MOES Smart WiFi PIR Motion Detector P01 | Works with Tuya App

MOES PIR Motion Sensor P01 WiFi | Smart WiFi Motion Detection without Hub for Automation and Security

Elevate your smart home automations with the MOES PIR Motion Sensor P01 WiFi. This compact wireless sensor detects the presence of people via passive infrared (PIR) and sends notifications directly via your own 2.4GHz WiFi network. Link the sensor from our range of motion sensors to your lighting to automatically turn on lights as soon as you enter a room, or use it as a reliable trigger for your security scenes. Because this WiFi version communicates directly with the Tuya ecosystem, it is the ideal entry-level solution for the Tuya smart home owner without the need for a separate gateway or hub.

Direct WiFi connection, 128° detection angle, and 30-second cooldown

The MOES P01 WiFi is equipped with a high-quality infrared sensor that boasts a generous detection angle of approximately 128 degrees. This allows the sensor to effortlessly cover large areas of your room, hallway, or garage. As soon as movement is detected within a range of 4 to 6 meters in the direction of travel, the sensor sends a notification to the cloud via WiFi. Thanks to the built-in 30-second cooldown period, consecutive notifications are efficiently clustered, ensuring a clear notification overview and better battery management.

Powered by standard AAA batteries and flexible mounting

Unlike sensors with rare coin cells, the MOES PIR Motion Sensor P01 WiFi operates on 2x AAA batteries. This makes replacing the batteries extremely accessible, affordable, and quick. The sensor is completely wireless and comes with a 3M adhesive pad and mounting hardware, allowing you to attach it to the wall or ceiling within a minute. Please note that WiFi radio consumes more power than a Zigbee or Matter protocol (estimated: approximately 5,000 PIR detections on WiFi versus ~100,000 with Zigbee). If you are looking for a solution with maximum battery life and local control for hubs like Home Assistant or Homey, we recommend our Zigbee solutions or Matter sensors.

Ecosystems & Compatibility

• Tuya / Smart Life: Full, direct support via the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app on iOS and Android without an external hub required. Includes options for quick pairing and sharing devices with family members.
• Home Assistant: Can be linked via the official Tuya cloud integration. For users who want full local control and longer battery life within Home Assistant, we recommend a Zigbee or Matter motion sensor.
• Homey Pro: Can be integrated via the Tuya cloud app for Homey Pro, allowing you to include the motion sensor in your automated Flows.
• SmartThings: Can be added via the Tuya cloud link within the SmartThings platform to start basic scenes upon detection.

Pro-Tip from slimhuisje.nl: Always use high-quality alkaline AAA batteries and avoid mounting directly opposite heat sources or direct sunlight to limit false triggers. Make smart use of the MOES P01's 30-second cooldown time by setting a switch-off delay of 2 to 5 minutes on your smart lighting!

Technical specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need a separate hub or coordinator for this motion sensor?

No, the MOES PIR Motion Sensor P01 WiFi connects directly to your own 2.4GHz WiFi router via the Tuya Smart Life app. You do not need a separate Zigbee or Z-Wave gateway to install the sensor.

Are the AAA batteries included in the package?

No, the 2x AAA batteries are not included. You can easily insert standard alkaline AAA batteries to power the sensor directly.

How does the 30-second cooldown of the MOES P01 WiFi work?

When the sensor detects motion, it immediately sends a notification. Subsequently, there is a fixed recovery time of 30 seconds during which no new notifications are sent. Only if there is new motion after these 30 seconds will a new trigger follow. This prevents an abundance of notifications in the app.

Is this WiFi motion sensor suitable for Home Assistant or Homey Pro?

The sensor primarily operates within the Tuya ecosystem via the cloud. Although there is a Tuya cloud integration for platforms such as Home Assistant and Homey Pro, for these administrators, we recommend Zigbee or Matter solutions from our range of sensors due to their local operation and longer battery life.

What is the difference in battery life between the WiFi and Zigbee variants?

WiFi chips consume significantly more energy during radio communication than Zigbee chips. The WiFi version has an estimated battery life of approximately 5,000 PIR detections on a set of batteries, while comparable Zigbee sensors can achieve up to 100,000 detections on a single charge.
