Motion Sensor II

Design refresh is xlnt

My 13 year old motion sensor died and so i got this replacement- very fast and smooth pairing with my existing system. The new design is modern and also detects exceptionally well

Motion sensor

Put the senor over the door going out to the garage. Set it up to turn on garage lights when door is closed so we can see where we are going. It also picks up the other walk in door that leads out to second garage so when coming in from that direction the lights will go on. Have it set to turn of (about 30sec) no more walking in the dark.

Works but scheduling does not

Works fine for activating flood lights with motion, but the scheduling will not work and it’s always active. I tried the troubleshooting, uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting hub, etc. still turns them on during the day so now it sits on a shelf unused.

It's not just a good product

I have been using Insteon products for many years. I have had very few problems. But when I did the support people were right there to help me. Even when a motion sensor failed after just about a year. I sent it in and they sent me a new one. It has been very easy to deal with their support people.

It works

That’s about all I can say. The documentation is minimal, the 3 octet ID code was hard to find, it uses multiple undocumented “buttons”. It only works in my garage when I have it on USB power

Almost perfect

This sensor is great, easy to install and to tweak. HOWEVER it has one thing that is missing. A timer that you could set so that the sensor switch turns off after a certain amount OF TIME, or not at all. Then, it would be PERFECT

Redirecting security cameras via motion detectors

I use motion sensors to detect wildlife around my home. The detector output is used to energize a relay whose output is connected to my security camera DVR. This connection will set the cameras to the location from which the motion was detected. The DVR is capable of acting upon a total of 16 No or Nc inputs. With the loss of the original Insteon, another manufacturer went bi-the-way. The EZIO8SA was an 8 I.O. Insteon capable module. I have a few of these legacy units still running and have downloaded a relay add-on which has a total of 8 outputs. It would be nice to have an Insteon multi-really module to use for this application. This motion detector works very well but the little flex mounting rod is a poor design.

Motion II Is Great

I purchased 2 of these to replace gen 1 Insteon motion sensors. These are much easier to set up with the external set button and the available temporary motion override is helpful. My only complaints are that my gen 1 sensors worked great outdoors and had a better ball & joint mount that made positioning easier. This model is not designed for outdoor use, but I use it to trigger outdoor spotlights that have indoor insteon on/off switches so hopefully they last. One bonus for future versions or software update possibly would be the ability to override the motion from the app as opposed to the sensor since my sensors are mounted high and require a ladder to disable. But, again these sensors work great and were super easy to setup and install! Highly recommend

Compact, with connection caveat

Newer form factor than older previous motion detectors. Significantly smaller, but detailed instructions are lacking. Had connection issued with my Indigo system until I replaced my older USB Modem Interface with a new 2413U v2.7. Connected right up!

The Insteon motion sensor works great. Signal sent to Insteon dimmer switch is flawless. Timer works accordingly to amount of time set to stay on , then turn off signal is sent, turning off light. Great for areas that require lights to be turned on briefly, like a stairway/hallway.

Motion Sensor II

Works as expected. Easy to set up.

MS II

Went back to X10 motion sensor, Insteon to hard to set up.

Thank you for your feedback on our Motion Sensor II. We apologize that you had difficulties setting it up. We would love to help make the process easier for you. Have you already tried contacting our support team? They can be reached at support@insteon.com and are always happy to assist with any setup issues.

Works Perfectly

It's reliable and is easy to set up. I have had three of these devices (motion sensors) now for about 4 years and never have any issues with them.

I just now purchased another motion sensor and placed it approximately 70 ft away from the hub and there are several walls inbetween.... But the connection appears seamless and reliable.

Highly recommend

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review and for recommending our motion sensor. We're thrilled to hear that this has been working well for you over the past several years.

Insteon Motion Sensor II

Good Product. Using 12 thoughout my home.
I use 4 Outside under eves and they still get water in them.
Please make a water proof version. Thank you..

Thank you for your feedback on our Insteon Motion Sensor II. We're glad to hear that you find it to be a good product and that you have multiple units throughout your home. We appreciate your suggestion for a waterproof version and will definitely take that into consideration for future product development.

Motion Sensor II

Motion Sensor

Generally love Insteon…BUT… need a better outdoor/indoor motion sensor… needs a better mount and REALLY needs to be able to be hard wired… in cold weather the batteries die in a few weeks… and the best place to mount it is not easy to get to to change the batteries…

Thank you for providing us with your feedback. We will share this with our product team.

Works Perfect

Repeat purchase. Easy to set up, dependable and reliable.

Motion Sensor does not have the manual settings from the previous versions, very unhappy

I use the motion sensor for the doggie door lights go on for the dogs when they go out when it’s dark. Old version can be set up manually for length of lights being on which new model needs hub not happy.

We apologize the newer sensor does not meet your expectations. We will share your feedback with the product team. If you would like to arrange a return, please contact orders@insteon.com

Motion Sensor and Leak Sensor

easy to install
leak sensor notifies my phone when wet
works great

Entering the front door at night turns of the foyer light

I'm still using the ISY-994 but was easily able to connect with the motion sensor. I created a quick program which turns on the foyer light as I enter the house (only at night). Then after 2 minutes (assuming no further motion) the foyer light is turned off. I cannot comment on how long the battery will last, time will tell. One thing I felt should be improved is the wall mount. Currently the mount sticks straight out in the horizontal direction. Placing the sensor high up on the wall near the ceiling I'm not sure that it will sense motion from that height. Some sort of swivel would help with that problem. This might not even be a problem as far as motion detection is concerned if the field of view was given in the getting started pamphlet. Currently I have the sensor sitting on a table near the front door. This allows me quick access to the buttons and the battery. I currently have the sensor sitting on a table near the front door but since my wife will not allow me the attach anything to her table the orientation sometimes changes. Since it just sits on the table my grandson keeps playing with the sensor changing the sensors view. The sensor functions as it should if you know who would just leave it alone.

Not the same Sensor as 5 years ago.

I have been nursing my 16 year old Insteon sensors along waiting for something great to come along. I tried the sensor I in its first release about 4 years ago. I had a great deal of trouble with them. This model II seems to be working well after a week in service. It definitely was easier to set up than model 1. I am interest in the battery life this winter. My sensors are exterior under porches that automatically turn on the porch lights etc. More news in a few months.

Awesome

I really like the new design and it’s ability to be able to be powered via USB or longer battery

Power Cord

I really enjoy the motion sensors. My only disappointment with them is the power cord is not avaliable in the store.

Ok, but not great

The motion detector needs to be able to be turned on/off per a scene like other devices. The 12 hours off button is stupid. I finally set mine up with a lamp and put it on a scene. Should also be able to use the USB charge without taking out the battery - or at least be able to replace the battery cover when charging.

Not great for battery powered option

This is a great little unit. However, I bought a bunch of USB power supplies and cables to power most of them because the odd-ball batteries are such a pain to deal with. I found some rechargeable ones and bought a bunch with a special charger, but they don't last long on a charge and most of them have failed to hold a charge after just a couple of cycles. That's not Insteons fault, but It would be nice if they provided a reliable battery solution. Even just a link to something reasonably priced that they have tested and determined works well.

I greatly prefer the 9v in the older unit. I think they should have gone with 3 AAA instead of the one 4.5v in this form factor. You can get LiON batteries in all those shapes these days if you want to use them outside.

Also, The "tape" that comes with this seems completely useless. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with it, and I can't find any useful instructions that explain what to do with it. Maybe I'm just dumb.

Works as expected

The Insteon motion sensor replaced a Philips Hue unit I have used for some time. The Philips Hue polling is ~every 30 seconds, which was a long time to wait for the lights to turn on. Insteon products sync instantly with my hub and as a result, my lights turn on right away with movement.
