Exploring Motion Sensor Accuracy: Lux and Temperature Insights

I’m excited to share this insightful video by digiblur DIY, which dives into the world of motion sensors and their additional capabilities. If you’re curious about how these devices perform beyond just detecting motion, this video is a must-watch!

In this detailed comparison, the creator evaluates several motion sensors, including the Aqara, Hue, and Iris models, focusing on their Lux and temperature sensing features. The video highlights the accuracy of these sensors and how they stack up against dedicated environmental sensors like the ESP Home multi-sensor and Switchbot. It’s a fascinating look at whether these multi-functional sensors can reliably double as environmental monitors.

What are your thoughts on the accuracy of motion sensors for environmental monitoring? Have you had success or challenges using them for temperature or Lux measurements? The creator also mentions a desire to test the Ikea and Shelly motion sensors in the future. If you have any of these devices, would you be willing to share your experiences or even lend one for testing? Let’s discuss!
