    I have two sensors already. I wanted another for my upstairs area. I love these sensors. They allow me to detect any movement or sudden increase in temperature in my home while at work. Awesome technology for little cost.

    I have the older version smartthings motion sensors, and love the new one, the way it mounts and the magnetic ball to swivel the sensor however you want it. I now want to swap all my other sensors.

    This sensor only says there is movement or not, so pets will set it off. It can be power as a trigger for another device, or used in conjunction with another sensor to indicate something is amiss.

    Overall a great product that makes a smart home actually smart. Only issue is some of them lose their sync after a while, luckily those show problems quickly and Best Buy has a great replacement policy.

    Had a ATT Digital system with a large monthly charge, Replaced with the Samsung Smartthings and it works great, no central monitoring but direct notifications to your phone.

    These are the best motion sensors I have had for this price. They are very easy to link up and the magnet mount makes them easy to adjust angles

    Hopefully this sensor lasts longer than the previous version. Build quality looks better, also like the magnetic mount. Uses a weird 6v battery, wish Samsung could utilize standard AA or AAA

    I have it set up to automatically turn on lights during a certain time of the day. I was worried there would be a big delay but it works great. Very minimal delay.

    This it a good and inexpensive motion detector but I wished it would also have a a/c plug as an alternative power source. It doesn’t, so you will need to buy extra batteries for it.

    It's a motion sensor, not a presence sensor

    Good quality and easy to use, nevertheless, I'm a bit disappointed that it is only a motion sensor and not a presence sensor so you have to keep that in mind.

    I have this sensor above doorway and there is no way to get even near doorway, let alone through it without being detected. However, the range is not great, maybe 8-9'?
