SWITCHBOT Presence Sensor

SWITCHBOT Presence Sensor

The SwitchBot occupancy sensor was created for those who expect more from a smart home than just motion detection. It combines three detection technologies, offers long battery life, allows for flexible installation, and provides quick automation without the need for a hub in simpler scenarios. This makes it effective where traditional sensors fail—in the bathroom, study, living room, or reading area—anywhere you might be stationary for extended periods. It's a refined solution for those who want greater comfort, better control over lighting and devices, and privacy without the cloud or recording.

Three technologies in one device

Unlike standard motion sensors, SwitchBot uses an advanced 3-in-1 system that combines a light sensor to detect ambient light levels, a PIR sensor for rapid response to motion, and an mmWave radar for presence detection. This combination significantly increases speed and accuracy, as the device isn't limited to detecting movement alone, but can also recognize the presence of a person standing still. The sensor even detects chest movements in a stationary person, making it ideal for bathing, working at a desk, relaxing, or reading. This means no more situations where the lights go out just because you're not moving for a moment.

No more unwanted light switches

One of the biggest advantages of the SwitchBot occupancy sensor is its ability to distinguish between normal movement and the presence of a person in a room. This is especially important in spaces where people often spend time without making significant gestures, such as the bathroom, home office, bedroom, or living room. Thanks to mmWave technology supported by PIR and a light sensor, the system can keep lights on or activate specific devices precisely when needed. Instead of annoying interruptions and random dimming, you get a more natural, convenient, and intelligent operation of the entire space.

Wide range and more complete room coverage

SwitchBot offers a wide 120° detection angle, allowing for coverage of a larger area without the need for complex installation planning. The detection range for human movement is up to 8 meters, and for a stationary person up to 5 meters, allowing the device to work effectively in both smaller rooms and more open areas of the home. These parameters allow the sensor to provide full coverage of spaces from the bathroom to the living room, meeting the needs of various usage scenarios. Whether it's controlling entryway lighting, supporting the comfort of remote work, or ensuring convenience during everyday activities, it operates reliably and precisely.

A faucet that allows for easy installation

The clever battery-powered design allows you to place the sensor precisely where it will be most effective, without the hassle of running a power cord. You can place it on a bookshelf, desk, or metal shelf using the strong magnetic mount, and thanks to its IPX5 resistance rating, it can also be safely used in the bathroom. The device is equipped with an energy-efficient mmWave radar with ultra-low power consumption, allowing it to operate for up to 2 years on a single battery change. This solution simplifies installation, increases the convenience of everyday use, and allows you to easily move the sensor between rooms if your needs change.

Magnetic base and flexible installation

The SwitchBot is equipped with a magnetic base, which allows for a wide range of device placement. The sensor can be placed flat, wall-mounted, and its detection angle can be adjusted to better suit a specific interior. This flexibility allows you to easily adjust the detection zone to suit the conditions in the bathroom, living room, office, or other rooms in the home. Adjusting the detection area also helps reduce accidental activations and better utilize the sensor's full potential in everyday automation.

Fast automation without a hub

The SwitchBot occupancy sensor is designed to enable instant, device-to-device automation without the need for a hub. This means lightning-fast response in seconds and the convenient creation of simple local scenarios. The sensor can work directly with select SwitchBot devices and can be configured for up to two automations, which is more than enough for many everyday applications. If you need more extensive automations involving multiple devices simultaneously, the sensor can work with the SwitchBot hub. This connection opens the door to creating more complex scenes, such as automatically turning on lights and air purifiers when working from home.

Fewer false alarms, more effective

SwitchBot offers a self-learning AI function that can be activated with a single click to automatically filter out interference from fans, air conditioners, and other non-human motion sources. This important feature improves detection accuracy and reduces unnecessary automation activations. Combined with the ability to rotate the sensor and adjust the detection area, the magnetic base also helps better control the device's operating zone and effectively avoid false triggers from pets. This allows the sensor to adapt to a wide range of living conditions and specific interiors.

Compatible with popular smart home platforms

The SwitchBot occupancy sensor supports Matter and works with Alexa, Google Home, Home Assistant, and SmartThings, making it easy to integrate with your existing smart home system. Apple Home support is available through the SwitchBot Matter Hub, providing even greater flexibility for those using the Apple ecosystem. Additionally, SwitchBot ensures that information remains local, without the cloud, and without recording. This is especially important in rooms like the bathroom, bedroom, or study, where the convenience of using smart solutions should go hand in hand with a sense of privacy. This allows you to benefit from automation and advanced occupancy detection without worrying about unnecessary recording of daily activity.
