GoveeLife Wireless Motion Sensor - Smart Home Automation Device with Group Control for Unlimited Devices, Mini Contact Sensor, Battery Powered, Compatible with Most GoveeLife Smart Products - Perfect for Home Security, Lighting Control & Smart Automation

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.
