issues noted.I have 49 Zigbee devices in a two-story home and have not had issues. It wasn't always that way. I had to do a lot of reading to understand my environment fully. Occasionally I will have issues with one device or another, but they clear quickly--and have never been the Centralite devices.

The sensor works well and was easy to pair. I paired it through ConBee 2 attached to RPi 4 using Home Assistant. I gave it 4 stars but it really should be 3 and a half. The manufacturer's claimed 2year battery life is GREATLY exaugurated. I use it on my garage door and after normal use the battery is down to 77% after less then one week. At that rate, the battery wont last one month. The temperature sensor is off by about 2 degrees. I bought it because it was one of few sensors available that had screw mounted sensor and magnet.

I am comparing this to the Hue Zigbee motion sensors. Sure, it is half the cost, but this company also does not need to recoup a huge amount of R&D put into an entire ecosystem like Philips does for the Hue line. Obviously Philips provides an entire line of products with advertising, a proprietary hub, and software across all major platforms. Since I am using zigbee2mqtt and a conbee II USB stick, it seems like I could have expected something reasonable, even at half the cost of the Hue sensor. But these are absolute trash. I two Zigbee networks in my house, one managed by deconz and the other zigbee2mqtt.I tried these sensors on both. Pairing was relatively easy, but presence detection is extremely flaky. One sensor remains stuck in the "Clear" state, while the other remains stuck in the "Detected" state. I even swapped out the 2450 batteries with no improvement in performance. These are really trash.

Unit works good, but Smartthings loaded a driver that just didn't work. D/L a better third party driver, now works as expected, but battery way off.

Edit 11/13/18The first one I bought walked off. I think my nephew picked it up and placed it somewhere. Oh well. It wasn't working at the time because it loves to disconnect from the Wink 2 hub whenever it feels like it. So I bought another and had trouble pairing it (about an hour). Finally it paired and now this water sensor disconnects at random. No reason. I put a new battery in it for good measure. It ran for a few days the disconnected again. I'm going to scrap this sensor and try another brand. Good luck.I used this sensor in my basement by the main drain for the HVAC, water conditioning, water softener, water heater area. If anything in that room starts to leak it will go to the main drain in that area. I placed it nearby the drain. We have a well and it has a Goulds Aquavar pump controller. The pump controller has a jumper wire for enabling the pump to run. If the jumper wire is not there, the pump does not run.So I paired this leak sensor with the Wink 2 hub (easy). Then I paired a z-wave relay switch with the Wink 2. Then I created a robot in the Wink 2 so that if this water sensor detects water it will then tell the relay to break contact. Breaking contact in the relay then shuts down the well controller and, in turn, the well. The robot also sends me a notification that the well has been shut down.The setup works flawlessly. I have had no problems with the Centralite Water sensor at all. It's also nice because it tells you the temperature. It would be easy to setup another Wink 2 robot to shut down the well pump if the temperature dropped to a certain degree. I have another robot for my Honeywell thermostat that does this, so I didn't do it with this sensor.I plan on purchasing more for other possible wet locations upstairs by the kitchen sink/dishwasher area and by the washer and dryer area. It's easy to justify the cost of these sensors and a Wink 2 hub when you figure out what the repairs would cost from a water leak going undetected for hours or days on end.
