SONOFF SNZB-03 ZigBee Motion Sensor, Wireless Motion Detector Get Alerts or Trigger Lights to Turn on, SONOFF Zigbee Bridge Required, Batteries Included

Product Information

One of the first things that we like to do when we review a new device is to check for any issues that might hinder the overall performance of the product.

Many sensors can be programmed to ignore pets and have feature to remember the sensitivity setting you choose, so you don’t have to adjust it each time you arm your system. It took us about 10-15 minutes to get the device connected via Bluetooth to the MOES Tuya ZigBee hub. It's one of the smallest contact sensors we've ever used and we've managed to get it up and running with some Alexa Routines with minimal fuss. The extra settings are nice over the aqaras and I like the form factor better than the aqaras, but the ones I bought are not reliable at all. It can detect motion using its PIR sensor; but is also capable of monitoring temperature, humidity and noise.If you have a Hue hub, you can connect this to a HomeKit setup, and it works with Alexa to trigger Routines. Outdoor sensors usually work within a 100-300 ft range, while indoor sensors usually have a range less than 100 ft. You can monitor the location of your property with the SONOFF motion sensor without having to install expensive surveillance cameras. This tiny sensor features an extra-long, five-year battery life and can mount just about anywhere with a swivel base that works on a wall, ceiling, or flat surface. These let you tweak how sensitive your sensor is to movement, helping you avoid accidentally setting off an alarm when a pet walks by.

I’m just waiting for my new coordinator ( CC2652) and my new 2 routers ( CC2530 + CC2592) to put in place a solid network architecture and be sure of the end-device test results I will get. You can make your home feel more safe and secure with lighting that turns on right away upon motion. You can say, “Alexa, turn on/off (or dim) the light” to control your lights with ZigBee motion sensor. Because it is a battery powered end device, its performance largely depends on the quality of your ZigBee mesh network.

The ONVIS Smart Motion Sensor goes above and beyond its name with additional onboard temperature and humidity sensors. The Treatlife Zigbee Motion Sensor is a smart home motion sensor that works with Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT. It’s worth noting that PIR motion sensors can be triggered by other sources of infrared radiation, such as sunlight or heaters, so it’s important to properly position and test the sensor to avoid false alarms.

The integrated temperature sensor on this device makes it a good choice for automatic indoor climate control. In our tests it turned out the Tuya Mini PIR Motion Sensor delivered on-par results and considering its available configuration variables in ZigBee2MQTT it is not to be discarded so fast. As interesting as this information is, though, if you’re struggling to work out how to best use any smart sensors you have, we’ve put together this handy list of ideas so that you can make your home smarter and automate some dreary tasks.However, a combination of this motion sensor, an internet-enabled hub, and an appropriate app can act as a cost-effective security system. To test it properly, we placed the motion sensor in a way that would provide a wide view of the entry way, but still allow the sensor to be sensitive enough to capture the presence of people walking through the doorway. It comes with mounting screws and zip ties, so it was very simple to attach the sensor to the ceiling. But, before we dive into the specifics of each type of sensor and the best sensors on sale now, let’s go over some need-to-know pointers.
