Top rated Motion sensors
Here’s a ranking of the top rated Motion sensors. To give you a quick overview, we’ve added the most important information about each product. This page always stays fresh and updates automatically.
1. Philips Hue motion sensor
The motion detector recognises whether someone enters a dark room or leaves an illuminated room. In the first case, it activates the light with the brightness and colour temperature you have programmed. So if, for example, the children have to go to the loo at night, they are not dazzled by bright light but are guided through the corridors by soft lighting. In the second case, when someone leaves a room and no one is moving around, the sensor gradually dims the light by 50 per cent before switching it off completely. Requires a Philips Hue bridge.
2. Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Detectors
With the weatherproof Philips Hue Outdoor Sensor, your indoor and outdoor lighting will automatically turn on or off. Thanks to the energy-saving daylight sensor, the device only activates when there is insufficient natural light. This way, your lighting is only on when it is truly needed. The sensor has a detection angle of 160° horizontally and 80° vertically, with a range of 12 meters. You can customize the response time of under 0.5 seconds in the Hue app. The package includes a mount that can be attached either facing forward or in a corner. The sensor is powered by batteries, eliminating the need for any disruptive cables. For optimal results, a mounting height of 1.5 to 2.5 meters is recommended. Batteries included.
3. Steinel Is 140-2
Live comfortably while saving energy. Enjoy improved quality of life, safety, and energy savings through the intelligent sensor technology from STEINEL.
Lights on/off – automatically. Highly innovative sensors respond to movements and lighting conditions, turning the lights on automatically and off after a set time.
The IS 140-2 is considered a classic among infrared motion detectors. STEINEL has now enhanced this classic with even more features. With larger adjustable angles both horizontally and vertically for targeted detection around the house at a detection angle of 140°, increased range (up to 14 m), and more detection levels, the IS 140-2 allows for more comprehensive monitoring. The optical system is equipped with precise, spherical Fresnel lenses that enable more accurate person detection and consistently high range.
Adjustment options: Exact customization of the detection area through the horizontally adjustable optical system (90°) and vertically adjustable (180°). Additionally, the detection area can be limited using the included cover plates. The IS 140-2 features simple adjustment of time and twilight threshold via a rotary knob located at the bottom of the sensor lens. Thanks to the spacious, clearly laid out connection area, the infrared motion detector IS 140-2 can be wired easily and quickly, and mounted on a wall or corner – the suitable corner wall bracket is available as an accessory. The connection can be made either surface-mounted or flush-mounted.

6. Goobay PIR 360° up to 6m
Motion detector / Detection area: 360° x (up to 6m) / Switching time: 10sec - 7min / Colour: White
360° infrared motion detector for indoor use. The PIR sensor reacts to minimal local temperature changes, so it registers people, vehicles and animals moving in the detection area, while ignoring swirling leaves or moving branches. It also ignores temperature fluctuations caused by solar radiation, for example. In this way, the motion detector avoids false switching and ensures reliable detection of relevant objects. If the sensor's detection area is entered, the connected electrical load is switched on and automatically switched off again after an individually definable period of time. It is also possible to determine the ambient brightness at which the motion detector becomes active.
7. Feller Pirios 180 R
The Feller EDIZIOdue PIR motion detector pirios UP 180 R is a highly advanced motion sensor designed for flush mounting. With a detection angle of 180 degrees and a range of up to 12 meters, this motion detector provides comprehensive monitoring for indoor spaces. The integrated twilight switch allows for flexible adjustment to ambient brightness, while the adjustable response brightness of 10 to 2000 Lux ensures precise control of the lighting. The on-time can be set between 10 seconds and 40 minutes, allowing for individual customization to various requirements. The motion detector is equipped with a 1-channel relay and supports a maximum switching power of 2300 watts, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The mounting height of 1.1 meters and the option to combine with other Feller products offer additional flexibility.
- Adjustable brightness threshold, sensitivity, and time delay
- Short pulse function for flexible control
- LED motion indicator for visual feedback
- Master/Slave function for area expansion
- Robust design with IP20 protection rating for indoor applications.
8. Aqara Motion Sensor P1
The P1 motion sensor detects body movements and the state of ambient light. When people move or the ambient light condition changes in the detected areas, the motion sensor sends a notification to the Aqara Home App via the connected Aqara Zigbee 3.0 Hub or connects to other devices.
Configurable Detection Timeout: The detection timeout can be configured without hardware modification. Simply set any time span from 1 to 200 seconds, confirm it by pressing the device button, and the P1 will no longer get stuck for one minute as before. Please note: Reducing the detection timeout will result in shorter battery life.
5-Year Battery Life: Thanks to energy-saving technologies and improved batteries, the P1 motion sensor can now achieve a record-breaking battery life of five years, allowing it to last even in particularly low temperatures or with rapid detection timeouts.
Comprehensive Compatibility: Compatible with the most popular smart home ecosystems. HomeKit, Alexa, IFTTT, and more are supported. Matter support will be available as an OTA update for Aqara hubs following the official release of the specification.
Adjustable Sensitivity (Distance): Users can set how sensitive the sensor should be. Three sensitivity modes (high, medium, and low) relate to the distance from which the sensor is triggered, helping to reduce false alarms and making installation more flexible.
Built-in Light Sensor: The built-in light sensor in the P1 can be used to control lighting more accurately. For example, turn on the light only when it is dark and movement is detected, saving energy and extending the lifespan of the bulbs.
