Aeotec TriSensor (ZWA005)

Quick verdict

A small, tidy Z-Wave multisensor that bundles motion, temperature and lux with S2 security, all local through Z-Wave JS with no cloud. It is 500-series (Gen5) silicon, so don't expect 700/800-series perks like SmartStart or Long Range, and it measures temperature but not humidity. Handy and discreet, with adjustable (pet-tolerant) PIR sensitivity - just mind the single CR123A if you crank up reporting.

Standout: A compact Z-Wave Plus multisensor - motion, temperature and light in one 45mm body - with S2 security, running fully local through Z-Wave JS.

Compatibility snapshot

Why it stands out

• Three sensors (motion, temperature, light) in one compact, S2-secure Z-Wave Plus node
• Fully local via Z-Wave JS - no cloud, works offline
• Adjustable PIR sensitivity (including pet-tolerant settings) and a small, discreet body

Reasons to hesitate

• 500-series (Gen5) silicon - no SmartStart / Long Range, shorter battery life than 700-series
• Temperature only (no humidity); frequent motion/lux reporting drains the CR123A faster
• Stock is spotty - often sold out at Aeotec, available via resellers

Best for

• Z-Wave households wanting a small local motion + temp + lux sensor
• Privacy-focused setups avoiding any cloud sensor

Avoid if

• You want the latest 700/800-series Z-Wave features or Long Range
• You need humidity, or the longest possible battery life

Privacy and local-control notes

A standard Z-Wave Plus node - all motion, temperature and light data is local through your Z-Wave controller via Z-Wave JS. No cloud, ever.

Home Assistant support: supported · integration path: Z-Wave JS (local).
