MOES Zigbee PIR Motion Sensor P01 Motion Detector | ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT & Tuya support

MOES Zigbee PIR Motion Sensor ZP01 | Smart Motion Detection with ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT, and Tuya Support

Make your smart home even more intuitive with the MOES Zigbee PIR Motion Sensor ZP01. This compact wireless sensor detects even the slightest movements using passive infrared (PIR) and quickly sends a local signal to your smart network. Pair the sensor from our range of motion sensors with your lighting to automatically switch on lights when you enter a room, or use it as a reliable trigger sensor for your security scenes. Because the sensor operates on the energy-efficient Zigbee 3.0 protocol, it responds without noticeable delay, and its battery lasts significantly longer than Wi-Fi variants.

Full Support for ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT, and Tuya

The MOES ZP01 Zigbee motion detector is a true all-rounder in terms of compatibility. Whether you use a universal Zigbee coordinator with Home Assistant (ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT) or an official Tuya Zigbee gateway, this sensor is recognized immediately. All entities, such as motion detection, occupancy status, and battery status, are clearly readable. This gives you the freedom to set up your smart home locally and exactly to your preferences.

128° Detection Angle, 30s Cooldown, and Convenient AAA Power

The MOES ZP01 is equipped with a high-quality lens that features a generous detection angle of approximately 128 degrees. This allows the sensor to effortlessly cover larger areas of your room, hallway, or landing. Thanks to the built-in 30-second cooldown period, the sensor quickly resets for a new notification without overloading your network. Additionally, this sensor operates on 2x AAA batteries. This makes replacing the batteries extremely accessible, affordable, and quick to manage.

Ecosystems & Compatibility

• Home Assistant: Excellent local connectivity via ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT. Motion notifications and battery percentages are processed directly and without cloud delay in your dashboards and automations.
• Homey Pro: Directly connect via the official MOES or Tuya Zigbee app for Homey Pro. Easily create advanced Flows based on motion.
• SmartThings: Seamlessly connects with a SmartThings Hub as a standard Zigbee Motion Sensor to control your smart home routines.
• Tuya / Smart Life: Full support via any Tuya Zigbee Gateway for instant push notifications and smart scenes within the Tuya app.

Pro-Tip from slimhuisje.nl: Connect the MOES Zigbee PIR Motion Sensor ZP01 in Home Assistant to a light automation for the landing. Have the lights turn on at 100% brightness during the day when motion is detected, but after 10 PM, automatically switch to a night mode at 10% brightness to prevent being dazzled!

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need a hub or coordinator for this Zigbee motion detector?

Yes, as this is the Zigbee version, the sensor communicates via the Zigbee 3.0 protocol. You will need a Zigbee gateway (such as a Tuya Zigbee hub) or a universal Zigbee coordinator for Home Assistant.

Are the AAA batteries included in the package?

No, the 2x AAA batteries are not included. You can easily insert standard alkaline or rechargeable AAA batteries to start using the sensor immediately.

How does the 30-second cooldown work on the MOES ZP01 Zigbee?

When the sensor detects motion, it immediately sends a signal to your smart home platform. There is then a fixed recovery time of 30 seconds during which the status remains "motion detected." Only after these 30 seconds can a new motion event be registered. This ensures a clear notification sequence and saves energy.

Does this sensor support local control via ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT in Home Assistant?

Yes, the MOES ZP01 Zigbee is excellently supported by both ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT within Home Assistant. The sensor pairs locally, ensuring that automations work lightning-fast and independently of an internet connection.

What is the advantage of this Zigbee variant compared to a Wi-Fi motion sensor?

Zigbee is specifically designed for smart home sensors and consumes a fraction of the power required by a Wi-Fi chip. This means batteries last significantly longer (up to tens of thousands of detections). Moreover, Zigbee works locally via your own hub, which results in faster response times.
