Aqara Zigbee Motion Sensor P1, Smart Motion Detector, Requires AQARA HUB, 5-Year Battery Life, Configurable Detection Timeout, for Alert System and Automations, Compatible with HomeKit, Alexa, IFTTT

EASY TO SETUP, EASY TO USE, GOOD PRICE, THE SENSOR WORKS FAST, SENOR PICKS UP MOTION FAST NO ISSUES.

Fast. Stable. Simple. Easy to connect. No cloud if you don't want it. I find the Lux sensors accurate enough to control lighting. The ping light is bright enough to cause a flash do you don't miss it if you need it and it's got great functionality. At about $20 it's a great buy. Smaller than you'd expect, it blends right in!

I bought this because I wanted to try it out with Home Assistant. So, I'm running a Raspberry Pi 5 with Home Assistant. I also have the SkyConnect Zigbee/Matter (or is it Thread? it confuses me) antenna connected to the Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant. I enabled pairing mode on the Aqara sensor and performed a search on Home Assistant. It found the sensor right away. I was able to configure a few testing Automations like turning on my Hue lights (I also have a Philips Hue bridge with Hue lights around the house) in the Living Room. Pretty neat having that cross product functionality. The motion sensor is responds quickly and is accurate. It also has a light sensor, but I don't use that functionality; at least not yet. It's zigbee 3.0 but I'm not sure if it is upgradable to Matter in the future. I plan to use this in the kitchen for a night light sensor for under the cabinet LED lights. I think it will work great with Home Assistant, WLED, and BTF light strips under the cabinet. I just have to create an automation that turns on the light strips when motion is detected during a specific time frame. Easy peazy!

It’s a great sensor but it does not work through a window even though it was mentioned it would work. I needed something to look outside and trigger a light but since it does not work through the window and is not outdoor rated, I have to find a different use. Easy to setup and works in HomeKit.

These are absolutely awesome. I've had some ZIGBEE devices that had to be very close to the communicator or they'd work sporadically if at all. These don't have that issue anywhere in my house. They're also extremely versatile and configurable. They test occupancy, luminance and movement all in this little package. They also come with a nice stand that allows you to aim it in any direction you find most appropriate. EXCELLENT bang for the buck...

Bought a couple of these to use with Home Assistant. One paired and works great so I set it up where I needed it. The other paired fine but only triggered once and then seemingly just stopped working so I decided to see if I could pull the batteries out and restart the device. Well to get the batteries out you have to remove the bottom cover and then (in tiny print) it tells you to level a specific spot to pull a little container that houses the batteries out. I tried a small plastic pick, a screw driver, a pocket knife, nothing was working so I applied a little more force and the plastic battery tray started to crack. After a little more convincing the tray came out but now it's broken and the plastic on the bottom of the sensor is misshapen. Why in the world would you not just make the bottom screw on our at least make the battery tray rotate to lock into place? Having to pry it out and ultimately break the thing is ridiculous. I did manage to get it back together and the status light came on, it showed triggered once again turning on my lights and hasn't worked again since, so the whole battery struggle was for nothing and now I'm stuck with a broken sensor that I'm guessing I can't retrun...

Worst design ever! it claims to detect 7m, but turned out to be around 1m! Also the sticker is VERY VERY tight, with residues, AND battery change? no way! you have to take the whole thing off then change the battery. I'm returning it. Aqara contact sensor is perfect. but this? garbage! edited: the response is not too bad since i switched to zigbee2mqtt. It's more responsive! But the range still sucks especially at corners

First off, this paired quickly and easily with my Sonoff Zigbee stick in Home Assistant, so ignore all of those that say it can only be used with Aqara hubs. It's a great sensor, detecting motion quickly. I like the fact that it also has a luminance sensor that I can automate off of to make the sensor only do stuff if it's dark. Only drawback is the supplied sticky pad only stayed stuck to my door frame for 5 days. Yes, I had cleaned the frame properly beforehand. Also, the sensor itself sticks to the mounting attachment using a sticky pad that they only supply one of. That wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for the fact that you have to remove it to change the battery. Given that, they should have supplied enough to last the lifetime of the product.

The range is pretty far so set this up high or tape the lower half if you have pets! Works flawlessly on mqtt

Använder dessa tillsammans med Home Assistant, vilket fungerar helt okej. De detekterar gångrörelse mycket bra men har svårare att detektera mindre rörelse såsom viftningar med armar, osv. Går även att smyga förbi sensorerna om detta görs mycket långsamt. Stort plus är att man kan konfigurera sensortiden, osv.
