ONVISSmart Motion Sensor, Wireless Home Security System, PIR Motion Detector, Hygrometer, Thermometer,Works with Apple HomeKit-Thread

I bought the same one month ago and I had to return because motion detection was very bad. This one is excellent: quick detection and good range, Temperature and humidity values are very accurate. I already had one previous version SMSK-1 since 2019 and it still works good even in winter at -20c.I think this new one received today has been improved via firmware update.

This motion sensor is a nice variation from the usual internet connected ones of the past. This motion sensor uses bluetooth and it works so much more accurately and consistently than our other ones ever did. Another great thing is that there isn't any remotes to keep track of. It works through an app on your phone which is very user friendly and also has the option of connecting to my iPhone Home app. The app is easy to set up and the device basically did the rest for me. It is absolutely amazing how accurate the humidity and temperature readings are also. The app is so straight forward on whether I want a notification for each thing or not. I can also set each of the three items up by time intervals and the app will show me a run down in graph from of each item for the day. It will also break them down and show me an entire day's average, etc. I am so happy, I am going to buy several more for other areas in my house. I looked at the app and it doesn't seem like it will be an issue to add other devices to it without any interuption or problem with my current sensor.

The media could not be loaded. The sensor was purchased to detect motion in the garage, including people and when the garage door opens / closes. At first I tested it at the back wall of the garage, 25 feet from the garage door and next to the door into the house. It detected a person coming out (about 3 feet away) but not the garage door. I found it had to be within about 3 feet of the garage door, so mounted it on the header above the door. That works well. It’s connected to Apple HomeKit. I changed the garage switch to a HomeKit compatible one, and now the garage lights come on when the garage door goes up, not just the light on the garage door opener.The video shows the smart switch for the garage lights, then shows where I mounted the sensor and how close you need to be to it for it to detect motion. It’s easy to tie the motion sensor to a smart switch in HomeKit.

It works well but it constantly detecting motion when there’s no on around, even at the lowest setting. It connected to HomeKit easy, and so far has had a rock solid connection.

this little device is one of the best home smart devices i have bought yet. i have placed it in my room and attached a automation with it so that i never have to turn the lights on or off in my room. i walk in and they turn on. five minutes later, they turn off. it is great! i would recommend if you are looking for motion detection automation. and the fact that it runs off of batteries and i havent replaced them yet. AWESOME!

Based on four months of use, I can say that the sensor consistently works as advertised. I’ve never had to reset it. My only nitpick is that it can sometimes take two-three seconds to activate an automation, but this is due to Bluetooth’s limitation. My Eve contact sensors that use thread often trigger automations in under a second, so I am excited to add the new Eve Motion Sensor to a couple of rooms.But hey, Onvis battery life is great and like I said, it works as advertised.

I read reviews that these were great for motion detection. Unfortunately, they are not. They are GREAT humidity and temperature sensors, but not motion detectors - which I bought them for.

Upon opening the box and removing the film on the adhesive, I put the item on the wall and pushed it for 10 seconds firmly to stick. About 3 minutes later it fell straight off and broke. I put it back up 2 more times just for it to fall again. This needs to note that it must be drilled into a wall. The sensor still works because of how it sits on the back plate but it’s barely hanging because the clips broke on the first fall. Not quite sure the point of adhesive and dry wall studs and screws. I put one screw in the wall and that’s obviously working because it weighs less than a pound. Automations with HomeKit don’t run very fast or precisely either. Also there is no way to swivel this so it must be at floor level or body level, not above doors.
