Looks like a really good deal. That's pretty cheap. JB Hi-Fi sells it for $29 and that's on special. For ultimate savings price match the Bunnings deal at JB Hi-Fi and pay with discounted gift cards.

Officeworks sells it for $15 as reduced to clear. but can't see any stock available.

Features
✓Automate your light
✓Easy Installation
✓Flexible setting
✓Whole room control
The WiZ wireless indoor sensor sets your lights to turn on and off according to motion detection.

Put it at the entrance or corridor and trigger on your desired light modes just by walking by, set it to turn off or to minimum brightness after you leave the room.

It controls all the lights in a room and has a motion detection range of up to 3 meters.

Set the sensor to trigger different light modes during different times of the day in the WiZ app (e.g. warm white in the evening or nightlight after bedtime).

    I'd have bought it if it's Zigbee-based. Pitty it's WiFi-based. However it seems it might have a ESP inside, but haven't been able to find anything about CFW with tasmota or ESPHome.

    • ATTS on 30/10/2023 - 10:17

      Curious, what benefit zigbee vs wifi

      • at9 on 30/10/2023 - 10:20

        Zigbee is a lot lower power so the batteries last year's not months.

      • xmagic on 30/10/2023 - 10:25

        lower power consumption, relatively universal integration to existing system and interoperability

        Really depends on the setup. Zigbee is not the most friendly technology I have to say. Pretty annoying when there's a lot of devices across different brands.

        Hope Matter can really improve the experience.

          What do you mean by this? You can get a generic hub and integrate all brands into one for Home Assistant.

          • xmagic on 30/10/2023 - 11:00

            @NigelTufnel: Yup that's how it supposed to work, theoretically. But trust me, I know my stuff.

            So my setup consist of 3 EFR32 dongles (1x router 2x repeater), a bunch of generic (Tuya really, but that's another mess worth a thesis on its own) sensors, a few IKEA blinds and a few more things, excluding BT and Wi-Fi stuff. About half devices won't jump between endpoints when signal gets waffle, 1/3 of them can't stop jumping between endpoints, half of them doesn't report battery levels correctly, I'll stop bothering you with other minor issues.

            Thank goodness my light switches are Tasmota + Wi-Fi and are rock solid.

            • NigelTufnel on 30/10/2023 - 13:52

              @xmagic: That sucks. I have 1 sonoff dongle on my Home assistant Server and have ~30 zigbee devices (6 as routers) from IKEA, aqara, and zemismart all connected and working no problem through zigbee2mqtt.

              @xmagic: Weird setup you have. But I could see a need IF the drivers/quirks were only available for mq2tt or zha and therefore you had two different zigbee integrations running in parallel. But most people can live off of one dongle and integration via Home Assistant. I have 110 zigbee devices on my ZHA network with a Sonoff USB 3.0 dongle.

              • xmagic on 30/10/2023 - 15:26

                @0 0 0: It’s one network actually. Because I have almost no repeater nodes (like lightbulbs , switches or smart sockets) in my network I’ll have to have dedicated repeaters in order to guarantee coverage.

                  @xmagic: Oh yep now I get what you're saying. I have LOTS of routers (mostly light bulbs) and some standalone repeaters and have lots of meshing but you're right that it does have its brand and compatibility problems. I still have several door sensors dropping connection frequently despite having repeater/routers within 1-2 metres

        I think the biggest advantage is there's zero need for internet connectivity, and flexibility (zigbee2mqtt via home assistant offers many options to you in how you want to control your smart home). Some wifi devices also allow local only connectivity, but some (looking at you philips hue) also change the rules after purchase and start making it compulsory to use their cloud services.

        I will say, i'm using some philips hue motion sensors currently and whilst bulky they are by far the most reliable and flexible i've used out of a few vendors. Using via zigbee2mqtt (which auto adopts without any issues, as does ZHA I assume).

      • outlander on 30/10/2023 - 11:01

        Zigbee is a bit more rugged. Its also a bit of a pain to have 10,000 wifi devices clogging up your network, each one just a few tweaks away from being invited into the great botnet party

    • outlander on 30/10/2023 - 11:00

      Highly likely. The remote controls are.

      In a way it's good because it means you should be able to put one together yourself from a $5 esp and a cheap motion sensor, as long as you know what packets its sending (don't think there's any encryption with these)

      Was thinking the same. I'm guessing it's Tuya based, don't know if will work with HA though.

      Got some Monoprice Stitch motion sensors which can power via USB or battery, seemed good because no delays after triggering (on USB power at least). Works well in Tuya/Smartlife app but no support in any of the Tuya integrations unfortunately. Currently using the old version Ikea motion sensors which have at least a minute delay to clear motion detection.

  • Oli G on 30/10/2023 - 10:17

    Do you need a hub to make it works ?

    • Wizz on 30/10/2023 - 10:28

      No

    • bargaino on 30/10/2023 - 10:47

      You need internet and a wifi "hub", which you probably already have.

      But wifi and battery is a bad combination, unless you are regularly recharging.
      These things drain battery if they stay connected, otherwise have to re-connect to wifi every time they detect motion.

      And do you really want to depend on a connection to a server in China every time you want a light to come on?

      • Hugh G Rection on 02/11/2023 - 18:03

        why would you assume that? not everyone is super rich like you.

          ?? you are too poor to have wifi??
          I think I'm missing the joke.

            @bargaino:

            I think I'm missing the joke.

            Of course you would, rich man. I bet you even have a refrigerator in your kitchen, moneybags.

  • YellowKnight on 30/10/2023 - 10:17

    Does this work with Google Home?

  • Fanzao on 30/10/2023 - 10:17

  • bzzybee on 30/10/2023 - 10:21

    Do I need Wiz smart bulb to make it worth or I can I use any smart bulb hooked to Google Home ?

  • J B S on 30/10/2023 - 12:55

    Can this control Philips hue lights or just wiz branded bulbs?

  • codhopper on 30/10/2023 - 15:16

    I have some of the older Wiz globes from Bunnings (maybe $1-2 on clearance). The app has so many problems with my wifi (2 ssids, one 2.4ghz and one mixed). Couldn't get it connected in any good way. One was connected after swapping networks online/offline in the app. Couldn't reproduce the result.

    As people above, recommend zigbee over wifi.
