Aeotec MultiSensor6

Looks to be an interesting device: MultiSensor 6

Thats a pretty handsome looking device and so is the new Smart Switch 6. I've been holding off on adding devices to Indigo based on what Aeon Labs is cooking up.

I also think this is a great looking device and makes the old Multi-sensor look like a dinosaur. I have a feeling that Z-wave devices will continue to improve at a pace similar to computers.

This device looks cool, but perhaps a stupid question -- they mention encrypted communications... is this using the secured channel or whatever the heck they call it that the locks use (and thus Indigo can't access) or is this merely part of the protocol and marketing speak?

... they mention encrypted communications....

AFAIK it is a standard feature that comes with Z-Wave Plus.

There is a good write up on Z-Wave Plus (Series 500) on the Aeotec site

Agree that z-wave is growing like crazy. Look at that anouncement:

If you followed the news from the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show you probably heard Samsung’s CEO BK Yoo announce his commitment to creating interconnected devices; stating that by 2017, almost all of Samsung products will be optimized with smart home technology.

Yoo is proving his commitment to the internet of things by making great strides toward investing in smart home technology through the purchase of SmartThings, a maker of wireless smart-home kits. Following this acquisition, SmartThings has joined the Z-Wave Alliance Board of Directors.

I have two of these, but they don't work yet with Indigo. Submitted details.

Indigo does not yet support the MultiSensor 6. We will not be announcing any ETA, but supporting all Aeotec modules is a high priority for us.

Any updates on this? I recently acquired one and was somewhat surprised that it didn't work, given previous support for Aeotec products. It's quite a nice little sensor, and I'd love to be able to use it.

+1 for me - I have one sitting on the shelf, waiting to be used. Thank you!

+1 for me - we have to wait indigo 7?

I have two in my box of things that look cool but don't work in Indigo. It would be nice to empty that box!

One of my first sensors. Support would be much appreciated

I've had mine since they became available, gathering dust on m desk.

I know what you are talking about. Can't see mine anymore, due to all the dust
