Best Motion Sensors for Home Assistant (WATCH before you BUY!)

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

In this video I review fourteen different smart motion sensors that work with #HomeAssistant using Zigbee Home Automation (ZHA) and Z-Wave JS. I tested each #motionsensor and compare them, so you can decide which one is right for your #smarthome.

Thanks for watching! I hope this review helps you out when you're looking for a motion sensor! I've left affiliate links below for all the products - if you decide to buy one, using the link will help me financially at no additional cost to you! If there are two links, the non-Amazon link is the cheapest price, not including shipping. Thanks!
