Overview

The SONOFF SNZB-06P24 suits rooms where an ordinary PIR sensor turns the lights off while someone is still seated at a desk or on a sofa. It uses 24GHz radar to detect faint body movement and breathing, so someone keeping very still is still recognised as present.

Fit it to a wall, desk or ceiling at around 1 to 2 metres in height. It is a good match for lounges, studies, bathrooms and passages.

Before you install

  • A Zigbee hub or coordinator is needed. There is no Wi-Fi radio and no battery.
  • Power comes from USB-C, and the adaptor is not supplied in the box.
  • Fall detection is not something this unit does, and a motionless or sleeping person is picked up less reliably.
