No - this is a shortcoming. These sensors are very very chatty. I will suggest an alternative at the end of my answer
If you pair it on battery it won't repeat and will save you some battery, but if i remember, i think I only got about 3 months out of them. I have mine mains powered.
really nothing. Unless you placed them in a greenhouse or something. I'm sure there is a use for it, but nothing comes to mind for me.
Tamper - someone beating on a door - again not the most useful. You might be able to use it for a dryer or washer to show when the cycle completes .. Hmm ... maybe I'll try that.
None - because it doesn't report consistently enough to make a difference. You can set these to report more often at the cost of the battery, but I use lux to determine if a light should turn on. Works for that as long as there's a long interval in trigger. You could set it up to poll every so often, but battery. It comes down to the fact that the multi's are z-wave and can't report as quickly to support good battery life. They're naturally slower to report.
Now, If you're looking for something that is going to consistently report temp and humidity real time, then look at @iharyadi 's environment sensor. THAT little guy is amazing. I use it to adjust my fan speeds real time. they're not pretty, but they are amazing.
here is a link to the one I bought. But, there have been others since. You might just pm him and find out what he's got. I think he sells them on ebay. They're worth the wait. I guarantee you'll like them. He has a corresponding driver, so you'll want to ask him about that so that you get it installed to your hub.
