The product site says the following: "Visonic MCT-340 E sensors are NOT compatible with XFINITY Home or Wink Hub systems. The door/window sensors WILL work with Wink Hubs that are updated to at least ver 3.9. (If you're on 3.4.4, be prepared to try updating like 40 times.) Select Generic Zigbee Device and this will work fine.

The door sensors work great, but have dropped to around 70% battery on normal usage in the last 2 months. It seemed to drop rapidly but now has not changed for awhile.
The bosch motion sensors on the other hand do not work well for me because they detect on a 3 minute timer (once motion is detected, it waits another 3 minutes before trying to detect again). This isnt mentioned anywhere on the page, so because I have timers set under 3 minutes, I had to return them. In comparison, ST and Iris motion sensors detect much quicker.
Beware that you have to pay for your own shipping back for returns.
tldr: door/window sensor work great. motion sensors, not or my usage, unless you use them for security purposes.

The return process is more or less a pain, you have to pay for your own shipping, and I still haven't received the refund yet. They do mention a restocking fee, which I will not be happy at since the non-mention of the timer is a pretty big deal.

Good to know about the timing... Thanks for sharing that. Makes any automation you want to build using those triggers a non-starter.

Thanks for the info on the Bosch 3 minute reset.
I too was unaware of the 3 minute timing on the motion which really limits their use. The way they work is actually a motion trigger then immediate motion reset. You will never see motion because it resets to "No motion" immediately. I created a simulated device that updates to motion and then waits 3 minutes to the status updated... that allows it to show motion.Here is an image of the motion/no motion reset I am referring to:https://www.dropbox.com/s/qnqlrnu...0.PNG
Yes, understood. I use them for similar use cases. Waiting an arbitrary 3 minutes to trigger an event, be it turning off the lights or opening a garage door, makes the automation clunky and (appear) slow. At the very least, you should be able to edit the default values for the motion sensors. Otherwise, they are worthless with that amount of delay.
