HomeSeer Releases HSM100-EU Euro Z-Wave Multi-Sensor
HomeSeer Technologies has released the Euro version of its popular Z-Wave multi-sensor. Shipping now, the HSM100-EU is designed to sense motion, temperature, and light will control up to 4 other Z-Wave devices directly.
Homeowners with conventional automation systems can use the HSM100-EU as a basic Z-Wave motion sensor. Those with HomeSeer automation systems can take full advantage of the unit’s other features to create more complex automation events for whole house control of Z-Wave and non Z-Wave automation products.
Like other Z-Wave products, the HSM100-EU is completely wireless and is powered by 3 AAA batteries. A built-in battery monitor may be programmed to alert HomeSeer users by email, phone or voice announcement when the battery needs to be changed.
HSM100-EU is designed to work seamlessly with Z-Wave products from industry leaders such as Cooper, Leviton, Intermatic, Wayne Dalton, and ACT.
