Key features

Advanced passive infrared (PIR) detection for accuracy and reliability
At the heart of the Xiaomi Mi Motion Sensor is a high-sensitivity PIR sensor, designed to detect changes in infrared radiation caused by human movement. With a detection angle of 170° and a range of up to 7 meters, it ensures broad room coverage and fast reaction times. It effectively filters out background heat and non-human motion, making it ideal for indoor spaces where precision matters most.

Seamless integration with Mi Smart devices
This sensor is fully compatible with Xiaomi’s wide range of smart home products via the Mi Home App. Create automations like “turn on the hallway light when someone walks by at night” or “send an alert if movement is detected when I’m not home.” With just a few taps on your smartphone, the possibilities are endless, and no complex coding or wiring is required.

Minimalist and discreet design
Measuring only 30mm x 30mm x 33mm, the Mi Motion Sensor is exceptionally compact. Its neutral white color and unobtrusive design allow it to blend in seamlessly with modern interiors. You can place it on bookshelves, mount it on walls or ceilings, or even hide it behind furniture. It’s built to do its job quietly without compromising your home’s aesthetics.

Ultra-long battery life for low maintenance
With its efficient power design, the included CR2450 button battery delivers up to two years of uninterrupted performance, reducing the need for constant battery replacement. You can install it and trust that it will keep working behind the scenes without intervention.

Real-time notifications and smart alerts
When linked to the Mi Smart Gateway, the sensor pushes instant alerts to your smartphone via the Mi Home app whenever movement is detected. This makes it perfect for both security monitoring and automated routines, whether you're at home or away.

Fast, simple setup
Installation is designed to be quick and user-friendly. Use the included adhesive mount or a screw-based option, pair the sensor with your hub using the Mi Home app, and configure automations in minutes. No wiring, drilling, or professional help required.
