Does it report battery status to the Veralite, and does it configure as a window sensor rather than another type of sensor?

Yes, it does report the battery level in a Veralite. You can either look at the properties for the sensor itself (sensor &gt; advanced &gt; battery level), or you can install the Battery Monitor app and have it monitor the battery for you. You can also set up email / txt alerts if your battery level gets too low. The device is seen as a "sensor" in Veralite.

I don't know how it works with the Smart Things controller, but it does with the Vera 3. For those looking for a controller, I would suggest a Vera 3 or Veralite because it provides support for more functionality and protocols than other systems. The downside is that configuration is more complex.

The motion detection sensor comes with lithium battery. Main unit has rechargeable. I have give up on the idea of trying to get this thing to call out to my son's home if there is an alarm. I think it is designed to highly encourage customers to use a paid answering service. They certainly do not make it easy (directions) to do anything else. I am not technologically challenged either.

No, chirping is the only alert to low battery status. Red light indicates either no DC connection or the detector is not properly connected to others in the chain. Green light indicates unit is performing as it should.

The issue with this is that it shuts its communication off after about 10 seconds of non-use from the keypad to conserve power (since it's battery-operated with thin batteries). The Vera can't see it when it's not in communication mode, so it's not really possible to use the Vera with it. I have it in the same network as the Vera, as a general device, and can use Vera AND this together, but I can't control this from the Vera at all.

No, there is a separate unit, I believe it fits into the battery compartment, sold separately for radio triggering. The functionality for it is there but you must purchase the radio trigger unit separately. Without it you get ambient and flash readings only.

Hello, No, I used regular Duracell batteries. The light is pretty bright over my Front door. The sensor works very well also

On the battery itself it says "FOR HIGH-DRAIN DEVICES" so with that information I would believe it would work on your sensor light. But just to be safe what kind of sensor light is it?

This is a door or window sensor. It is not stand alone it was added to my existing system.

I would not do that. I don't think it will give you a true reading of the battery condition. I ran a dedicated pair of wires from Positive & negative battery terminals to the meter. I installed a small toggle switch on the dash & broke the negative wire thru it so that the meter only draws current when the switch is on. otherwise it is always draining the battery. Hope this helps.

Sure, it monitors the voltage of the system. From 4.0 to 30 volts. Mine is installed in an electronics box on the t-top of my boat and allows me to see the battery voltage at a glance

I installed two of these sensors with my Vera Lite and they work very well. Vera can remotely arm or bypass. Vera can send notifications on trigger events (for instance if opened or closed) or low battery condition. Recommended for Vera Lite.

Yes it runs on a battery (included). As far as the Vera lite goes, you'll have to configure the notifications through the Vera lite software. The home automation controller mearly monitors the status (open/closed), you'll have to program the Vera lite to email or text you when it receives the status change from the Zwave device.

Yes. I have all leviton switches and veralite and it works well. Install the switch and put VeraLite in battery mode and learn mode. Place veralite in front of your switch. Press the switch and Vera will blink rapidly signaling it received the signal. From there you can log into vera's webpage/backend and name the switch etc. I have over 15 devices including a thermostat and everything is working great.

Yes, it indicates a low battery by flashing rapidly when turning the light on or off, and it has both mounts.

No this product is only for monitoring battery performance and drains. It can tell you if your battery is running down and if you have parasitic drains that require attendance. But it does not charge your battery. I hope this helps!

These sensors do indeed have a pair of terminals on the circuit board that can be used with an external switch to trigger the sensor. I am using one of these sensors and triggering it with an outdoor passive IR motion sensor to send a motion alert to my Vera home controller.
