Product Details

The SwitchBot Motion Sensor is a compact PIR motion detector designed for smart home automation. With a detection range of up to 30 feet (9 meters) and a wide 110° horizontal / 55° vertical field of view, it reliably detects human movement throughout your home.

Features an integrated light sensor to detect ambient brightness, enabling automations that respond differently during day and night. The customizable brightness threshold lets you define what "bright" or "dark" means for your space.

Powered by two AAA batteries lasting up to 3 years, the sensor connects via Bluetooth with support for Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, and SmartThings when paired with a SwitchBot Hub. Works locally with other SwitchBot devices for instant automation triggers.
