👁️ Zigbee 3.0 PIR Motion Sensor — Tuya / Smart Life / Home Assistant
A compact Zigbee 3.0 PIR (passive infrared) motion sensor for smart home automation. Detects human movement and triggers automations — turn on lights, activate alarms, send notifications. Works with Tuya / Smart Life app (via Tuya Zigbee hub) and Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA when paired through a Zigbee USB coordinator dongle.
🧠 Build Your Zigbee System
⚡ Key Features
- PIR Motion Detection — passive infrared sensor detects human body heat and movement; triggers when someone enters the detection zone
- Zigbee 3.0 Protocol — low power, mesh networking, long battery life; requires a Zigbee hub or coordinator to function
-
Wide Compatibility:
• Tuya / Smart Life — via a Tuya Zigbee gateway
• Home Assistant — via ZBDongle-E, ZBDongle-Max, or ZBDongle-LMG21 with Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA integration
• Zigbee2MQTT / ZHA — supported as a standard Zigbee IAS zone sensor - Battery Powered — CR2450 coin cell battery; approximately 2 years of battery life with typical use
- Compact Design — small, discreet sensor; mount on walls, shelves, or corners with the included adhesive or bracket
- Smart Automations — use as a trigger for any automation: lights on when you walk in, alarm when motion detected while away, notification when movement in a restricted area
This is a Zigbee device — it does NOT connect to WiFi directly. You need one of the following:
• A Tuya Zigbee Gateway (for Tuya/Smart Life app)
• A ZBDongle-E, ZBDongle-Max, or ZBDongle-LMG21 + Raspberry Pi / mini PC running Home Assistant (for Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA)
🏠 What Can You Automate?
Lights On When You Enter
Motion detected in the hallway → turn on hallway lights. No motion for 5 minutes → lights off. The most popular motion sensor automation — hands-free lighting.
Security Alert
Motion detected while "Away" mode is active → send phone notification + trigger siren. Simple DIY security without monthly monitoring fees.
Occupancy-Based Climate
Room occupied → keep heating/cooling active. Room empty for 30 minutes → reduce HVAC to save energy. Combine with a temp sensor for full climate automation.
Camera Trigger
Motion in the driveway → start recording on a specific camera. More targeted than camera-based motion detection — PIR avoids false triggers from shadows and wind.
