In my mind, the motion sensors are the most essential of the system, especially when it comes down to a basic protection against burglary. The offering protection against burglary the Gigaset at the Door sensors, is in fact hardly usable, since a proper vibration is required to trigger the sensors, which usually will not be reached in an emergency.
By contrast, the motion sensors are very reliable and have been registered all movements reliably.
The integration into the system is also very simple as in the other sensors. In a max. Distance of 1 meter around the base of the connection button on the sensor and the base simultaneously until app / Elements portal have recognized the sensor easier it almost does not go. As with other motion sensors also, one should on the site, since the motion detection works better if the movement direction not in parallel with the sensor and on the sensor. But even if one moves towards the sensor, the detection succeeds, it is only a slight delay compared to the parallel movement.
Unfortunately, it is nowhere the detection angle of the sensor to find and it is difficult to measure this accurately. Based on previous tests with the sensors I would suspect him between 100 and 120 degrees, which should be considered in the preparation and planning of the number of sensors. The detection range is beyond 6 meters, which should be sufficient for most applications.
It is positive that the Gigaset sensor attaches many different mounting options. So is a standing installation, and corner / wall mounting both glued and screwed possible.
One should not regard the way on only sporadic messages in the app. Wonder movements. Following a successful release, the detector waited a short time before it trips again, so you will not be inundated with mass messages. The behavior is quite intentional and purposeful.
Conclusion:
The sensor works very reliably and in conjunction with Siren can be here quite a basic alarm system realize that in the absence of a well informed simultaneously on unsolicited movements and is still priced manageable. The sensor has still produced no false alarms with me in recent weeks and the recognition functioned reliably. Compared with the other sensors provides motion the most benefit for its price and I can therefore recommend the extension of the system.
Update:
For the first time we have relied on the element system on vacation and it worked reliably. The motion has been triggered not only erroneous message and recognized an entree always reliable and reported. So far I have nothing to criticize.
