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 Juan Lockwood

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A simple (sort of) setup works too

I bought a motion sensor + hub and a plug (socket). The hub is set up very quickly according to the instructions. Setting up the fork and motion detector took a while. I was and still am a bit confused about the web, but it works. My WiFi router only runs on 5GHz and this system only runs on 2.4GHz, so I went through the setup many times before hitting the right sequence. I still don't know exactly what I did right/wrong. Somehow the hub is on my 5Ghz WiFi and the Broadlink hardware is connected through the hub to my phone on its own 2.4Ghz. However. Pretty impressive stuff for little money. The low price made it possible for me to buy these things, although there is not a single review or question. This review is the first for this particular product. There may be more for other Broadlink products.

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • Upgradable
