Lutron Caseta and Motion sensor : HomeKit
15 days ago by handcoding
“Is Lutron Caseta the only HomeKit device in your home?
“Among the HomeKit compatible motion sensors:
“Ecobee Room sensor ($79 for pack of 2): This is the one I use and it requires Ecobee thermostat. There’s about 1 second lag, which I think is more than reasonable. Once registered, it will show up as 2 HomeKit devices, (1) Temperature sensor and (2) Motion sensor. It uses CR2032 coin battery that lasts last up to 4 years.
“Philips Hue Motion sensor ($39.99): I read that this is the most reliable of these, but it requires Hue bridge. It uses AAA batteries that lasts minimum of 2 years.
“Elgato Eve Motion ($49.95): Since it uses Bluetooth, expect it to be a bit laggy (I read 2 seconds or more, often a lot more). And since it’s Bluetooth, you must place HomeKit hub (iPad, Apple TV, HomePod) within its range. It uses AA batteries that lasts minimum of 1 year.
“iHome iSS50 ($49.99 to 79.99): This Wi-Fi based sensor might be your best bet, but it’s out of stock and I have no idea how well (or doesn’t) work. It has 5 sensors: (1) motion, (2) temperature, (3) light, (4) sound, and (5) humidity. It is powered by AC, so the placement is more limited (but on the other hand, no need to replace batteries).
“Outside HomeKit, Lutron sells various occupancy sensors, which might work with Caseta products. I have Caseta myself, and I frankly prefer to stay within HomeKit ecosystem.”
