SwitchBot W1101500 Motion Sensor Wall White Battery Indoor

SwitchBot Motion Sensor detects movement up to 30 ft (about 9 m) away with a horizontal range of 110° and a vertical range of 55°. The built-in ambient light sensor lets the device determine brightness levels and, when connected to other SwitchBot devices and a SwitchBot Hub, can trigger lights to turn on or off automatically. The sensor is compact, wireless, mounts magnetically, and is designed for simple placement and long battery life.

Advantages

The motion sensor offers wide-area coverage and adjustable sensitivity to reduce false triggers. It includes an ambient light sensor so actions can depend on current light conditions, and it integrates with the SwitchBot ecosystem and Alexa for automated routines and voice alerts. The unit is easy to install with a magnetic base and has a battery life of up to three years under typical use.

How to use

Place the sensor on a wall or other surface using the magnetic base or mount it in the desired location so its field of view covers the monitored area. Pair the device with the SwitchBot app to configure sensitivity, light threshold and automation rules. To enable remote alerts, voice notifications, or control lights automatically, connect the sensor to a SwitchBot Hub and link the Hub to Alexa if voice integration is needed.

Recommendations

Install the sensor at a height and angle that maximizes coverage of the area you want to monitor, avoid placing it directly facing windows to reduce false triggers from sunlight, and test sensitivity and light-threshold settings in the app to suit your environment.
