mmWave MOES ZSS-QY-HP ZigBee Presence Sensor

The MOES ZSS-QY-HP occupancy sensor uses mmWave radar detection technology and ZigBee communication to accurately detect human presence – regardless of whether the person is moving or stationary. The device offers an adjustable detection range of up to 9 m (adjustable from 0 to 9 m), sensitivity from 0 to 9, and an instant response time of only 0 to 0.5 seconds. The compact ceiling sensor, measuring ∅93 × 37 mm, operates in a wide temperature range from -20 °C to 70 °C, ensuring reliable operation in a variety of conditions.

Precise presence and micro-movement detection

Thanks to mmWave radar technology, the sensor detects not only movement, but also subtle micro-movements such as breathing. This allows for accurate presence monitoring even while sleeping or working at a desk. This feature significantly increases the efficiency of home automation.

Adjustable range and sensitivity, tailored to the interior

The sensor allows you to set the minimum and maximum detection distance in the Smart Life app, which helps reduce false detections and adapt the operation to a specific space. In addition, the sensitivity setting on a scale of 0 to 9 allows you to fine-tune the device's response - lower sensitivity works well at greater distances, while higher sensitivity allows you to detect subtle movements up close.

Configuring response time and latency

The user can set the presence detection confirmation time from 0 to 0.5 seconds, ensuring immediate system response. There is also a presence decay delay setting ranging from 20 seconds to 25 minutes, helping to prevent unintentional device shutdowns. In addition, the detection delay setting (0-10 s) helps reduce false alarms and improve operational stability.

Remote control and automation via app

Integration with the Smart Life app allows you to fully control the sensor from anywhere. You can monitor presence in real time, change settings and create automation scenarios, such as automatically turning on lights when presence is detected. The sensor works with the ZigBee system (requires gateway - not included), allowing you to build an extensive smart home ecosystem.

Light intensity monitoring and smart scenes

The device offers a light intensity measurement function in the range of 0 to 2000 lux, allowing you to create smart scenes based on lighting conditions. This ensures that the light is only turned on when it is really needed, which increases comfort and helps save energy.

Compact design and ceiling mounting

The sensor is designed for ceiling mounting, ensuring optimal coverage of the room with the detection signal. Its small dimensions (∅93 mm and height 37 mm) ensure that the device remains discreet and blends well with the interior. Stable operation at 100–250 V AC and low current consumption ≤70 mA ensure reliability in everyday use.

It is important to know

Before choosing the ZSS-QY-HP ZigBee mmWave Presence Sensor, it is crucial to consider the connection method and whether you already have a suitable ZigBee control panel. This model has specific performance requirements, where easy installation does not necessarily mean easy use. It offers more options for users looking for expandability and connectivity with existing smart devices, but requires certain preparations for an optimal experience.

• The sensor must be connected to a ZigBee environment - without a central hub, it will not work and you will not be able to include it in automations or monitor it via the app.
• It is not suitable for users who expect standalone use or remote control without additional equipment (control panel is required, does not work via WiFi).
• An ideal choice for those who want an expanded smart home with multiple devices and integrations via a single ZigBee hub.
• The mmWave sensor allows for more reliable presence detection even with minimal movement, which can be an advantage compared to classic PIR sensors - this can mean fewer false triggers or missed detections.
• Before purchasing, check whether your existing system or control panel is truly compatible with this model.

In practice

🟢 Motion detection for lighting automation

The sensor works very well in systems where you want to automatically turn lights on or off based on presence - the combination of mmWave and ZigBee ensures accurate detection and fast automation (but only in connection with a control panel).

🟡 Suitable with weekend remote control restrictions

If you want monitoring or automation in a vacation home, a sensor is a useful option, but only assuming you already have a ZigBee hub with an internet connection there.

🔴 Less suitable for users without a smart switchboard

Without an already established ZigBee ecosystem or a desire to establish one, this sensor will not be a suitable solution, as it does not allow for standalone operation.

🟢 Integration into a wider smart home

The sensor is very suitable for connecting to a larger smart home, where reliable motion detection and preparation of more complex automations together with other devices in the ZigBee network are important.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Can the sensor work without a ZigBee hub?

No, a ZigBee hub or control unit is required for operation and integration into a smart home.

Does it allow detection even with very small movements?

Yes, thanks to mmWave technology, the sensor detects even smaller movements, allowing for more accurate presence detection.

Can I connect it directly to a WiFi network?

No, the sensor does not support WiFi connection. It is only compatible with ZigBee environment.

For what types of spaces does it make sense to use it?

It works best in hallways, offices, living rooms, or other spaces where you want accurate presence detection and automation of lighting or appliances.

How do I check compatibility with my existing system?

Check if your smart switch supports the ZigBee protocol and if it is on the list of compatible devices for your system.
