I recently came across the Sonoff Motion PIR sensors and decided to give them a try. At just £7 each, they seemed like an absolute steal, especially for a motion sensor. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy they were to set up. They use CR2032 batteries, which are readily available and make maintenance a breeze. The sensors are also incredibly tiny, which makes them perfect for discreet placement around the house.
I’ve been using them as Iris V1 Motion Sensors, and they’ve been reporting motion accurately without any issues. The motion timeout appears to be set to 1 minute by default, which works well for my needs. I’ve found them to be reliable and responsive, and they’ve definitely added an extra layer of security to my home.
One thing I particularly like is how easy it is to integrate them into my existing smart home setup. They’ve worked seamlessly with my other devices, and I’ve been able to create some useful automations around them. For example, when motion is detected in the hallway, the lights automatically turn on and stay on for a set period before turning off again. It’s little touches like these that really make a smart home feel cohesive.
Overall, I’m thrilled with how well these sensors have performed. They’re affordable, easy to use, and reliable, making them a great choice for anyone looking to add motion sensing to their smart home setup. I’d definitely recommend them to others looking for a cost-effective solution.
