SwitchBot Smart Motion Door Sensor - Wireless Home Security System, PIR Motion Detector Alert, Add SwitchBot Hub Mini to be Compatible with Alexa

I have the Hub Mini and 2 Motion Sensors. I initially bought the hub and 2 sensors on a deal. To start with, I didn't have any issue setting up the hub or one of the sensors, but the second one turned out to be faulty. I established this with great help from Customer Support. I got a replacement which worked without any problem. I use one sensor to turn on a hallway light, on a schedule, during the night. The other one has different schedules enabled to turn on lights in our living room late at night, turn on the light and my PC first thing in the morning and also turn on my PC when I get home from work in the afternoon (all via Alexa routines)! The sensors are very well made and the range they cover is at least 30-40 feet. Battery life is really good - almost a year so far, even though they are in highly active areas, and the app even tells you how much battery life is remaining. These really are impressive little devices and Switchbot provide great service.

share my SwitchBot experience I use my SwitchBot motion sensor in my sons room. Every morning whether it be going to school or at the weekend when he is in bed reading before he gets up he will have his reading light on at the very least and sometimes his down lights in the ceiling., he never turns these off even though he has smart buttons on his bed and a smart switch on the wall at his bedroom door. I have set a routine in Home assistant for every day between 7.30am & 8.30am for: if the lights in his room are on and there has been no motion for 10 minutes turn off the lights. Works a treat.

Excellent sensor from a great brand.Better than the free sky sensor i had before.Good price.Very easy to setup.

This motion sensor works well and when combined with Alexa routines provides for a useful addition to the smart home. I use it to turn lights on overnight when someone enters the landing from a bedroom. It then stays on for 10 minutes and switches off again if no more activity is detected. There are two limitations. The first is an Alexa routine limitation which does not allow for more sophisticated combinations of trigger. e.g. I can't say only detect motion if after sunset but before sunrise. I can however put in time limitations. The 2nd limitation is that the thermal sensor is not particularly sensitive even on its most sensitive setting. I have a moderately long landing and it does not detect movement at the far end. I would say it is fairly reliable up to 5m or so but not beyond. There are quite a few factors that effect this so I can't give a specific distance. The app itself is good and allows for more sophisticated routines than Alexa, however will only allow you to control other Switchbot products and not for example Smartlife compatible switches hence why you may well resort to Alexa (or Google) routines.

Very nice item and good quality. Thank you seller.

Fácil conexión y funciona correctamente

J’aime bien ce détecteur. Plutôt réactif avec possibilité d’affiner dans les paramètres de l’application. Je l’apprécie même plus que mes détecteurs Philips Hue. Et oui ! Avec Philips, même au minimum, les détecteurs sont trop sensibles. Je passe devant la porte au loin et la lumière s’enclenche, je dois bientôt frôler les murs :-) Avec switchbot ça s’allume quand je rentre. Aussi, avec Philips, 10 secondes avant la fin du « timer » la lumière se baisse et il faut bouger avant que ça ne s’éteigne. Avec Switchbot, quand un mouvement est détecté, le « timer » de réinitialise. Au bout d’une minute d’inactivité il considère qu’il n’y a pas de mouvement. Je peux bouger à tout moment et ça repart pour une minute. C’est beaucoup plus pratique quand on veut éclairer une pièce quand/tant qu’il y a de la présence. Pas la peine de bouger comme un imbécile au dernier moment pour que la lumière reste allumée. Grâce à l’API je l’utilise avec Home Assistant et je le fait fonctionner avec mes lumières Philips HUE. Le webhook est enclenché quand un mouvement est déterminé et quand il n’y a plus d’activité. Il est aussi possible d’avoir des infos sur la luminosité ambiante. Je ne sais toujours pas si je préfère cet artivle ou le contact de porte de la même marque qui gère aussi le mouvement. A la fin je crois que son avantage c’est de pouvoir le positionner où on veut. Alors que finalement, le contact de porte est censé aller sur une porte… du coup pas toujours adapté à ce qu’on veut faire.
