The Aeotec TriSensor 8 is a versatile Z-Wave 800 Series device designed to enhance your smart home security and automation. This compact sensor integrates three essential functions: motion detection, temperature sensing, and ambient light measurement. It is engineered for reliable performance and broad compatibility with various Z-Wave gateways.
Figure 1: Aeotec TriSensor 8 and its packaging.
With its advanced Z-Wave 800 chip, the TriSensor 8 offers extended range capabilities, including Z-Wave Long Range, providing up to 2500 feet of connectivity in optimal conditions. It operates wirelessly using a single CR123A battery, offering an estimated battery life of one year, making it convenient for placement anywhere in your home without the need for power outlets.
The sensor's motion detection is accurate up to 23 feet, while its temperature sensor measures from -10C to 50C (14F to 122F) with an accuracy of 1C. The light sensor provides readings from 0 to 30000 LUX with 3% accuracy. These capabilities allow for precise automation scenarios, such as turning lights on only when motion is detected and the ambient light is low, or adjusting heating based on room temperature.

Familiarize yourself with the device's physical features, including the sensor dome, battery compartment, and any pairing buttons, before proceeding with installation.
Setup sareng Instalasi
1. Pamasangan batré
The TriSensor 8 is powered by one CR123A battery. To install the battery:
- Carefully open the back cover of the TriSensor 8.
- Insert the CR123A battery into the battery compartment, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Tutup panutup tukang kalawan aman.
Figure 5: Battery installation for the TriSensor 8.
2. Pairing with a Z-Wave Gateway
The TriSensor 8 must be paired with a compatible Z-Wave gateway (hub) to function within your smart home system. Compatible gateways include, but are not limited to, Samsung SmartThings, Vera, Zipabox, Open Z-Wave, Homeseer HS3, Domoticz, and Isy994i ZW universal controller.
The exact pairing process may vary slightly depending on your Z-Wave gateway. Generally, the steps involve:
- Put your Z-Wave gateway into inclusion (pairing) mode. Refer to your gateway's manual for specific instructions.
- On the TriSensor 8, locate the action button (often a small button near the battery compartment or on the back).
- Press the action button once. The sensor's LED indicator may flash to confirm it's attempting to pair.
- Once successfully paired, your gateway should confirm the addition of the new device. The sensor's LED may change state (e.g., turn solid or off).
- If pairing fails, try moving the sensor closer to the gateway and repeat the process. You may need to exclude (unpair) the device first if it was previously paired or if the inclusion failed multiple times.
3. Pertimbangan panempatan
Optimal placement is crucial for the TriSensor 8's performance:
- Deteksi gerak: Place the sensor where it has a clear line of sight to the area you wish to monitor. Avoid placing it directly facing heat sources or in direct sunlight, which can cause false triggers.
- Panginderaan Suhu: For accurate temperature readings, avoid placing the sensor near vents, windows, or appliances that generate heat or cold.
- Panginderaan Cahaya: Ensure the sensor's light sensor is not obstructed and is exposed to the ambient light conditions of the room.
- Pamasangan: The TriSensor 8 can be placed on a flat surface or mounted on a wall or ceiling using the provided mounting accessories. Consider the desired detection area when choosing a mounting height.

Parentah Operasi
Once paired, the TriSensor 8 will begin reporting data to your Z-Wave gateway. You can then use your gateway's interface or associated smart home apps to view sensor data and create automation rules.
Deteksi gerak
The TriSensor 8 detects motion within a range of up to 23 feet. When motion is detected, the sensor sends an update to your Z-Wave gateway. You can use this trigger to activate lights, security alarms, or other smart devices. The sensor features adjustable calibration with 3 levels of sensitivity, allowing you to fine-tune its responsiveness to suit your environment and avoid false triggers from pets or minor movements.

Suhu Sensing
The integrated temperature sensor provides readings between -10C and 50C (14F and 122F) with high accuracy. This data can be used to monitor room climate, trigger heating or cooling systems, or simply log temperature changes over time. For example, you can set up an automation to turn on a heater if the room temperature drops below a certain threshold.
Figure 8: Temperature sensing for climate control.
Lampu Sensing
The TriSensor 8 measures ambient light levels from 0 to 30000 LUX. This feature is particularly useful for energy-saving automations, such as ensuring lights only turn on when it's dark enough, even if motion is detected. This prevents unnecessary lighting during daylight hours.

Z-Wave 800 Series and Long Range
The TriSensor 8 utilizes the latest Z-Wave 800 Series technology, offering improved communication range and efficiency. It also supports Z-Wave Long Range (LR), which can extend the wireless communication distance up to 2500 feet in open air, significantly improving network coverage in larger homes or properties.

Pangropéa
Ngagantian batré
The TriSensor 8 is designed for long battery life (approximately 1 year). When the battery level is low, your Z-Wave gateway should report this status. To replace the battery:
- Buka panutup tukang alat.
- Cabut batré CR123A anu lami.
- Insert a new CR123A 3V Lithium battery, observing the correct polarity.
- Tutup panutup tukang kalawan aman.
It is recommended to use high-quality lithium CR123A batteries for optimal performance and battery life.
beberesih
To maintain the sensor's performance, periodically clean its exterior. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the device in water.
Pamérésan masalah
If you encounter issues with your Aeotec TriSensor 8, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- Device Not Responding/Offline:
- Check the battery level. Replace if low.
- Ensure the device is within range of your Z-Wave gateway. Walls and large metal objects can reduce signal strength.
- Try re-pairing the device with your Z-Wave gateway. You may need to perform an exclusion first.
- Inaccurate Readings (Temperature/Light):
- Verify the sensor's placement. Ensure it's not near heat sources, direct sunlight, or obstructions.
- Some Z-Wave gateways allow for calibration offsets for temperature. Check your gateway's settings.
- False Motion Triggers:
- Adjust the motion sensor's sensitivity settings through your Z-Wave gateway, if supported.
- Ensure the sensor is not pointing at moving objects (e.g., curtains, pets) or heat sources.
- Inclusion/Exclusion Issues:
- Perform a factory reset on the TriSensor 8 (refer to the official Aeotec support documentation for specific steps, as this often involves pressing the action button multiple times or holding it).
- Ensure your gateway is in the correct mode (inclusion for adding, exclusion for removing).
