Zigbee motion sensing, simplified!
Automate and secure your space with the Sonoff Zigbee Motion Sensor. Whether it’s turning on lights when you enter a room or enhancing your home’s security by notifying you when someone enters an area, this compact and intelligent sensor does it all!
With a pre-installed battery that lasts over three years, maintenance is minimal, allowing you to focus on what matters most.
Security and Convenience
Use this motion sensor to trigger alerts, activate security lighting, or automate lights to turn on only at night, making those late-night trips to the bathroom safer and easier.
To use Zigbee devices, you’ll need either a Zigbee-compatible USB dongle connected to an always-on computer (a Raspberry Pi is perfect!) or a dedicated smart home solution such as the brilliant Home Assistant Green (with Zigbee dongle) or the Sonoff iHost.
Let your smart home respond to you – motion detected, magic activated! 🚪✨

What Is Zigbee?
Zigbee is a wireless standard enabling low-power, secure connections between smart devices. Widely used in home automation for devices like thermostats, sensors, and locks, its energy efficiency allows some devices to run for years on a single coin cell battery.
The standout feature of Zigbee is its local nature – no cloud subscriptions or internet connections are required. This keeps everything within your home, ensuring security and resilience against internet outages.
Leading brands like IKEA, Philips Hue, Tuya, and Sonoff offer Zigbee-supported devices, allowing you to integrate products from multiple manufacturers into one system. This ensures you’re not locked into a single vendor – brilliant!
With an indoor range of 10–100 metres and extended outdoor coverage, Zigbee’s mesh networking ensures reliable communication, even if some devices go offline. Its robust security features, including encryption and key protection, keep your smart home safe and under your control.
