Easy installation and setup, however, the motion sensing feature leaves much to be desired. After several seconds of walking in its range it will activate, but try waiving your hand from ten feet away and it won't.

This motion detector is great. You can stick it on the wall or set it on anything. It is very sensitive but let's you leave a ceiling fan going at the same time. My dogs did set this off numerous times, but at least I know it's working and doing the job. To solve this problem I set it up higher. I'm really satisfied with this product.

I have 5 of them running in my house and they work every time. Because they do motion and temperature I have them paired with a Smartthings hub enabling better control of my Nest thermostat. They are easy to mount and the batteries last a year or more. Haven't found a product on the market that is more reliable or affordable.

I used this sensor on the outside of the door leading to my garage. It is programmed to turn on the inside garage lights after sunset when I open the door as well as to trigger inside lights when I get home. I also use it to monitor the temperature of the garage. The battery life has been very good so far.

Have them setup in closets and other small rooms where I know I want to turn the light on when I walk in and it is awesome, especially in rooms where the light switch was placed in a very poor position for reaching. (I'm using this in conjuction with a Hue light as well as a GE light switch depending on the room)

I got this motion sensor to turn on lights when I walk into a room in my house. It works well with the combination of smartthings and Casseta Wireless Lights. Set up was easy and automating s routine with Smartthings worked great. This is a great purchase if you are looking to automate tasks in your home

I was interested in this as a DYI home security system and it works most of the times. At times, it loses connection and I need to reset it to get it back running.

Utilizing this kit to supply a means to track who and when comes in to our home when no one is home. Easy to setup, but working through a variety of the "kinks". Wish I had some more time on my hands, because there are a few really cool things you can do with this product.

Very responsive sensor if motion is detected close by. But need to improve its detection for longer distance too. So I had to remove one star.

Bought this to complement my SmartThings hub. Solely used for turning my kid's bathroom lights on/off. Motion sensors can be used for a plethora of reasons. SmartThings also has "smart apps" that are just small programs that run using your sensor. AUTOMATION ROCKS!!

This sensor works as well as any other that I've used. I used it in place of a door sensor in a room with glass on the door to avoid getting separate door and glass sensors. This way if someone broke through the glass it would catch it. A door sensor would miss that.
