Review on 🏠 Discover the BroadLink Smart Motion Sensor: PIR for Home Automation with IFTTT and Alexa Integration. Trigger a Wireless Smart Home Experience with Occupancy Lighting and Scenes, S3 Hub Included by Shedrick Roach

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works as a trigger for Alexa Routines, but has issues with the quick setup instructions.

The best part is that the HUB is included in the price. Most other sensors require an expensive hub. I suspect the battery will last a lot longer than other motion sensors with tiny batteries. When I went to step 4 with the quick setup instructions, I found that mine was not working as described in the setup. I had to hack for a good hour to get it working. Once I got it working I was very happy and used it as a TRIGGER for Alexa routines (automatically turning the kitchen lights on and off). I decided to buy another one (did it today). If you're not very good at setting up the Hub & Motion Sensor, chances are you'll get frustrated and won't be able to get it working. Definitely worth it if you can hack. Much luck. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is the installation instructions.
