A long-running Z-Wave multisensor (motion, light, temperature and vibration in one battery unit) that Z-Wave JS has supported for years, so it is one of the safer Z-Wave picks if you already run a stick. The price is the catch: at £53.00 for what is still a plain motion job in most rooms, it is a premium over typical Zigbee PIRs (which this record does not price), and one retailer listing seen in search marks the FGMS-001 as discontinued, so check stock before you plan a whole house around it. Vesternet lists it on the EU 868.42 MHz Z-Wave frequency used in the UK, with S0 security. Worth it for the extra sensors and for Z-Wave users; otherwise it is overkill for lighting automation.
What can Home Assistant control on the Fibaro Motion Sensor (FGMS-001)?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Motion | Binary sensor | PIR motion state. |
| Illuminance | Sensor | Light level for lux-gated automations. |
| Temperature | Sensor | Built-in temperature reading. |
| Vibration / tamper | Binary sensor | Accelerometer vibration and tamper alerts. |
Works through Home Assistant's built-in Z-Wave JS integration (Local Push), which needs a Z-Wave JS server (the Z-Wave JS add-on or Z-Wave JS UI) and a Z-Wave adapter; the device has a maintained config in the Z-Wave JS device database for both firmware ranges. Expect separate entities for motion, illuminance, temperature, vibration/tamper and battery. Vesternet lists it as battery powered with S0 security; I did not verify wake-up behaviour or inclusion quirks.
