Before you choose

What Should You Check Before Buying?

Use these motion sensors requirements to narrow your shortlist, then verify each requirement for the exact model.

  1. Compare the detection range and angle for the intended location.
  2. Check placement restrictions and pet-related limitations.
  3. Verify the cooldown period and automation trigger behavior.
  4. Confirm power, outdoor rating and hub requirements.

These categories address related jobs. Check model-level compatibility before combining devices.

Presence Sensors

Presence sensors report occupancy using supported sensing methods. Detection zones, positioning and sensitivity affect whether the sensor suits a particular room.

Door & Window Sensors

Door and window sensors report whether an opening is open or closed. Many use a sensor and magnet that must remain correctly aligned.

Hubs

Smart home hubs coordinate supported devices and automations. Radio support, software integrations and local processing are separate capabilities to verify.
