FIBARO Products Now Integrate with HomeSeer Home Control Systems

  • Jul 22, 2015

FIBARO announced that its three most popular sensors now integrate with the HomeSeer home control system. The three sensors join a lineup of eight FIBARO devices that already integrate with the HomeSeer system.

The FIBARO Motion Sensor is a highly advanced wireless device with a built-in motion sensor, temperature sensor, light sensor, and accelerometer. With a diameter of less than 1-3/4 inches (under 44 millimeters), the FIBARO Motion Sensor -- whose design was inspired by the pupil of a cat’s eye -- is the smallest device of its kind in the world.

The FIBARO FGFS101 Z-Wave Flood Sensor sends wireless Z-Wave commands when water leaks are detected. Designed after a drop of water, it can be used with HomeSeer controllers to sound alarms, send notifications or activate Z-Wave devices, such as water valves. It also has a tamper feature that indicates if the cover has been removed or if the device was knocked over, and a built-in temperature sensor that can alert users if there is a sudden increase or decrease in temperature.

The FIBARO Door/Window Sensor is extremely small and easy to mount. Available in seven colors to match any home, it also has inputs for any binary sensor. It can be used with the HomeSeer system to monitor the opening and closing of doors, windows and gates.

HomeSeer offers a complete family of home automation systems, all of which include the company’s HS3 software and work with their HSTouch mobile apps for home control from any location. HomeSeer offers a range of system controllers, from its smallest and most affordable controller, HomeTroller Zee S2, to its premium, full-featured HomeTroller S6.

Said HomeSeer Director of Sales, Mark Colegrove, “At HomeSeer, we understand the importance of supporting emerging and innovative technologies and of working with great partners. We are very happy to be add FIBARO and its innovative products to the growing list of industry-leading products and technologies that are supported by HomeSeer.”

“Working with quality brands like HomeSeer, a company with thousands of systems installed worldwide, helps FIBARO to greatly increase awareness of the unique capabilities and design of our Motion Sensor,” said Rich Bira, managing director, FIBARO USA.  “Our partnership with HomeSeer gives customers a wider range of home automation options, helping them to create the smart home environment that best meets their unique needs.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
