    Will it work with Phillips hue and Google?

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 13/07/2020 - 19:36

      Philips Hue is using a different implementation of Zigbee unfortunately so you'd need to use a different hub like the Aqara, Conbee 2 etc. I believe the Google Assistant integration is still a work in progress with only a few sensors working.

      • ds4 on 13/07/2020 - 19:43

        Hi. What do you mean by it's a working progress on Android? Do these work on Android? Where can I get more info?

        Thanks

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 13/07/2020 - 19:46

          The Google Home integration (e.g. controlling a sensor with the Google Nest Mini) isn't fully implemented by Aqara like Apple HomeKit is.

          • ds4 on 13/07/2020 - 19:47

            @Clear: But you said some are working. We your referring to Apple?

            • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 13/07/2020 - 19:53

              @ds4: Some sensors are working with the Google Home integration. According to my research on the Aqara subreddit, using the Aqara Home app to integrate with Google has the following compatible: Aqara Hub, LED light, Smart Plug and Smart Wall Switch T1. However there are mixed responses saying they don't always work.

              Hence the Aqara are still actively developing Google Home/Assistant integration and it's not complete yet. You'd still require a Zigbee hub anyway as you can't use an Android phone to connect to the sensors directly.

    How reliable are these with Android/PC?

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 13/07/2020 - 19:38

      Do you have a Zigbee Hub already? That's a requirement for these kind of smart home sensors to work.

    • harry2015 on 13/07/2020 - 19:43

      These sensors have nothing to do with Android, PC, or IOS. You need to pair them with Zigbee hub/coordinator, to use them for triggering the events based on motion activities.

  • adgnetworks on 13/07/2020 - 19:40

    No but i am looking at some home security/automation.

    Im usually an early adopter but things crashing or not working would put me off buying these things.

    Just want something super reliable even if its complex to set up.

      I find these to be a mixed bag with reliability, some of them have lasted for a while others need constant repairing.

      I'm replacing them with the IKEA ones.

      • harry2015 on 13/07/2020 - 20:11

        I am replacing few Ikea ones with these. Although Ikea ones are running reasonably fine but they have comparatively shorter range (120 degrees and around 15 feet). Since they cant be tilted or installed at an angle, the quality of alerts generated is not always good.
        They ah e battery issues too.

    • aldroid on 13/07/2020 - 21:13

      Save yourself a lot of drama and go with HUE. Costs a bit more but works flawlessly.

  • mjjeje on 13/07/2020 - 19:42

    Can you use this outside? Would like to use this to trigger the lights and gateway alarm when someone pass by.

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 13/07/2020 - 19:45

      It's not designed for use outside but you certainly can as long as it's sheltered enough.

    • johndory on 14/07/2020 - 08:54

      I've got one of these under an eave outside acting as a ghetto sensor to turn on a hue light either normal or flashing red as an alarm.

      Apart from motion it also outputs lux which is handy because data.

      During the day I get very few false alarms (maybe 2 a week) but at night I have not yet seen a false trigger and works perfectly.

  • MagicMikez32 on 13/07/2020 - 19:45

    When you say it works with smartthings, you mean it just works with a search, pair and connect? Or are there custom handlers etc required?

    If custom handlers, how do you see that going with the smartthings changes in the works?

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 13/07/2020 - 19:49

      I find that the easiest answer is hopping onto Google and doing a search of "hubname Aqara" and you generally get more detailed responses than I can probably give. The answer to your question however is that custom handlers are required and there is a developer actively developing them for the Mi/Aqara sensors here.

    • lgacb08 on 13/07/2020 - 20:36

      Just add it into smartthings
      I don't recommend going with smartthings at all, I have used both hub and the xiaomi hub wins handout regarding reliability, very rarely if any issue with these sensor over 2 years and haven't had to replace battery yet. The smarthings dropped connection with all might hue lights 3 times in the first month and everytime I had to remove all the lighting and reconfigure automation, and it is significantly slower (you would hit the other end of the room before light turned on), xiaomi response almost instataneously, similar to hassio automation.

      The only issue is probably chinese server.

      • MagicMikez32 on 13/07/2020 - 22:15

        I'm already pretty far gone into smartthings, and it has been solid for nearly everything. Remains to be seen what gets broken and when, and if I stay with them.

    Thanks Clear, ordered one. Today I got tracking number for the door sensors.

  • zzyss on 13/07/2020 - 20:27

    Is it possible to use a pair of these to control the same set of lights? E.g. in an upstairs/downstairs scenario where the stair lights are controlled by two separate sensors. Hue has a "Lab" config that isn't fully implemented that can do this, but just wondering if it's any easier with the Xiaomi ecosystem?

    • AnneFagit on 14/07/2020 - 13:54

      I don't believe there is this functionality in IFTTT or SmartThings. A friend of mine is doing this for his stairwell going up and down but with no success. Best chance you have at implementing custom code is probably HomeAssistant.

    • Hargain Bunter on 14/07/2020 - 14:27

      If you have an Aqara Hub should be able to do that in HomeKit.

  • Dealking on 13/07/2020 - 20:34

    Hi Op, does the sensor work with the xiaomi gateway? Thanks.

      Don't use Auspost for tracking as they won't update until it's onboard for delivery. Instead go to 17track.net/en and select UBI as the carrier (since Auspost contract them to do the China to AU arm) and it'll show significantly more accurate tracking.

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 13/07/2020 - 23:04

      It is if you use PayPal's exchange rate. My rate is based off the Mastercard rate with 0% international transaction fees. Cards without currency conversion fees set to do their own conversion in PayPal like ING for example would get the same price or very similar.

    • retailtips on 14/07/2020 - 08:59

      same for me, showing AU$ 16.28. at checkout.
      Not a deal, same as aliexpress really when you buy 4 of them.

      • silo on 14/07/2020 - 09:06
        +1

        But you don't need to buy four of them.. also, speaking from current experience - I'm still waiting for my order from May! I strongly advise against ordering from Ali if you want these sooner than 2-3 months… Not really a fair downvote imo

      • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 14/07/2020 - 09:31
        +2

        It's $16.28 AU if you use PayPal's exchange rate. How do you think they make money on overseas purchases? They charge a currency conversion fee. If you choose a card without transaction fees, click the "See currency options" and switch to USD you will get charged at the current Mastercard/VISA rate. So that's $15.87 for VISA and $15.83 for Mastercard.

        But you're saying it's not a deal because you must buy 4 of them on AliExpress for it to be cheaper. This deal is on 1 of them though? Do you have proof that they're even cheaper on AliExpress? They add GST at checkout, not before.

    What is the difference between the Aqara hub and the Xiaomi Zigbee 3.0 hub? Which one is better?

    • ajooba on 14/07/2020 - 10:11

      Same Question. Anyone got ideas on this?

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 14/07/2020 - 11:00

      The power of Google! It supports Zigbee 3.0 meaning it'll support 100 devices per hub instead of 30, better WiFi, USB-C for power, Bluetooth and Bluetooth Mesh for Xiaomi Bluetooth sensors. It doesn't have the LED ring or speaker found in the Aqara Hub.

      • ChickenDinner123 on 18/07/2020 - 13:08

        Cool, so go for the Xiaomi Zigbee 3.0 hub if I want to use my google smart home with it.

  • rob1303 on 14/07/2020 - 01:37

    Thanks Clear.

    Over the past couple of weeks I have ordered the humidity sensors (received and installed), door and window sensors (on their way - per tracking info) and now these motion sensors from your post. Cheers.

    For information, if useful for others - all these sensors work without any issues using Conbee II USB stick and DeConz within Home Assistant.

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 14/07/2020 - 09:11

      I don't believe so. I think the Echo Plus is using a non-compliant version of Zigbee so it doesn't work with everything.

      The Xiaomi/Aqara zigbee devices are hit and miss with the Echo hub. Some of them do work - confirmed by me - but detection can be problematic, and dropouts aren't unknown.

          Reporting back here after recieving my item. I got it last week so happy with the shipping time. Set it up yesterday and have been impressed with it so far.
          Small in size, but works like a charm. Set it up in the mi home app, but alexa automatically registered it. However, was unable to pair it up in Alexa routine with other devices. Paired it up with the xiaomi yeelight and works perfectly. Happy customer here ! Thanks once again Op!

          • bamzero on 17/08/2020 - 01:28

            @Dealking: I have a Stitch wifi motion sensor (tuya based) that is recognised in Alexa via the Smart Life app, and while device is on screen in the app I can see it has recognised the motion, yet just won't work in routines. Google only led me to many more comments with same results but no solutions.

            Haven't tried the Aqara (I'm using with Conbee on HA instead) but sounds like its the same thing.

            As far as the sensor goes though, works great. Might eventually do the mod to make it reset it's motion detection every 5 seconds rather than 60 or whatever it is at the moment to make it even more responsive (if you're wondering, basically the button on the side puts it in test mode, so the motion detection is cleared after 5 seconds rather than 60 and ready to detect again. Pushing the button only keeps it in that mode for so long, mod is just permanently bridging the switch)
