@Tadlem43 to make this an efficient “security” flood light it needs to have a consistent power source or it would be useless if it weren’t charged enough due to cloudy or rainy weather.
“Eliminating the need for app access” is such a beautiful and refreshing thing to hear these days. Also, very happy the last pic for this product is a face, as it should be.
I see the word “outdoor” and a picture of it installed under an overhang, but does anyone know if it can stand up to Wisconsin winters and be exposed to rain/snow/sleet? I don’t see any specs on temp limits or waterproof-ness.
@NapkinEater The instructions show the units mounted under eaves in all illustrations, both when mounted to soffit or on a wall, and they explicitly have these cautions:
CAUTION: To avoid water damage and the risk of electrical shock, the motion sensor controls must be facing the ground when the installation is complete.
CAUTION: Keep the lamp heads 30° below horizontal to avoid water damage and electrical shock.
Given all of that, I’d say “outdoors, but not directly exposed to precipitation”
@lomerson2@xobzoo 2000 lumens is 25 watts for a halogen or CFL bulb. It’s 250 watts (super bright) for a traditional incandescent.
250 watts is a lot. I bet it’s for both lights together.
The problem I have with lights like this is when they fail, and they will, you have to junk the fixture and fork over more money for a new fixture. I’ve had two similar non-smart fixtures fail. I think standardization of LED “bulb” units built with a socket so replacements can be plugged in would be a good idea.
@MarkML Yeah but at $20 each it cost me that much just to replace the motion sensor on my current lights. I’m going to get these as spares. And I can probably use them on Home Assistant through the Google integration.
@hamjudo I used to say that most of the electronic thermostats for home HVAC systems should be sold in a six-pack, because you were going to replace them every six months if you were lucky. Some of the newer ones are less awful, but there is still absolutely nothing that can top the long-term reliability of an old tilt-switch unit. Those were simple and predictable.
There is NO Wi-Fi capability on this fixture unless the purchaser ‘sets it up’ for this interactivity. It’s a reasonable price for this type of light, if lighting is the goal. Longevity is another question, of course.
If not set up, the defaults persist, and anyone within wifi range can configure it to suit them. Around here, that’s at least four neighbors and an unknowable number of drive-by-and-park open network exploiters. I’d be much happier if it had a physical switch to permanently disable all connectivity.
Gave them a try because while I dislike LED fixtures due to them being essentially “disposable” the price was good enough I figured I’d see if they beat the cheap motion sensor fixtures I have with LED bulbs in them currently.
Well…they’re WAY brighter than the LED floods I had in my old fixtures. Not sure how bright those floods were supposed to be (the writing is no longer legible on them) but these are a great update as far as brightness and light quality.
And they do work without setting up the “smart” features so that’s nice. The installation was actually pretty well done and easier than the old motion sensor fixtures I swapped them for.
I think the reference to mic/speaker is incorrect. I see no indication in the app that there’s any such functionality and the MFG’s website doesn’t mention it either: https://heath-zenith.com/secur360/hz-9302-wh-hz-9302-bz I think someone may have gotten confused by the reference to them being “voice activated” through alexa/google.
I do have a few complaints though:
Unlike every other PIR sensor I’ve ever used they don’t have a light sensor. So they trigger even in the daytime.
Google/Alexa can’t set them back to “auto” mode after turning them on/off. They get switched back into “Off” mode and the motion sensor is disabled. So if you want them to be motion activated you can’t really use the smart features unless you want to go back into the proprietary app and manually change them after. This is really frustrating.
The motion sensor isn’t exposed as a separate device - so you can’t setup something with a service like IFTTT to trigger based on them sensing motion. For my use this would have been VERY helpful and was something I didn’t expect but was hoping they may support.
@Juggle Ok - small correction to complaint #1. Turns out that while it still triggers a motion event and alerts me on my phone it doesn’t actually turn the light on when it’s light out. So it IS doing the right thing here. I was just confused by the flood of alerts I was getting even in the daytime - and this morning I did see it come on but apparently it was still dim enough out that it was triggering the light. Later in the day I saw that it wasn’t actually turning the light on even when I got alerts if it’s bright out.

I’m almost in on this one.
I think it would be better than our current meager light… but I don’t really want another project I’m supposed to do.
I guess I should dutifully show it to the responsible adult in the house and see what she says.
Oh!
Is this 2000 lumens per light, or 2000 total (when both lights are pointed the same direction)?
And can it be run/used without their app?
A wire-it-in-and-turn-it-on option would be nice.
(probably I should just be doing my own research online…)
@xobzoo not sure. But, according to Professor Google, 2000 lumens is equal to 25 watts. That is not much illumination on the driveway or yard!
@lomerson2 @xobzoo 25 watts is the electric usage for a 2000 lumen light. It is equivalent to the brightness of a 250 watt Incandescent bulb.

@MarkML and then the motion sensor would fail
@MarkML Yeah but at $20 each it cost me that much just to replace the motion sensor on my current lights. I’m going to get these as spares. And I can probably use them on Home Assistant through the Google integration.
@MarkML @outz Ignore the “2-Pack” in the description. This is one light, plus a replacement for when the first fails after the warranty expires.

Some of the newer ones are less awful, but there is still absolutely nothing that can top the long-term reliability of an old tilt-switch unit. Those were simple and predictable.
@hamjudo @outz Exactly.
It’s got microphones… why? No just no to random internet enabled microphone spy light.
Another opportunity for stupid people to give free data to amazon and google to sell! Such awesome!!1!
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
Is it compatible with the Tuya Smart Life APP?
I really do badly need to add lights to the sides and rear of my home, but a flood light doesn’t need microphones.
I’m gonna pass on this one.
@Catburd Yeah, that stopped me from buying. I really need to replace the giant halogen lights on my house, too.
Thanks for this write up. I appreciated it today.
Perfect for polluting your neighborhood with unneeded light!

I know it would cost more, but I so wish these lights would have video capabilities.
Well I’m in anyway.

Me: oh cool! I need one of these…………………….
Oh. Fuck that.
Wait, I want these now. Are they on side deal or morning save?
@connorbush At the moment, they are not on the sister sites. I don’t know if they’ll pop up as an item in the 'Thon or not.
