This sensor uses radio waves to detect human presence. Use it to trigger automation effects when someone is using a specific area - even if they're sitting still!

Transform your home with the Sonoff Zigbee Human Presence Sensor, a Zigbee-enabled presence sensor powered by advanced 5.8GHz microwave radar technology. Whether you want lights to follow your footsteps or smarter energy savings, this sensor has you covered.

Security and Convenience

Use this human presence detection sensor to trigger alerts or activate security lighting, adding peace of mind to your home.

To use Zigbee devices, you’ll need a Zigbee-compatible USB dongle connected to an always-on computer (a Raspberry Pi is ideal!) or a dedicated smart home solution like the excellent Home Assistant Green (with Zigbee dongle) or the Sonoff iHost.

What Is Zigbee?

Zigbee is a wireless standard enabling low-power, secure connections between smart devices. Widely used in home automation for devices such as thermostats, sensors, and locks, its energy efficiency allows some devices to operate for years on a single coin cell battery.

One of Zigbee’s greatest advantages is its local nature – no need for cloud subscriptions or even an internet connection. Everything can remain within your home, ensuring both high security and resilience against internet outages.

Top brands like IKEA, Philips Hue, Tuya, and Sonoff offer Zigbee-supported devices. This allows you to combine products from various manufacturers into one smart home setup, ensuring you’re not locked into a single vendor – brilliant!

With an indoor range of 10–100 metres and extended outdoor coverage, Zigbee’s mesh networking ensures reliable communication, even if some devices go offline. Its robust security features, including encryption and key protection, safeguard your smart home and keep it under your control.
