Aeotec TriSensor 8
Why Aeotec TriSensor 8?
Many smart home automations depend on knowing when someone is present, how bright a room is, and what the current temperature is. Aeotec TriSensor 8 combines all three functions into a single compact sensor, providing motion detection, temperature monitoring, and light measurement for smarter automations and energy management. Powered by Z-Wave 800 Series technology, it offers improved range, lower power consumption, and support for Z-Wave Long Range.
Designed for smart homes using SmartThings, Home Assistant, Hubitat, and other Z-Wave platforms, TriSensor 8 can automate lighting, climate control, and security routines based on real-time environmental data. It features a motion detection range of up to 10 meters and a light sensor capable of measuring up to 30,000 lux.
