I am planning on adding a couple of motion detectors to my system. Primarily to turn lights on/off. These two are priced about the same. The GoControl is listed in the Wink App. The Ecolink is not, but can be added under Z-wave sensor.
I am concerned about possible delay activating lights when motion is detected. Can anyone with personal experience with either of these tell me how well they work for this purpose? Also, difficulty adding them to the system and keeping them there.
I have the GoControl. It's not the fastest. MjnMixael's 4-6 seconds seems about right. I've not noticed any change to that recently. Practically speaking that means that rather than coming on the moment that you enter enter a room or otherwise trigger the sensor, you'll be a good way across it before the associated light comes on.
The delay seems not so much with the sensor itself. I can see the indicator on the unit light up when it senses movement and while there is some minimal delay, that part's relatively quick. It's from that point on through the back end to process that trigger and then trigger the light which takes most of the time. Given that, I kinda doubt that it's going to be much better with another sensor. But now that I said that I'd note that for whatever reason the door sensors seem much faster. More like 2 seconds on the outside typically (other than at some odd times when they're just unusually slow).
The GoControl motion sensor isn't the easiest to pair. I have trouble with it every time I have to do it. Not really a problem you just have to do it the right way and there's some difference vs the instructions that I can't ever remember until I mess with it for a while. Once you get it, then it's fine. No problems with it working from there.
