GoveeLife Motion Sensor, Group Control Unlimited Devices, Wireless Mini Contact Sensor for Smart Home Automation, Battery Powered, Supports Most GoveeLife Smart Products

This things so easy to use and makes anything possible with smart homes. I set this up for my bathroom to have my govee air cleaner to turn on because my friends stink up the bathroom without turning on any fans, lol. But like i said, super easy to use, hasn’t died and i’ve had it for a while, it’s super small and not visible. You can put it anywhere you want. It also triggers ASAP and is super quick to start up the air cleaner.

Christmas sales started popping off.. already had a tiny bit of experience with Govee lightbulbs and home automation. For the price point (especially when on sale).. it was a no brainer. The sensor is fairly small, battery already installed… had done my homework and knew I needed the Govee Distributed Gateway in order to best utilize this device; picked up a pair of Govee smart plugs that also act as the necessary hubs. By combining the two, you are able to lint the sensor to the hub/plug and truly take advantage of configuring it automation capabilities. My first one was purchased during that Holliday Sale high… as a result of realizing that for whatever reason I continuously leave the bathroom lights on.. working from home; this means they can and will be on all day and all night unnecessarily. So, this kinda just fell into my lap and everything started sparkling and “Dreamweaver” was faintly heard… it was meant to be. Setup: super freaking easy. Open box. Open App. Hit the + in the app.. bam! Added the sensor and plug hub. Skimmed an article to make sure I understood how their “ Distributed Gateway “ works and how the UI for automation setup is configured. - so I set up the automation to trigger when you step into the bathroom; kicking the lights on automatically and also after a defined time interval turns them back off. Easy peasy.. and as an additional bonus: I now can wake up in the middle of the night or early in the morning and just walk into the Ian’s not have to worry about finding the light switch when I’m not even fully awake; definitely don’t have to worry about hitting the lights on my way back to bed either! Works so well, that I have purchased a second one and configured automation similarly to turn on and also kill the lights in my home office/studio/workbench/tinkering hobby lab. - as I am always busy and strive to take on every task that comes my way. Knowing that I have an extra pair of motion “ eyes “ without relying on cameras to do the same thing that might become a security risk had I gone with a completely different non-Govee solution. Would I or have I suggested this to any one I know OH YES I HAVE!!! *** would I purchase again? — ALREADY HAVE ( in under a 3 weeks) — Planning on picking up a couple more And the special extra I got out of the smart plug.. allows me to control them via the app as well as verbally;via Google Home Assistant. Can’t beat those collective multiple abilities…. And I’m already seeing a noticeable difference in my power bill. Thanks Govee!! For pick him up the ball when others have dropped it and building such an amazing larger ecosystem and GoveeLife. Bringing the larger vision of home automation and such a huge variety of great products and products that allow for such a a flexible application of your offerings and you just can’t beat how easy it is to get the hardware configured. Gone are the days of 15 minute setup per unit and all the frustration that came while dealing with very well known competitor’s products; which unfortunately are slowing all dying out in my home ecosystem. A very pleasant experience. Things work and are accepted openly when they do just one thing: exactly what it says it does with extremely easy setup.

I have a few Govee color changing bluetooth bulbs in my room for various lighting effects. I've realized that as it's gotten more complex, switching it manually all the time has become a chore. I bought this and was able to create a useful setup with about an hour. For instance: Now, if I leave a room, and no motion is detected for a short time, it turns the lights off. If I walk back in, it turns them back on. I aided this by setting the lights on a schedule based on what I do most days. Somedays I work in office and have lights get increasingly bright into I'm awake. If I'm working from home, I'll set routines, and then the sensor acts as backup to make sure to follow routines based on room motion. When it notices me working late it automatically institutes a wind down routine at a certain time, lowering lights and triggering calming sound. It's a simple tool, but really helps you do more if you have an existing Govee setup that links devices together in a distributed gateway, which is easy to setup and manage. Major flaw is that I with it was rechargeable!

It takes just a sec to detect but that might be just the input of everthing working together. As govee there compatability for everything is great. Awesome little motion detector full range of motion once adhered but also good setting in the app that is also extremely easy to use. yet again the is a product needing a gateway as in a hub but if you got it its extremely easy to pick and choose what you want to turn on and off. Also pretty cheap for a motion detector.

Works well for my need. I was able to set it up to auto turn on lights when I enter the room, I extended the timeout to about 15 to turn off automatically. I wish the app supported iOS proximity so when I enter an area via gps it would turn on like I have with my iHome plug bar. Outside of that you need a subscription to ITTT. This filled that void and allows me to have something that will turn on the lights when I enter the room, and sitting next to the sensor, it doesn't turn off the lights throughout the day until I leave at night. It connects via Wifi with no issues and is very easy to getup. There are a lot more options, but I just needed it to keep the lights on while I'm in the room and it works well for that. I've not had it long enough to understand the battery life, but being able to disable it firing for 15 min should extend the battery life. Its a great value for the money cause it just works.

Tengo muchos productos Govee, porque me parecen fabulosos, sin embargo, en cuanto a este sensor, lo compré como complemento a mis luces para ahorrar un poco de energía eléctrica, y me hice no sólo de uno sino de 6, en todos ellos no se activa el comando apagar, solo me sirven para activar las luces, ya escribí con la gente de Govee y no me solucionaron el problema, es mas, ya ni me contestan a mis cuestionamientos. Espero que haya alguna actualización o que encuentre alguna solución por mi mismo para lograr que se desactiven las luces.

Does what it says on the box, i have it control my GOVEE back room light and the hall light as soon as it triggers both lights come on, GO GOVEE

I bought the Goveelife motion sensor in the hopes I could control my Govee ceiling smart light in my bathroom without the need of voice commands! Happy to say it does exactly what i wanted it to do and was so easy to set up. I currently have it set up to turn on upon sensor and then turn off 3 minutes later from the same sense. The unit is actually a lot smaller then i anticiapated which is a plus as it doesnt stick out too much in the bathroom (i do worry people perceive it to be a camera but time will tell) It comes with a 3m sticky label to attach to a surface however i haven't used this yet until i find the most ideal area. The only downside is the cost, If it was slightly cheaper then i would have multple in the house and garden.

I thought it was ALEXA enabled but it is NOT.

Set up within minutes, been a few weeks now and been working flawlessly and still showing full battery. Can link to anything else in my Govee app. Currently using it as a motion sensor for the light in my ensuite, adding the final touch to automated lighting in my apartment. No need for me to touch any switches anymore as they all turn on during sunset and turn off automatically at set times of a night. This motion sensor and the whole govee system is a true affordable gamechanger
