Another Great Product By Govee
Christmas sales started popping off.. already had a tiny bit of experience with Govee lightbulbs and home automation. For the price point (especially when on sale).. it was a no brainer.The sensor is fairly small, battery already installed… had done my homework and knew I needed the Govee Distributed Gateway in order to best utilize this device; picked up a pair of Govee smart plugs that also act as the necessary hubs. By combining the two, you are able to lint the sensor to the hub/plug and truly take advantage of configuring it automation capabilities.My first one was purchased during that Holliday Sale high… as a result of realizing that for whatever reason I continuously leave the bathroom lights on.. working from home; this means they can and will be on all day and all night unnecessarily. So, this kinda just fell into my lap and everything started sparkling and “Dreamweaver” was faintly heard… it was meant to be.Setup: super freaking easy. Open box. Open App. Hit the + in the app.. bam! Added the sensor and plug hub. Skimmed an article to make sure I understood how their “ Distributed Gateway “ works and how the UI for automation setup is configured.- so I set up the automation to trigger when you step into the bathroom; kicking the lights on automatically and also after a defined time interval turns them back off. Easy peasy.. and as an additional bonus: I now can wake up in the middle of the night or early in the morning and just walk into the Ian’s not have to worry about finding the light switch when I’m not even fully awake; definitely don’t have to worry about hitting the lights on my way back to bed either!Works so well, that I have purchased a second one and configured automation similarly to turn on and also kill the lights in my home office/studio/workbench/tinkering hobby lab. – as I am always busy and strive to take on every task that comes my way. Knowing that I have an extra pair of motion “ eyes “ without relying on cameras to do the same thing that might become a security risk had I gone with a completely different non-Govee solution.Would I or have I suggested this to any one I know OH YES I HAVE!!!*** would I purchase again?— ALREADY HAVE ( in under a 3 weeks)— Planning on picking up a couple moreAnd the special extra I got out of the smart plug.. allows me to control them via the app as well as verbally;via Google Home Assistant. Can’t beat those collective multiple abilities…. And I’m already seeing a noticeable difference in my power bill.Thanks Govee!! For pick him up the ball when others have dropped it and building such an amazing larger ecosystem and GoveeLife. Bringing the larger vision of home automation and such a huge variety of great products and products that allow for such a a flexible application of your offerings and you just can’t beat how easy it is to get the hardware configured. Gone are the days of 15 minute setup per unit and all the frustration that came while dealing with very well known competitor’s products; which unfortunately are slowing all dying out in my home ecosystem.A very pleasant experience.Things work and are accepted openly when they do just one thing: exactly what it says it does with extremely easy setup.

It just works if you have it turn off the lights after 15 min.
Works well for my need. I was able to set it up to auto turn on lights when I enter the room, I extended the timeout to about 15 to turn off automatically. I wish the app supported iOS proximity so when I enter an area via gps it would turn on like I have with my iHome plug bar. Outside of that you need a subscription to ITTT. This filled that void and allows me to have something that will turn on the lights when I enter the room, and sitting next to the sensor, it doesn’t turn off the lights throughout the day until I leave at night. It connects via Wifi with no issues and is very easy to getup. There are a lot more options, but I just needed it to keep the lights on while I’m in the room and it works well for that. I’ve not had it long enough to understand the battery life, but being able to disable it firing for 15 min should extend the battery life. Its a great value for the money cause it just works.

Works perfectly

Good motion sensor with big height profile
Works very well to control my Govee lights. My only complaint is the profile is large for what it does (the base to top of camera makes it stick out very far).

Govee App makes these unusable
The Govee app provides only “Instant Execution” and “Delayed Execution” automations, and no “No Motion Detected” feature.That means you have to select a time period that the lights WILL turn OFF, incredibly even if motion is still being detected.So, I am working in my garage and the automation keeps turning OFF the lights, even though I am moving near the sensor AND I commanded the lights to be ON, and it runs the time off automation every time it senses motion. Even worse, I have multiple motion sensors in the garage, at each entry point and each will start an automation to turn the lights on, then off.These motion detectors DO NOT appear in the Alexa (or other) apps to create a routine there, so the Govee app is the only way to create automations, and it simply will not do.Even if one of these was just controlling a hallway light, say off after 5 minutes, if you are passing back through at 5 minutes it could time out right when you need it and leave you in the dark… and it takes them 10+ seconds to cycle back to being able to turn on after the automation times out.This is a horrible product because it has a horrible app. I will be returning these and the Govee smart plugs I bought to use these with, and I will not be buying anything Govee again.

Alittl slow to detect but great for the money
It takes just a sec to detect but that might be just the input of everthing working together. As govee there compatability for everything is great. Awesome little motion detector full range of motion once adhered but also good setting in the app that is also extremely easy to use. yet again the is a product needing a gateway as in a hub but if you got it its extremely easy to pick and choose what you want to turn on and off. Also pretty cheap for a motion detector.

Automation Life
I love the Govee motion sensors. I purchased 3 of this in the last month and they are amazing. I have one at the top of the stairs on the second floor to turn on the lamp. I have one in the basement that turns on the basement lights as soon as you walk in. I also have one in my closet.Something to know. This motion sensor only works with Govee, however, if your like me. I have bulbs and plugs and it controls both. It does not work with Alexa. I mean it may but you can not set up automations through Alexa. You will have to use the Govee app.Added bonus… if you turn the alerts on. It will tell you if there is someone in places they are not supposed to be. Our basement has an exterior door so I have it set to let me know if someone is in the basement.

Works and is very easy to set up
But… It is very laggy. I got two to control the new strip light Pro that i’m placing up the side of my stairs as a night light but as I say, laggy! So easy to set up but it isnt instant on but I do love Govee! I just ordered the plug on ones hoping they react more quickly.

Tengo muchos productos Govee, porque me parecen fabulosos, sin embargo, en cuanto a este sensor, lo compré como complemento a mis luces para ahorrar un poco de energía eléctrica, y me hice no sólo de uno sino de 6, en todos ellos no se activa el comando apagar, solo me sirven para activar las luces, ya escribí con la gente de Govee y no me solucionaron el problema, es mas, ya ni me contestan a mis cuestionamientos. Espero que haya alguna actualización o que encuentre alguna solución por mi mismo para lograr que se desactiven las luces.

Smaller than expected, but it’s a great device.

Needed to replace an outdoor sensor that I have been using indoors. Much smaller than expected which is a good thing. Work well with with the ceiling lights when set up on a timer
Isaac Thompson –
Set up within minutes, been a few weeks now and been working flawlessly and still showing full battery. Can link to anything else in my Govee app. Currently using it as a motion sensor for the light in my ensuite, adding the final touch to automated lighting in my apartment. No need for me to touch any switches anymore as they all turn on during sunset and turn off automatically at set times of a night. This motion sensor and the whole govee system is a true affordable gamechanger

I bought the Goveelife motion sensor in the hopes I could control my Govee ceiling smart light in my bathroom without the need of voice commands! Happy to say it does exactly what i wanted it to do and was so easy to set up.I currently have it set up to turn on upon sensor and then turn off 3 minutes later from the same sense.The unit is actually a lot smaller then i anticiapated which is a plus as it doesnt stick out too much in the bathroom (i do worry people perceive it to be a camera but time will tell) It comes with a 3m sticky label to attach to a surface however i haven’t used this yet until i find the most ideal area.The only downside is the cost, If it was slightly cheaper then i would have multple in the house and garden.
