HiveMotion Sensor, White

I use these with a custom Zigbee setup not with Hive directly. They are very reliable in terms of connection and performance. The battery lasts a fair time, 3-6 months with regular triggers. Seems stable on Zigbee and doesn't drop out like similar products from other brands. Looks quite pleasant too especially when fitted into a corner, blends in well.Seems to trigger well but does get triggered by our cats which was expected. Attaching it to the wall is easy and they seem sticky and strong enough to not fall off, some I've had up a few years. Not to big but holds a better size battery so worth the additional size to allow longer times between changing.

Hive good quality product in it self, able to control plugs lights and what ever else you want to plug Into

This sensor requires a hub this is ok if you already invested in the hive eco system otherwise you'd have to fork out £70+ for the hub. You can use it to get peace of mind when you are out of your house. Use this on your door or window, it detects windows and door opening, so if its opened when you're not in you get a notification straight away on your smartphone.Set up and instructions is very easy and straight forward especially if you already have Hive. installation on your door or window is also very easy, the sensor comes with sticky pads, making the install very clean and simple. Whilst the app could be a lot better, it is very simple and easy to use.Through the app you can set up automation/routines and you can also set up the Hive Door sensor to be used with other Hive integrated products like the Hive smart plug, motion sensor, camera and light bulbs. You can check the status of your door or window and look up activity over the last 24 hours for free or pay £5 a month to look up the last 30 days.A few reviews complain about connection issues and battery life but I haven't had any such issues. I have the latest wireless Hive 360 hub, the hub itself has on the odd occasion gone offline for some strange reason, but that's an issue with the hub not the sensor. I've been using the sensor for just over a year and it's battery indicator on the Hive app shows the battery is still full which is great.I like this sensor, it's reasonably priced and works fairly well as a security device, however I can only really recommend it if you're already locked into the Hive eco system, that way you'd get the most out of it. Hope this was helpful.

If you're a Hive home you can't go far wrong with these sensors they work really well.

The Hive range of products are well built and reliable, the sensor is simple to add through the app and quick to configure routines to include other Hive products such as lightbulbs. I have this set up so when I open the front door between certain times it turns on the lights in the lounge.Works well and would recommend if you require a quick way of triggering simple routines to integrate other Hive products.

good quality looks good works perfectly

Doesn't quite do what it says on the tinMy cats set it off😛On a plus side it isn't as sensitive as the regular motion sensorThere are no mounting instructions i.e. portrait or landscapeI googled it and it didn't seem to matterI use my sensor to control stair lighting hence the landscape mountingApart from that it's fineThe battery cover is very stiff compared with the regular sensor

bought a couple of these.one had a dud battery, which sounds easy but a) was a really obscure battery and b) problem did not show up as a dud. I had to swap it between sensors and wait a few hours for the battery change to register..sorted that, at own expense, but after about three days of use one of them stopped sending motion records. the activity light went on but the log recorded nothing.minor points: a bit naff looking, more like a doorbell, the case slips apart too easily and the batteries don't look secure in there.
