THIRDREALITY Motion Sensor R1 with Weatherproof Case — 5.8G Radar, Zigbee Hub Required

Overview

The THIRDREALITY Motion Sensor R1 blends smart sensing with rugged adaptability to fit your space. Built with a 5.8 GHz mmWave radar sensor, it detects movement with precision while remaining resilient to lighting changes, wind, and temperature shifts. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, this unit can be placed on a shelf, mounted on a wall, or tucked into a porch corner, making it a versatile companion for smarter routines and enhanced awareness. A Zigbee hub is required to unlock its full potential, and compatibility spans Echo devices with built-in Zigbee hubs, Home Assistant, SmartThings, Hubitat, and more.

Why the radar approach matters

Radar-based sensing offers reliable motion detection in dynamic environments. It responds to human movement and vehicle movement, while minimizing false triggers caused by ambient light or minor weather changes. This makes it suitable for busy entryways, driveways, yards, and high-traffic rooms where you want dependable alerts without noise.

• 5.8 GHz mmWave radar delivers precise detection across lighting conditions
• Less prone to false alarms from sun, wind, or temperature shifts

Weatherproof design meets everyday practicality

Outdoors or near water, the Motion Sensor R1 stays ready thanks to a dedicated silicone case that resists water jets from multiple directions. This expands potential placements to include driveways, gates, garages, pools, or covered outdoor spaces while maintaining a clean, unobtrusive look indoors.

• Silicone housing provides weather-resistant protection
• Suitable for both exterior and interior applications

Power, placement, and range you can tune

Power comes from three AA batteries, enabling cordless placement with flexible positioning. In typical use, you can expect long life—up to about three years—reducing maintenance. The detection range is adjustable on the device from 1.5 to 9.5 meters with simple button controls, so you don’t need to open an app to tailor it to your room.

Smart automations that fit your routines

When paired with a compatible hub, the R1 can drive routines that feel natural and helpful. Imagine lights turning on as you walk into a room or instant notifications arriving on your phone when motion is detected. These capabilities support convenience and energy efficiency without locking you into a fixed setup.

• Trigger lights or scenes automatically on motion
• Receive quick alerts to your phone for peace of mind

What to know before you buy

A Zigbee hub is required to use the Motion Sensor R1. The sensor is designed for compatibility with Echo devices with built-in Zigbee hubs, Home Assistant, SmartThings, Hubitat, and additional Zigbee ecosystems. The range can be tuned between 1.5 and 9.5 meters using onboard controls, offering flexibility for different room layouts without needing to launch the mobile app.
