I bought a fibaro motionsensor - in what way can I control this?

scocz

I just bought a motion sensor.
If I take a look at  they show multiple options to do with the motionsensor.

for example: alert me when a intruder is in my house or play a song through another device when my daughter wakes up and play her favourite lullaby.

In what depth can I control my motion sensor with Homey?

@Emile maybe you can shed a light on this?

The sensor sends updates to Homey (hey, it's a sensor).
You can create graphs with Insights in homey over (numeric) sensor values. 
With the flow-editor you can create flows like 'if movement detected then turn lights on' etc).
On z-wave device configuration pages you can edit all settings of the device.
So its totally comparable to every other z-wave controller.

iToo bad I cant just use my phone or laptop as a zwave controller to try it out..  

How can I get to this z-wave configuration page?

Just go to Devices and click on the + to add a device.
Select Homey - Z-wave, then press Next.
Put your sensor in Inclusion Mode (press the button next to the battery 3 times)
Normally it will be added to your Homey and it will appear in your list of devices.
There you can see the different sensors that are supported (luminance, motion, battery)

@Fire69 Homey does not support the builtin temperature sensor of the fibaro motion sensor yet?

Fire69

It does, I forgot that in my list

Ahhh... Good  Have got one of these myself

What's your overall experience of Fibaro sensors with Homey so far? I'm considering  upgrading some of my KaKu sensors to something better now that I have a Homey.

In a nutshell: They work as good and bad as it gets for first versions of the software. No "wrappers/apps" specially dedicated to individual Fibaro devices available (yet?). Few features missing for Fibaro devices (motion sensor). Some features still have bugs (door/window sensors) Other Fibaro devices work 100% (wall plugs). Some manual labour still needed, like creating the right associations (I didn't have to do that with my VeraEdge, cause it knew how to handle/configure individual devices). But as I understand it that will be added later on in prementioned wrappers/apps. (Correct me if I'm wrong Athom.)  Most important: Every firmware update more supported, less bugs and better!

What bug did you encounter with the door/window sensor? Got it working at the office.
