Buy at your own risk

Honestly, this is the worst smart device I've ever bought. It took me 4 days just trying to connect 4 motion sensors to the shelly cloud keeps telling me I can't connect to the device after a few seconds. Now if they are 90% connected they say they are offline and not running my procedures. Sorry Shelley, but you need to look at and learn from smart life products. Also your app seems to have been developed by a 2 year old. Nothing works as intended.

Pros
  • Grand Prize
Cons
  • Crumpled

A little difficult to connect But don't buy batteries every month.

A bit tricky to connect But you don't have to buy batteries every month. I had motion sensors from Philips, but the battery only lasted a month or two. I don't want to keep sending money for batteries. Therefore, Shelly's motion sensors make more sense. I connected to Smartthings and it works great. With their help, I control Hue's lighting when I enter the room. Get the tech ready, Shelley. love your products. I don't understand why there are so many bad reviews. No other sensor isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • I will add later

Doesn't work reliably with Home Assistant Automation

Motion detection works when it's first triggered and detected by Home Assistant, but doesn't respond/update its status afterwards. Also, the device side loses its WiFi connection, which requires a reboot to restore functionality. Hopefully these issues will be fixed in a future firmware update. Update: Thanks to a recent firmware update, it now works properly with Home Assistant. I thought the issues with this product were fixed but unfortunately today despite good battery / no modificationsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Lots of things

Yes. No.: Motion Detector

Got them between HUE and these at the last minute. I chose them because a Zigbee hub or other hub was not needed. At the same time I bought an Alexa hub and wanted to send it back before they arrived. It took me 4 hours to give up. I connected one, and by connected I mean I have one to register with the Shelly app, but it never worked with routines in Alexa, even after creating a scene for an Alexa notification (which was stupid is), but I was still willing to save it for the features itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • OVER 1 YEAR BATTERY LIFE: Equipped with a rechargeable 6500mAh battery that lasts over 1 year, with ultra-low power Wi-Fi technology and Wi-Fi IoT solutions from Silicon Labs.
Cons
  • Exorbitant price

Upgrade them...: Motion Detector

I was one of the first users and since they first showed up I've had four or five of these devices. When they work, they're great. I've had a lot of calls to tech support because they kept getting disconnected and unresponsive. Several months of disappointment. But now with the latest firmware they are fantastic again. Deep integration with Home Assistant using mqtt and/or coiot. If you decided against it, force update the firmware to the latest version and try again. They're not really readyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • UNMATCHED SENSITIVITY: 256 levels of motion sensitivity, 128 levels of vibration sensitivity.
Cons
  • Unsure
