Motion Sensor
A motion sensor detects movement through passive infrared (PIR) or microwave radar. It reports motion events and is the most common building block for occupancy automations.
Our top picks
The brands we reach for first, best to 3.
-
Aqara
6 modelsAqara devices that work with Selora and Home Assistant. Aqara products run on the Aqara cloud integration, ZHA, zigbee2mqtt, or Matter over Thread depending on the model; Aqara cameras pair locally via HomeKit or RTSP.
-
Zooz
3 modelsZooz designs Z-Wave devices for North American smart home installations, with a focus on reliable local control and direct-to-consumer pricing.
-
Shelly
3 modelsShelly devices that work with Selora and Home Assistant. Most Shelly products are Wi-Fi and run on the native Shelly integration for local control with no cloud required, plus MQTT. Newer Gen3 and Gen4 models add Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Matter over Wi-Fi, while the Qubino Wave line runs on Z-Wave.
Every device in this role 25
Everything Selora deploys and supports in this role.
Motion and Light Sensor P2
Aqara Motion and Light Sensor P2 is a Matter over Thread motion sensor with a built-in light sensor that pairs natively over Matter, no Aqara hub required.
Motion Sensor P1
Aqara Motion Sensor P1 is a Zigbee 3.0 PIR motion sensor with a built-in light sensor and a detection interval adjustable from seconds to minutes, avoiding constant retriggering in busy rooms.
Presence Multi-Sensor FP300
Aqara FP300 is a Matter over Thread 5-in-1 sensor combining mmWave presence, motion, light, temperature, and humidity in one device, cutting the number of sensors needed per room.
Presence Sensor FP1E
Aqara FP1E is a Zigbee mmWave presence sensor that detects both motion and stillness, holding occupancy in offices and media rooms where a PIR sensor would lose a motionless person.
Presence Sensor FP2
Aqara FP2 is a Wi-Fi mmWave presence sensor with configurable zones, multi-target detection, and light level sensing. Used in Selora AI recipes that need precise room-level presence.
Motion Sensor
Aqara Motion Sensor is a compact, low-cost Zigbee PIR with a built-in light sensor and long battery life, ideal for blanketing a home with motion triggers.
Outdoor Motion Sensor ZSE70
The Zooz ZSE70 800LR is an IP66 rated outdoor motion sensor detecting up to 30 feet, with an adjustable lux trigger for dusk-only automations.
Q Sensor ZSE11
The Zooz ZSE11 Q Sensor reports motion, temperature, humidity, and illuminance from one battery or USB powered device.
S2 Motion Sensor ZSE18
The Zooz ZSE18 is a compact Z-Wave motion sensor with low-latency detection, small enough to disappear into a room.
BLU Motion
Battery-powered motion sensor with a built-in illuminance (lux) meter for triggering lighting and scenes based on real activity and room brightness. Sold in Bluetooth (BLU) and Zigbee (BLU Motion ZB) variants for flexible integration.
Presence Gen4
A USB-C powered 60-64 GHz mmWave radar presence sensor that detects stationary occupants across up to 10 zones, with a built-in illuminance sensor for lighting-aware automations. Multiprotocol Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Matter for flexible integration.
Wave Motion
Z-Wave Long Range motion sensor with a built-in light sensor, reporting motion and illuminance to your Z-Wave hub. Battery-powered for fast, wire-free installation with reaction times under 300ms.
Caséta Smart Motion Sensor PD-OSENS
The Caséta PD-OSENS is a wire-free PIR motion sensor with a 180-degree field of view and Lutron XCT fine-motion detection. It can run as an occupancy or vacancy sensor for Caséta loads and Selora AI presence recipes.
Caséta Smart Motion Sensor (Vacancy Only) PD-VSENS
The Caséta PD-VSENS is a wire-free PIR vacancy sensor that turns off paired Caséta loads when the last person leaves a room. 180-degree field of view with Lutron XCT fine-motion detection.
Motion Sensor
The Philips Hue Motion Sensor: a battery indoor PIR that also reports light level and temperature, the building block for occupancy and daylight-aware recipes in Selora AI.
Outdoor Motion Sensor
The Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor: a weatherproof battery PIR that also reports light level and temperature, for driveway, porch, and security recipes in Selora AI.
Everything Presence One
Everything Presence One combines 24 GHz mmWave presence, PIR motion, temperature, humidity, and lux in one ESPHome device, covering everything a room automation needs from a single sensor.
Everything Presence Pro
Everything Presence Pro is an installer-grade ESPHome presence sensor with dual mmWave radars, PIR, lux, and PoE Ethernet, built for wired reliability in professional Home Assistant installs.
Multi-Function Night Light
Third Reality's Zigbee Multi-Function Night Light combines an RGB light, a motion sensor, and an ambient light sensor in one plug-in unit that reports each to Home Assistant.
Zigbee Motion Sensor
Third Reality's Zigbee Motion Sensor is a budget PIR sensor that runs about two years on two AAA batteries, detecting motion up to 20 feet away for basic lighting automations.
Recipes that need this role
Away Motion Camera Alert
Installs Home Assistant automations that watch for motion while the house is armed and send you a notification with the camera view attached. Add presence sensors to arm and disarm on their own, a siren to sound off, and lights to flash.
Motion Hallway Light
Installs a Home Assistant automation that turns a hallway or landing light on when motion is seen and off again once the space has been still for a grace period you set. Add a light sensor and it only runs after dark, add a presence sensor and it holds the light while someone lingers.
