I bought a 'universal' sensor tester that was anything but

Saw this tool online for $45 that claimed to test every kind of alarm sensor. Spent a whole morning trying to get it to read a simple PIR, but the readings were all over the place. Finally opened it up and found a mess of cheap wires and a circuit board that looked like a toy. Ended up having to redo the whole job with my old meter. Anyone have a go-to tester they actually trust for motion detectors?

Feels like everything's "universal" until you actually need it to work lol.

Ugh, right? Universal just means it fits badly on everything.
