The delay is way too much to make it effective as a trigger for lights.

Great little motion sensor. Good integration and implementation choices with the Switchbot app, though triggering of automations can be a tad laggy.

My review is regarding the integration with Google Home and Matter. The product itself functions as it's supposed to, within the Switchbot app. However, one issue within the app is that I receive a notification for every motion trigger. I can turn off the notification, but I'd rather use notification schedules such as when I'm away or on vacation. It appears I can only turn off the notification. The primary reason for 1 star review was for my intended purchase. I wanted to use the motion sensor as a Google Home automation trigger. If no motion was detected for a defined amount of time, I wanted it to turn off the lights. Another possible use, if I purchased more sensors, was to set up a Google Home automation that if motion is detected at night, a night light would turn on. The Switchbot app does integrate with Google Home and the sensor does show up in Google Home. However, Google Home treats the motion sensor as a on/off light. It WILL NOT function as a Google Home automation trigger. In Google Home it will show off all the time. If I open the device in Google Home, create motion, it will show as "on". However, that is the only time the status of the device will "refresh" in Google Home. It WILL NOT function as a Google Home trigger. I found this stated by support in an article at the Switchbot website. I'm sorely depressed I can't use it. I'll keep it, but hope more functionality will be released soon to make it more relevant for me. I guess for now I can manually turn on notifications when I'm away from home.

I guess I was just tired of saying, "Alexa, turn..." With this sensor I can now walk into the kitchen and the light comes on. My only problem... it takes a good 5 or so seconds for it to turn the light on. In that time frame I have walked to the sink and stood there for a few seconds or so, looking into the dark. But, so far so good, I like it, I just to figure out how get the light to turn on in a few seconds. Good product.

Worked great for over a year. After the latest firmware upgrade to 1.3 it hasn't worked again. I took a second one out of the box which got auto-upgraded and also never worked.Update: After 24 hours or so of not working, it now works again. I don't know if there was a fw update since 1.3 that went into it automatically

The motion sensor is another addition to my Switchbot eco system, as a part of my smart house design. I have the Hub Minis, Bulbs, Plugs, and Thermostat/Hygrometer Plus, all performing various routines and automations, a total of 24 devices.All of the devices maintain connectivity to my network and router, and are simple to set up and manage wether its through the native Switchbot app, 3rd party apps like Simple Commands, or IFTTT, and my voice assistant "Alexa".For the office lights I went into the Switchbot app, performed the calibration for ambient light, and set up one for dim lighting and one for bright lighting. Created the required "Auto" routines/scenes to control the lighting. Now once motion is detected at the doorway the lights turn on and remain on while activity is taking place. I did need to set a condition for "no motion for 10 minutes" to assure the lights remain on while working in the office, but turn off automatically when the office is vacated.Switchbot has provide quality products for a reasonable price, they are my go to brand for smart home implementation!

I have tried several motion sensors to get my bathroom lights automated. This one finally worked. There is a slight delay, yet I wonder if that's due to the motion sensor or Alexa. I'd like it if the activation of the light is faster. Nevertheless, I'm happy that I don't have to keep in mind if I turned the lights on or off (I'm a master of forgetting to turn them off). I installed the sensors a bit delayed, and all of a sudden; the 2nd sensor wasn't recognized by Alexa; reaching out to their TechSupport helped, and my issue had been resolved (Firmware-Update). Overall a really good company, and I can highly recommend it.

[ CONFEZIONE ] : 5/5Eccellente, tutto il necessario a portata di mano. Oltre al device, troviamo un piccolo ma ben scritto manuale di istruzioni, la base che può essere incastrata sia sul fondo che sul retro del device, 2 batterie AAA ed uno sticker. Davvero tutto ciò che dovrebbe esserci, anche in un packaging contenutissimo. Eccellente.[ ESTETICA E QUALITA’ COSTRUTTIVA ] : 5/5Come per tutti i prodotti switchbot, molto moderna: Semplice, curata, squadrata e minimale. Il colore Bianco si adatta allo stile di ormai tantissimi appartamenti. Le dimensioni sono davvero minime. Qualità costruttiva impeccabile: l’aggancio in 2 punti differenti non solo dimostra questo aspetto ma anche la grande ingegnerizzazione che c'è dietro un piccolo device come questo. Tra l’altro, sempre in termini di ingegnerizzazione e semplicità di utilizzo per l'utente, importante il magnete alla base, che consente di utilizzare il sensore su oggetti magnetici senza dove forare muri. Massima approvazione.[ FUNZIONAMENTO ] : 5/5Partiamo dalla prima installazione, banalissima e molto rapida: login su app switchbot, click su "+" per aggiunta device, click su "Motion Sensor", seguire il wizard. Durata 1 minuto ed avrete il device configurato.Per quanto concerne, invece, il funzionamento come sensore c'è poco da dire se non che funziona alla perfezione. Preciso, puntuale e senza sbavature. Il detection range è di max 9 metri frontalmente e 4metri con una angolazione laterale (o sopra/sotto in base a come si installa) di 55°, quindi 110° di angolo di visuale. Una feature interessante è il sensore di luminosità, grazie al quale il device capisce se l'ambiente è illuminato o meno riuscendo, pertanto, a scatenare una serie di routine che solo la fantasia può limitare. Impeccabile![ PREZZO ] : 5/5Rapporto qualità/prezzo impareggiabile. A parità di qualità, dotazione e dettagli non si trova di meglio.

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.

Aproveché que tengo un hub de swicht para adquirir este sensor para conectarlo con una bombilla inteligente desde una rutina co Alexa.Va genial. Puedes regular la sensibilidad y responde rápido.

This is great and i've been waiting for a switchbot motion detector to come out. This seems to detect motion very well, however i have not been able to get my routine to work with it. it's supposed to turn on my kitchen when motion is detected, yet this has not happened. so it works well to detect motion, but i think the software needs a little work to integrate it into home automation
