I use the Homeseer sensors that you mention. When I think about the various sensors that I use, they're up on the top of the "cool" list.
Mine might be a just slightly older version than the ones they're selling now. Mine have the same model number, but the instructions say incandescent only. I looked at the manual at your link, and that one indicates LED is fine, so there has probably been a minor update.
I absolutely love them. They take a bit of tinkering with lux and timing settings within Hubitat, but then you're pretty much good to go.
One thing that's nice: You get a motion detected signal in Hubitat. I have one spot where if there is motion, it probably means that either someone is working around the house at night, or breaking in, so I set that one motion detector to turn on ALL exterior floodlights.
Second thing that's REALLY nice: You can remotely turn motion sensing on/off. So on my back porch, I like to go out and look at stars at night -- so I don't like the motion lights to come on then.
I also use Lutron Caseta in my house, so I put a two switch decora plate over the one switch that controls the porch light, and stuck a Pico remote in the second spot.
If you hit the bottom button, Hubitat turns off the motion sensor and starts a 2 hour timer to turn the motion sensor back on by itself -- because I will forget to turn it back on. Top Pico button turns motion sensing back on -- in case I do remember. I put a clear plastic "safety switch" cover over the dumb on/off switch to prevent the light from being accidentally turned off. ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BGV8S88 )
They also deliver illuminance data to Hubitat, so if you want to use that for local weather impacted dawn/dusk settings (or whatever else you want Hubitat to control based on outside light), you can.
Hey /u/Yurishimo,
I have an idea on when they'll release, but it seems like something inevitably happens!
What I can say is the On/Off's (shown in the video) are in Chicago right now, enroute to HQ. We will have a limited batch available early next week and then the ones headed to Amazon are shipping on the 7th, so I'd anticipate them being on Amazon around the 14th. The pages have been built so you can check the status in a week or so here:
Red Series https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T26MVYC/
Base Model
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T2416D8/
Hope this helps and thanks for the support!
I'm pleased to report back all delays I saw have ceased!
In case others have similar issues ... here's my LAN hardware.
None of my switches are managed, so unfortunately, I can't check port status or force them to 100/full.
Dropped pings and random Alexa timeouts only happen when Hubitat is connected to a switch port on my wireless router, a Buffalo WZR-1750DHP. With this device, I have no control over LAN port speed or duplex (from GUI or CLI); only WAN. I can't even see LAN port current status.
Everything is fine when Hubitat is connected to either one of the cheap-o switches I have connected to the WZR-1750DHP. For the record, those are:
TP-Link TL-SG1005D 5-Port Gigabit Switch
TP-Link TL-SF1005D 5-Port Fast Ethernet Switch
Thanks again for your guidance! I came from a first-gen Wink hub, giving up on them after all the recent outages. I'm loving all I'm able to do with Hubitat so far. The only thing left on Wink is my Quirky Power Pivot, which is headed to the curb along with the Wink hub once I get new smart switched outlets in place.
If you have smart locks (zwave) you'll want repeaters that handle secure functions - this one work well
I use these zigbee plugs with Hubitat. They're relatively inexpensive and work very well as repeaters in a zigbee mesh.
Both work really well with Hubitat.
Edit - I also jumped from Wink to Hubitat. You will like the switch! I had some iHome plugs as well, but I gave those away more than a year ago because iHome's cloud was never particularly reliable for me.
I mostly use smart plugs in addition to my z-wave light switches but added one of these a couple of weeks ago: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M6CKJXC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It seems to be helping so far. I was having intermittent issues with my z-wave locks and since adding this things seem to be more reliable.
Sengled Smart LED

I used this for an extender (plus it gives me a smart plug to control a lamp):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P889L8M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also bought a few Peanut plugs for Zigbee.
I suggest the ERIA Audorosmart Motion Sensor. Very small, very fast, very compatible with Hubitat (native driver):
