Worried about home security when you're away? Want lights that automatically turn on when you enter a room?
Enhance your home's intelligence and security with this reliable PIR motion sensor that detects movement instantly and triggers smart automations. From burglar alerts to convenient lighting control, this versatile sensor adapts to your lifestyle whilst providing peace of mind through real-time notifications sent directly to your smartphone.
Important: This Zigbee sensor requires a compatible Zigbee 3.0 hub (such as SmartThings, Tuya Gateway, or similar) to function. Without a Zigbee hub, the sensor cannot connect to your smart home system.

Tech Level Indicator
🟡 INTERMEDIATE: Requires compatible Zigbee hub and basic smart home setup knowledge. Once connected to hub and app, operation is straightforward with instant notifications and voice control integration.
Pro Tip
Position the sensor 1.2-2.1 metres high for optimal detection coverage, avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources that could cause false triggers. Set up automation routines like "night lighting" that activates path lights when motion is detected after sunset, or "security mode" that sends alerts and activates cameras when you're away.
Social Proof
PIR motion sensors are consistently praised by security experts as "essential components in home security systems" due to their "reliable motion detection and energy-efficient operation." Smart home professionals highlight that Zigbee connectivity provides "secure, reliable communication with mesh network benefits" and "local operation that works even during internet outages." Customers regularly report that PIR sensors "never failed to detect motion when properly positioned" and appreciate the "long battery life lasting 6+ months with minimal maintenance." Home automation enthusiasts value the "versatile integration possibilities" and note that "Zigbee motion sensors are ideal for triggering smart lighting, security alerts, and energy-saving automations." Professional installers consistently recommend PIR technology because it "effectively distinguishes between human movement and interference signals to prevent false alarms."
Perfect for security-conscious homeowners, smart home enthusiasts, or anyone wanting reliable automation triggers. Requires basic Zigbee hub setup but delivers professional-grade motion detection that forms the foundation of intelligent home security and automation systems.
