FAQs
Do I need a Zigbee Hub for this sensor?
Yes, a Zigbee Hub is required for the THIRDREALITY Zigbee Motion Sensor to function. It is not a standalone Wi-Fi device.
What Zigbee Hubs are compatible?
It is compatible with many Zigbee hubs including Echo (4th Gen and newer), Echo Plus, SmartThings, Home Assistant, Hubitat, and Third Reality's own Hub Gen2 Plus.
Can I use this with Apple HomeKit or Google Home?
Direct integration with Apple HomeKit and Google Home requires the Smart Bridge MZ1, which is sold separately. Without the Smart Bridge, it primarily works with platforms that directly support Zigbee devices or Amazon Alexa.
How long do the batteries last?
With typical usage, the 2 AAA batteries can last for up to 2 years.
What is the detection range of the sensor?
The sensor can detect motion up to 20 feet (6 meters) away.
How do I reset the sensor?
Typically, you can reset the sensor by removing and reinserting the batteries. Some models may have a dedicated reset button. Refer to your specific hub's instructions for pairing.
Can this sensor trigger routines in Alexa?
Yes, when connected to a compatible Zigbee Hub (like an Echo device), you can create custom routines in the Alexa app based on motion detection.
Troubleshooting
Sensor not connecting to Zigbee Hub
Ensure your Zigbee Hub is powered on and in pairing mode. Verify the sensor is within range of the hub. Try resetting the sensor by removing and reinserting the batteries or pressing a reset button if available.
Motion not detected reliably
Check that the sensor's placement is not obstructed and is within its 20-foot detection range. Ensure the sensor is clean. Verify that the correct batteries are installed and have sufficient charge.
False motion triggers
Avoid placing the sensor where pets, moving curtains, or rapid temperature changes could be misinterpreted as motion. Adjust the sensor's angle or position if necessary.
Automated lights/routines not activating
Confirm that the routine or automation rule is correctly set up in your smart assistant app (e.g., Alexa). Ensure the sensor is properly linked to the routine and that the smart lights or devices are online and responsive.
