Give Motion Senso
Worked pretty well. A little inconsistent at times but that may be more about positioning than performance.
Easy set-up & works well
Bought this for the bathroom window. (Battery included) – The sensor was easily picked up by Hive “Install Device” process. My window frame has a curved edge but the sensors fitted on each side using the provided 3M sticking pads – very secure.
I have chosen that when the window opens I receive a text message and a push notification. Other actions are available.
Very pleased and would recommend
It ok bit confused 🤣
It ok bit confused to set up what I want to end get it ok
Good item overall
I have installed these in multiple places in my house. In some instances I have used two in a room, as there would be instances where one or the other might be temporarily obscured. Overall, these work well. But, they can be infuriatingly slow to activate on occasion. Whether this is due to the sensor, or more likely Hive “central”, is not clear. The app is poor in its flexibility though, plus Hive tech support NEVER take ownership of issues that are their making. That said, I am sufficiently satisfied that my house is near totally HIVE plus Alexa equipped for heating, security and lights.
Works faultlessly
I use this as a movement detector in my bedroom to light a lamp in the next bedroom which shines through the slightly ajar doors to allow to see my way to the toilet, there is no street lighting where I live so otherwise it would pitch black. Far more fun than a torch!!!
Easy connectio
Easy to set up but I would have preferred a bit more flexibility in how to mount it. I had to make a support to set it at an angle rather than flat against a wall.
Seems to work
The unit does what it says and programming the Hive app was pretty intuitive. It does feel a bit flimsy for the price.
Note: this was a second purchase after sending back a faulty unit so I’m not entirely confident of its reliability
Really simple, versatile senso
Really simple set up with Hive ( install new device, that’s it) easy to set up routines like on/ off lights or heating. Small, neat device with wide angle sensor, brilliant value
So far so good
Appears to be working fine and connects to my Hive network without issue. Not had it long enough to comments on battery life
I purchased the Hive Motion Sensor to control my smart lighting whenever there was movement on the landing. The motion sensor works perfectly and the Hive app easily allows routines to be set and I quickly had the landing light coming on when motion was detected during the hours of darkness, staying on for 5 minutes, then automatically turning off again.
The sensor sticks to a flat surface using the double sided sticky pads provided. Be warned, they are strong enough to remove paint if you try to reposition them. I’d suggest experimenting with positioning using tacky putty before finally using the pads once happy.
The only downside is that around 5% of the time, the light does not turn off again after 5 minutes. Whilst I appreciate that this is a software issue rather than a malfunction of the sensor, as I cant use the sensor without the app then it’s irritating enough to lose a star. Should the bugs in the app be sorted, this would work perfectly.

Works, detects door opening and alerts
Only bought one to try out but it works fab I get alerts on my phone when the door is opened.
Generally a good product.
I have a fairly large ‘Hive’ installation in constant use, with a number of these motion detectors for various applications. They are generally reliable and work well, but occasionally drop ‘off-line’. Lithium battery powered – lasts for ages! Motion detectors can sometimes be a little temperamental to set up (out of range) if remotely sited from hub or signal boosters. Hive ‘App’ can also be a little unstable – but with recent upgrades, it’s getting better with time. Tech Support (Call Centre) is not easy to contact. On-line tech support rarely works for me…
