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.

The media could not be loaded. The newest product from SwitchBot does not disappoint. Very easy install and I know have lights switching on with quick response time. Really good quality build and has that weight I associate with quality products too.

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.

I use this in conjunction with a SwitchBot bulb and they work quite well together. Unfortunately, I can't tell which product is the offending article, but either the bulb or the motion sensor is quite sluggish, so gives a poor reaction time. I use it in my 'broom cupboard' and it is pointed directly at the door. It takes a moment for the indicator light to signal it's interaction & acknowledgement of my motion - but it takes anywhere between 1second and 5+ seconds for the bulb to light up. I assume this is the delay caused by relying on web-server-side activities instead of local-based, but I am not 100% certain of that cause, it's just my reasoning. As I'm only in the cupboard for a few seconds (returning the mop, throwing shoes in there, etc.) the bulb comes on just I'm shutting the door again - somewhat defeating it's purpose.In terms of quality, it's a sturdy build and the magnetic base affords great potentially awkward spots being accommodated as it can be stuck to any metal surface. The device is very easy to set up with the provided app which covers all of SwitchBot's devices & ecosystem and thus the phone can be used to log events. I've generally been happy with the product bar the aforementioned sluggish response-time.

Any new device that I get to try from switch bot doesn't fail to amaze me. Each device seems like it has been made very thoughtfully. In addition for them to just work, they are very relevant to the surroundings.The motion sensor for example has more than one way to mount. It also includes magnet which helps us not to drill or stick anything on the walls if we prefer. Their ifttt integration is the best I've seen so far, with so many daily use options to select from.Keep doing the good work folks!

I Have tried many smart motion sensors , and all have had issues with routines failing or short battery life , I thought I'd give swithbot sensors ago as i previously have purchased switchbot switches and have been very pleased with there functionality and battery life . The motion sensor dose not fall short of that same experience and i am very happy with battery life ,and the fact the sensors also have a light sensor to trigger day night routines based of light is awsome. Overall I'm very happy with switchbot products and have had no issues and would gladly

I would not recommend to anyone. Have had it a week now and found it is so poor at notifications to my mobile it is virtually useless. Vary rarely alerts come through when screen is locked on mobile but they usually decide to come through on mass when you unlock the phone. Had the phone settings checked and they confirmed if it was a setting then they would all come through when screen was locked or not not a mixture of both. More importantly looked for customer support and found it non existent. Avoid or waste your money.

Motion Sensor ReviewTested with Switchbot, Alexa and IFTTT and works well. Note that Alexa routines don’t have the option of triggering on both Motion and Dim/Bright ambient light but the Switchbot system and IFTTT does. Alexa allows you to set a trigger between time ranges. Very easy to set up an Alexa routine to trigger the lights and switch on the radio on motion.The base does require a firm push to fix it to the sensor.
