What it offers
A Home Assistant integration is listed, providing an integration path to verify for the exact model. Check the exact integration and firmware. A catalog integration label does not establish local control, official support or available entities. Zigbee2MQTT supports this exact model (SBMO-103Z), exposing occupancy, battery, battery low, light level, the dark and bright thresholds and motion sensitivity. Over Bluetooth it also broadcasts BTHome, which Home Assistant reads natively.
View Home Assistant details →Low-battery alerts are recorded, providing a maintenance notification to verify in the chosen platform. Check the alert destination and how disconnected-device status is handled. IAS Zone status bit 3 flags a battery at or below 15 percent, and the battery percentage is also broadcast over BTHome.
