AqaraMotion Sensor P1(Upgraded Version), REQUIRES AQARA HUB, 5-Year Battery Life, Configurable Detection Timeout, for Alert System and Automations, Compatible with HomeKit, Alexa, IFTTT

I’ve been using the Aqara Motion Sensor P1 for a few months now, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my smart home setup. The installation was a breeze—no tools required, just stick it up with the included adhesive and you’re good to go.The detection range is impressive: up to 7 meters at 150°, and even wider at closer distances, so it easily covers my hallway. I also love the built-in light sensor, which means my lights only turn on when it’s actually dark and someone walks by—super handy for saving energy.Integration with my smart home was seamless. It works perfectly with HomeKit and Alexa, and automations are easy to set up. I use it to trigger lights depending on light levels, and it hasn’t missed a beat.Overall, the Aqara Motion Sensor P1 is reliable, flexible, and packed with features that make it a must-have for anyone looking to automate their home. Highly recommended!

I've had this up in my house for just over a year now. It's small enough to be discreet when placed in the corner of a ceiling and nice and easy to position with its moveable attachment to its base.I have this connected to home assistant via a sonoff zigbee dongle plus and ZHA. It integrated very quickly and has been working flawlessly since installation. The entities exposed are shown in the attached picture. I particularly like the fact that its got a built in light sensor which I use for a lot of my light automations to determine when its dark enough to require lights to turn on.The product description says that it has a 5 year battery life. Mine has been up for almost exactly 12 months and the battery is now reading 70% having started at 100%. Of note, it's in a very high traffic area of the house and looking through the past data, it went from 100% to 60% in the first 2 months. It's then mysteriously gone from 60% to 70% over the following 10 months....so who knows!Its quite a bit more expensive than the sonoff motion sensors, but I think the light sensor and ability to easily alter its position make up for this.

These often go on sale and work really wellAlthough zigby is a bit patchy at times but would depend on your set up

Use these inexpensive and feature packed reliable sensors as part of my home security system and home automations. These integrate easily and reliably to the Zigbee service in Home Assistant. Originally I used these in the Aqara App, but found them much more useful when adding directly in to Home Assistant rather than being exposed to home assistant through the Aqara App. Good respoinse time and great value for money

I had Sonoff detectors and they were very good when they weren't disconnecting from the network. This one is much faster to clear and doesn't seem to pick up the aircon airflow, which, is ideal for me.The width of the detection area doesn't seem as wide as they claim but with correct positioning I've got it picking up movement on my landing and half way up the stairs reliably.The light level detection is useable but not amazing if I'm honest. I can tell if it is night and adjust light levels before turning on happily.I'm hopeful I won't have the same disconnection issues as the Sonoff items as they are showing strong connection to my newtork currently.

Super easy to install and use. Small size so it’s not easy to spot

I scored this a 4 as it is a great sensor and for the price, you can’t go wrong. The Aqara ecosystem is amazing and love all there products. The reason for the 4 stars is this sensor does continuously detect motion which is the automation I created means it sometimes turns the light of when someone is in the bathroom. This may be fixed later with a software update or maybe my positioning is not great. But the build quality, set up and ease of use is second to none. I still really enjoy the product and will probably get more. That is just my one annoyance with it

Works as advertised and very easy to add to a zigbee mesh. Shame it requires two batteries and they don't last long. It would be great if Aqara would start offering USB-powered options for PIR and temperature sensors, etc.
