Motion, Light and Temperature Sensor AEOTEC TriSensor AEOEZWA045 — Z-Wave

AEOTEC TriSensor AEOEZWA045 is a compact Z-Wave sensor that combines motion detection, ambient light measurement and temperature monitoring in a single device. Designed for smart home systems, the TriSensor sends motion, light level and temperature data to a Z‑Wave controller to support automated scenes, lighting control and climate-related rules. The device fits into multi-sensor setups for occupancy detection, energy management and adaptive lighting based on measured conditions.

Advantages

The TriSensor integrates three sensing functions into one housing, reducing installation points and simplifying wiring and placement. Its Z‑Wave compatibility enables wireless communication with a wide range of controllers and hubs, allowing real-time reporting and event-triggered automation. The compact form factor supports flexible mounting options while the combined data stream from motion, light and temperature improves the reliability of occupancy-based automations and energy-saving strategies.

Suitable for

• Detecting occupancy in rooms, corridors and entryways
• Automated lighting control based on ambient light level
• Temperature monitoring for HVAC automation and scene conditions
• Energy-saving scenarios and presence-based device control

Key specifications

• Sensor types: passive infrared (motion), ambient light sensor, temperature sensor
• Wireless protocol: Z‑Wave for communication with compatible controllers
• Power: typically battery-powered (compact form factor suitable for wall or corner mounting)
• Mounting: compact housing designed for wall, corner or flat-surface installation
• Reporting: motion detection events, measured illuminance levels and temperature readings

How to use

Install the TriSensor in a location with clear line of sight for motion detection and appropriate exposure to ambient light and air temperature. Pair the device with a Z‑Wave controller according to the controller's inclusion procedure; once included, configure reporting intervals and trigger thresholds through the controller interface. Use motion events to trigger scenes or switches, use light level readings to enable daylight-dependent lighting, and use temperature readings to inform HVAC or climate automation rules. Position the sensor at typical human height and avoid placing it directly behind large objects that could block motion or light sensing.

Recommendations

For reliable motion detection, mount the sensor so its field of view covers the primary movement area. Calibrate light-level thresholds in the controller during different times of day to prevent unnecessary activations. Replace batteries according to the controller's battery-level reports and avoid placing the sensor in locations with extreme temperature fluctuations for accurate temperature readings.
