    This motion sensor advertises a fee meters of sensing with a 120° field of view and it lives up to it, I was having problems placing it cause it was so sensitive. I set it up to turn on lights when it detects motion and turn it off when motion is no longer detected, and it works like a charm. I would definitely recommend this product but the only two downsides are price and the smartthings software which doesn't let you specify to turn lights off if no new motion is detected for a few seconds. Otherwise I'd say buy enough to fill your house!

    This is a great add on for the SmartThings hub for a room or a stairway that needs light without having to worry about flipping the switch.

    This device couldn't be easier to set up. The base unit found this device automatically and I was ready to go in a few minutes. Highly recommend

    This motion sensor certainly does the job of detecting motion with timing of motion as well. It also gives the temperature at the location. Bought to check on home when away and got the added bonus of temp. Does a great job.

    install this in my closet since I already own a Smartthings Hub, works great, nothing is wrong with it so far. I also mount on near the front porch to sense motion to turn on lights late at night.

    got so that it would help turn lights on if anyone comes in he house while we were out of town. I was also able to get emails when it got motion. Great news, no one broke in and I knew the plants were watered on time by our friend.

    These are fully functional. These are the latest version and have reduced range and cone of detection as compared to the previous version present in the home monitoring kit, these have about 12 feet range of motion detection as compared to about 18 feet for the previous version. Alright for light on based on motion but not that suitable for covering whole rooms for security.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    The device is really great. You walk into any room and the motion triggers you smartthing hub action. Mine turns lights on and off when motion is seen. Really nice first thing in AM on my way to coffee pot!!!

    Gives a wide range of detection. As with some of the other smartthings they sometimes lose connection.

    SmartThings is the best system I have found to work with the most devices. They are continually working on adding or partnering with other vendors to add more products to work with system not just Samsung.

    At First did not like the sensor. It seemed very unreliable but after hard wiring my house for my cable and Internet services they have jumped 10 fold in reliability and triggering my lights to come on.

    Seems to work well. The stop motion is pretty much instantaneous. I have a z wave motion sensor that take about 4 minutes to reset. Pairing was pretty painless with smart things hub (no surprise).
