Q Sensor or 4-in-1 Sensor? Let's see which suits your installation better!
The ZSE11 is like an optimized version of the ZSE40, with both monitoring for motion, temp, lux, and humidity. However, the ZSE11 comes with faster reporting. It also has an extra battery for longer battery life, in addition to USB power. Lastly, it features S2 security and SmartStart for easier inclusion if your hub supports it. Please note that the ZSE11 is still in beta, so future firmware updates may be needed to iron out any bugs depending on which system you're using.
NEED TO ADD: motion range is smaller on the Q Sensor so it depends what his main use case is. ZSE40 has a more accurate temp sensor and larger motion range, ZSE11 has a better lux sensor and will report lux/temp/humidity even when motion is being detected
