Hive Motion Sensor, White

I use these with a custom Zigbee setup not with Hive directly. They are very reliable in terms of connection and performance. The battery lasts a fair time, 3-6 months with regular triggers. Seems stable on Zigbee and doesn't drop out like similar products from other brands. Looks quite pleasant too especially when fitted into a corner, blends in well. Seems to trigger well but does get triggered by our cats which was expected. Attaching it to the wall is easy and they seem sticky and strong enough to not fall off, some I've had up a few years. Not to big but holds a better size battery so worth the additional size to allow longer times between changing.

The Hive range of products are well built and reliable, the sensor is simple to add through the app and quick to configure routines to include other Hive products such as lightbulbs. I have this set up so when I open the front door between certain times it turns on the lights in the lounge. Works well and would recommend if you require a quick way of triggering simple routines to integrate other Hive products.

Not sure if it's the position it in , but so times it doesn't register a person , but it works well when it does, have it to set so a light comes on in the eve and then a different one in the early hours

Would probably work well within it's own ecosystem, however, I already have made a considerable investment in smart lights from another manufacturer. This would not usually be an issue as services such as IFTTT allow for interactivity between smart devices from different manufacturers. It would seem that while Hive devices are quite willing to take an input from another device or service and carryout an action (i.e. if it gets dark turn the lights on, if it gets cold turn the heating on) It's quite a different story with their output devices, so instead of the motion detector simply sending an alert to another API and that then carrying out an action, the best you can do is get a notification on your phone or tablet and then set up another action to act on receipt of that notification. This is an unreliable and slow method to achieve an outcome which should be simple and straightforward. EDIT:- Anyone who is tech savvy, BUY THIS SENSOR! Then, set it free with a ZigBee hub and tasmota! Have connected two off these sensors to a third party ZigBee hub, and both have so much more going on than just the IR motion detector, although they are both different..... One also has a temperature sensor, a luminance sensor as well as battery and signal levels. The other has temperature and 'occupancy sensors and also transmits battery and signal levels! OOH THE ZIGBEE!

The top review is negative for this item and this did put me off purchasing this for a while but then I checked the recent reviews and this had positive feedback so thought I might as well try and if I have issues Amazon’s return policy will protect me. I needed a motion sensor to turn on the bathroom light especially during the night. Once set up which is easy to do via the app this is working great. I have set multiple schedules to work at different times with different brightness’s. There is a lot of flexibility available. I still can’t understand the negative reviews as a lot of external factors can affect these, network speed, number of devices, signal strength of the device so it will work differently for everyone. I cannot fault this product it also looks great and is small and discreet. I will look to add more in the future.

Doesn't quite do what it says on the tin My cats set it off😛 On a plus side it isn't as sensitive as the regular motion sensor There are no mounting instructions i.e. portrait or landscape I googled it and it didn't seem to matter I use my sensor to control stair lighting hence the landscape mounting Apart from that it's fine The battery cover is very stiff compared with the regular sensor

I really like this motion sensors. Since i put them up, we haven't touched the light switches for the hallway, landing or kitchen sinse! They are sensitive enough to keep the light on with minimal movement in the room. I have them set up to turn lights on from sunset to sunrise for a few minutes, so we never leave the lights on in those rooms now. I'd like to get another for the living room when i can afford. They are fairly expensive, but they work well, and the build quality is good. I've seen a few people complain about battery life, but i haven't had any issues with them, I've had them up for quite a few weeks, (3-4 months-ish) and they are still working fine - as I say, they are in the kitchen, hallway and landing, fairly high traffic areas considering we have a 4yo running around the house too! *Update* I still haven't replaced the batteries in any of the sensors and they are still working perfectly, even in high traffic areas like the hallway. Since writing my original review I purchased another two sensors - for the living room and new extension that we use as a dining room. I've almost forgotten how a light switch works! 😆

Bought to turn off heating while door was open. Did not register the door as closed. Refit in multiple locations, and reset but not luck. Returned.

Super

Il sensore in sé funziona benissimo, ovviamente con l'hub hive. Il problema secondo me è che non lo puoi gestire al di fuori del sistema hive. Esempio non può accendere una lampada o una presa intelligente che non sia hive.

Pervenuto nei tempi previsti, confezione ok. Avendo già altri prodotti hive è stato facile aggiungere i sensori nella lista hive (tramite hub). Si può regolare il loro uso con segnalazione sonora sullo smartphone/tablet a seconda del periodo scelto in cui si ritiene importante l'azione di controllo per l'appunto sonora. Per il momento sono del tutto soddisfatto. Grazie

Funzionava abbastanza bene anche se non è per niente istantaneo nel riconoscere il movimento e molte volte accende la luce quando si è passati alla stanza successiva. Dopo un aggiornamento dell'app si sono cancellati tutti i dispositivi che avevo installato e le varie routine. Non riesco più a rinstallare l'hub. Assistenza zero, prezzi folli rispetto ad altri dispositivi che non hanno bisogno di hub e funzionano direttamente con alexa. Non so che farmene
