🏡 Onvis Smart Homekit Motion Sensor: Indoor Hygrometer & Thermometer for Home Automation - Bluetooth Connectivity, No Hub Required Review

I bought this to install an automation that will turn on a smart outlet with a heater attached to keep the water lines in my garage from freezing. As it turns out, the only sensor on this device that you can use as a trigger in the Apple HomeKit app is the motion sensor. After some research I found out that other sensors can be used as triggers with "Eva". Application. It shouldn't be that hard, not sure if it's an Apple issue or a problem with this product. Thanks to Eva for solving the…

As the name suggests, this HomeKit device works very well, but its placement is down due to the lack of WiFi capabilities limited. It's Bluetooth only, so it needs to be placed and used in close proximity to a HomeKit hub (Apple TV or iPad). It has three sensors that show up independently in the Home app, measuring humidity, temperature, and motion. Registration is very easy, just turn it on, launch the Home app and scan the code. ti is added very quickly and easily. If you decide to use it on…

Got this mainly for the motion sensor but with built in temperature and humidity AND HomeKit integration. I had to try. My iPad didn't find the code on the camera sensor, but was simply integrated manually with an 8-digit code. I didn't use the manufacturer's app or anything, just used HomeKit directly to run this and used the latest version of HomeKit to automate the lights around the motion sensor other than that sensor. If you enter the room regularly, the sensor will turn on the light for a

Update from 05/19/2021: still great! I haven't touched the sensor since I originally placed it on my stair railing, the batteries and smart home functions are just as good as the day it was installed. 10/08/2020 I bought it for the motion sensor for iOS HomeKit - the idea that when I walk up the stairs, the light in my bedroom will come on automatically. I scoured Amazon for the cheapest HomeKit-compatible motion sensor and googled what other people were using before pulling the trigger. So far

After reading various online reviews I had high hopes for this motion detector. I was disappointed when I first started using it that it is not as reactive as I would like. I set it up to use automation with Homekit to turn the pantry lights on and off automatically. Sometimes the automation works, sometimes it doesn't. I updated the firmware to the latest version but performance is still sluggish. This may be Apple's fault as my Homekit hubs are my Apple TV and they are some distance from the…

This motion sensor is a welcome change from traditional internet-connected sensors of the past. This motion sensor uses Bluetooth and is much more accurate and stable than our other motion sensors. Another great thing is that there are no remote controls to follow. It works via an app on your phone which is very easy to use and also has the ability to connect to my iPhone Home app. The app is easy to set up and the device basically did the rest for me. It's amazing how accurate the humidity and
