The Xiaomi Mi Motion Sensor (model 23953) is a small, wireless, and discrete infrared (PIR) sensor designed to detect the movement of people and pets. It is a core component of the Xiaomi smart home ecosystem and requires a compatible Zigbee hub to enable its smart features.
Key features
- Infrared motion detection: The sensor uses a built-in pyroelectric infrared sensor to accurately detect movement by sensing heat sources, such as humans and animals.
- Wide detection range: It features a wide detection angle of 170° and a maximum range of 7 meters.
- Smart home integration: The sensor can be paired with a Mi Control Hub (sold separately) to enable a variety of smart home automations through the Mi Home app.
- Programmable scenarios: Using the app, you can create scenarios that trigger actions on other smart devices when motion is detected. For example:
- Automatically turn on lights when you enter a room.
- Trigger a security alert on your phone if movement is detected while you are away.
- Set home appliances to turn off automatically when no activity is detected for a period of time.
- Low power consumption: The sensor is battery-powered with a long battery life of up to 24 months, depending on usage frequency.
- Easy installation: The small, lightweight design makes it easy to install and place anywhere. It comes with a self-adhesive back, allowing for simple wall or ceiling mounting.
- Safe and durable: Made from high-quality, fire-resistant material with a polyolefin lens that improves light intake and detection accuracy.
- Compact and stylish: The sleek, minimalist design allows the sensor to blend seamlessly into any home decor.
