Which Aeotec Z-Wave sensors should I buy?

Aeotec's Z-Wave sensors are numbered by generation: the Gen 8 sensors list the Z-Wave 800 series chip and Long Range, and the Gen 7 sensors come before them.

The Gen 8 models are the MultiSensor 8, TriSensor 8, Door/Window Sensor 8, Water Sensor 8 and AërQ 8. The MultiSensor 7, Recessed Door Sensor 7, Water Sensor 7 and Water Sensor 7 Pro are Gen 7. The Home Energy Meter 8 and Gen5 are clamp meters, and the SmokeShield adapts Ei650iW and Ei650W smoke alarms to Z-Wave.

Model code decoder

Many products carry two codes from different code generations. Both are listed.

What the codes mean

2 rulesHow facts are sourced: every cell cites its source below
Code partWhat it identifies
A, B, C suffixA is the US version, B the Australian version and C the European version, as on the Door/Window Sensor 8, Water Sensor 8 and AërQ 8. The Water Sensor 8 has no B version.[6][8][10]
Number in the nameThe number in a sensor's name is its generation: 6, 7 or 8. Aeotec lists the 800 series chip and Long Range on the Gen 8 sensors.[1][2][15][24]
