SwitchBot motion sensor

SwitchBot Motion Sensor is a device that automatically detects movement and changes in brightness, allowing you to automate your devices, improve home security, and save energy in your smart home. With notifications, you can always rest easy knowing that your home is constantly protected. Voice assistant support further enhances convenience.

Your home will welcome you.

The SwitchBot motion sensor allows you to enjoy a pleasant atmosphere as soon as you enter your home. If you place it near the entrance, it will automatically turn on your lights, humidifiers, fans, air conditioners or other smart devices. If you place it under your bed, in the hallway, near the entrance to the bathroom or in the kitchen, it will automatically turn on the lights when you get out of bed and go to the kitchen or bathroom at night. This increases your sense of security and comfort in the dark.

Security concerns

By using the SwitchBot motion sensor in conjunction with the SwitchBot Hub Mini and SwitchBot Indoor Cam, you can create a surveillance and monitoring system in your home. It is recommended to place the sensor at the entrance or other place where a break-in attempt could occur. Meanwhile, the SwitchBot Indoor Cam, mounted on the ceiling or high up, monitors the target area. When the sensor detects movement, the SwitchBot Indoor Cam automatically activates and starts recording.

Create a SwitchBot ecosystem

The SwitchBot motion sensor can be connected to other SwitchBot smart home products to create home automation. Local automation can be created using the SwitchBot Bot and SwitchBot Curtain. When configured with the SwitchBot Hub Mini, it can be integrated with various third-party services, enjoying voice control and remote control via smart speakers and smartphones.

Intelligent motion and brightness detection

The SwitchBot motion sensor is equipped with an advanced PIR sensor to detect human movement up to 9 meters away and a light sensor to determine whether human activity occurs during the day or night. Its range is 110° horizontally and 55° vertically. This ensures accurate operation and adaptation to lighting conditions. Worried about false alarms? You can adjust the motion sensitivity to avoid this problem!

Practical information

When the SwitchBot motion sensor detects movement or changes in brightness, you will receive appropriate notifications. This way, you can conveniently monitor what is happening in your home - all you need is a smartphone with the app installed. In addition, all events detected by the device will be recorded and synchronized with your phone. Note: SwitchBot Hub Mini is required for configuration.

Seamless integration with voice assistants

Thanks to integration with voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant, managing your home becomes even easier! You can control your devices with your voice and create personalized scenes tailored to your needs. Alexa will also notify you when motion is detected, ensuring that any unwanted guests don't go unnoticed, even during your night's rest. Note: SwitchBot Hub Mini is required for use.

Long battery life

The SwitchBot motion sensor is designed for efficiency and energy saving. One sensor runs for approximately 3 years on just two AAA batteries, resulting in minimal operating costs.

Easy installation

With its magnetic base, you can place the SwitchBot motion sensor anywhere in your home – in the hallway, on the ceiling, wall, shelf, door, refrigerator or under the bed. The choice is yours!

Same summary

The SwitchBot motion sensor is a good fit for users who want to automate simple smart home functions or monitor indoor movement. Since it requires a control panel to operate and does not support direct WiFi connection, it is more suitable for users who are already planning or using the SwitchBot ecosystem or a similar control panel system. For those who want a quick self-installation without additional equipment, the product may not be ideal. It is also useful where fast response and the possibility of local automation are important, but requires a properly connected control panel.
