"Works well. Connects seemlessly with Smartthings. Have tested it and it definitely works, plus immediate phone notifications in case your house is on fire and you're not in."

"It works perfectly. It integrates very well into the Smartthings ecosystem. The hub detects it immediately. Detects motion and measures temperature. You can check the temperature directly in the Smartthings app."

"Best Zigbee outlet I have tried. Small design will not block or obstruct other outlets making this the most ideal Zigbee outlet. Connects easily with Homey and was able to create a flow to automate a light under the stairs using a door sensor."

"Works great with Homey. The measurements are precise, the sensor is small and discreet. I am very satisfied with it."

"Love it, love it, love it. I bought a couple of these sensors, the pro and the normal to test it. I had the pro to my garage door which is far from the hub. On the between I had motion sensor also from frient. It works great! The price is awesome for the quality that we get. Besides, it was really easy to add it to the hub (SmartThings). Great job guys! I am getting fan of Frient! Let’s be frients?"

"Great little device. Very pleased with this, used it to automate the fans in my bathroom, humidity above a certain level, the fans stay on. Very handy when the misus has half hour showers and the bathroom is more humid than a tropical rainforest..."

Check out the video!

Well built unit, gives lots of parameters and acts as a repeater, too. Got a couple of them and I must say, super impressed. It does not feel cheap, the case is well secured with 4 screws so no danger to get opened if bumped or dropped, plenty of space inside for cables."

"Great value for money. Great sensor. Bought it after not being able to get the Smartthings motion sensor any longer. Paired easily with my Smartthings hub, and now controls my bathroom light automatically."

"Just what I needed! I needed a Smartthings compatible door opening detector. Put the battery in, paired it with the Smartthings app and it's working! Nice design, quality materials."

Review by GeekNetworkDK

Need a smoke alarm to protect your home? And would you like to connect it with your Homey hub?

Then check out this video review of the Intelligent Smoke Alarm on the Danish YouTube channel GeekNetworkDK.

"Very good product, clear documentation, easy to pair. I have it following a leak in a bathroom formwork…"

"A must-have. Highly recommend - only took a minute to install and provides great, up-to-date readings on current power consumption."

"I bought the heat detector for my (somewhat larger) bicycle shed because it often gets dusty there. The plastic looks solid and valuable. The device looks solid, small and durable. Installation in the Hornbach smart home system was quick and easy. An accidental function test showed loudly that it is not easy to ignore this device."
