THIRDREALITY Zigbee Motion Sensor 2-Pack — Pet Friendly

THIRDREALITY Zigbee Motion Sensor 2 Pack is a compact, pet-friendly motion detector that links to Zigbee-enabled hubs and Echo devices to automate lights and routines indoors.

These motion sensors connect to Zigbee hubs and compatible Echo devices to trigger scenes, alerts, and smart devices. Designed for indoor use, each sensor detects movement up to 20 feet (6 meters) and runs on two AAA batteries for extended life. They’re compatible with many Zigbee ecosystems including Home Assistant, SmartThings, Hubitat, Aeotec, Homey and Echo devices with built-in Zigbee—just pair them with a hub to start automating rooms, hallways, and stairways.

How do I use these sensors to automate lights and devices?

After pairing the sensor with a compatible Zigbee hub or Echo device, create routines in your hub’s app (for example, Alexa or Home Assistant) to turn lights or plugs on and off based on motion. Routines let you set timing, messages, and linked devices.

• Pair with Echo or Zigbee hub then create an automation rule
• Set trigger conditions: motion detected, no motion timeout
• Link smart bulbs/plugs to turn on, change scenes or notify
• Customize delay and sensitivity within your hub’s settings

Will these sensors work with my smart home platform?

The THIRDREALITY sensors use the Zigbee standard, so they integrate with many popular Zigbee hubs and platforms. They are known to work with Home Assistant, SmartThings, Hubitat, Aeotec, Homey, Third Reality Hub and Echo models that include a Zigbee hub.

• Compatible with Echo (4th Gen), Echo Plus and Echo Studio that have Zigbee
• Work with Home Assistant, SmartThings (2015/2018), Hubitat, Aeotec and Homey
• Requires a Zigbee hub—plug-and-play with supported controllers
• Supports OTA firmware updates through compatible bridges

Are these sensors pet friendly and what are their detection limits?

The sensors are designed to reduce false triggers from small pets while reliably detecting human movement. Detection reaches up to about 20 feet (6 meters); placement height and angle affect performance, so position them to focus on human pathways and avoid low pet traffic zones.

• Pet-friendly design minimizes small-animal false alarms
• Effective detection range up to 20 feet (6 meters)
• Mount at recommended height and angle for best results
• Adjust timeout and sensitivity in the hub if available

How easy is installation and what about battery life?

Installation is quick: put the sensor in pairing mode, then use your Zigbee hub or compatible Echo device to discover it. The unit is powered by two AAA batteries that can last up to two years under typical usage, and the housing includes a simple battery-access compartment for fast replacement.

• Simple pairing with "Alexa, discover devices" or hub discovery tools
• Indoor-only design with mount or tabletop placement options
• Runs on two AAA batteries—typical life up to two years
• Battery compartment and mounts allow quick servicing

Who is this for: The THIRDREALITY Zigbee Motion Sensor 2 Pack suits smart-home users who already have—or plan to add—a Zigbee-compatible hub and want reliable indoor motion sensing. It’s ideal for households seeking hands-free lighting, safer entryways, or automation routines that work across Home Assistant, SmartThings, Hubitat, Aeotec, Homey and Echo devices with built-in Zigbee hubs. Choose this pack if you want long battery life, simple setup, and pet-aware detection for indoor automation projects.
