Original Xiaomi RTCGQ11LM Smart Home Aqara Human Motion Sensor

Conforme à la présentation, aucune surprise. Très belle finition, la marque est fidèle à elle-même sur ce point. Très simple d'utilisation, la synchronisé se fait très facilement comme pour tous les produits de la marque. Le temps de réponse est de 0,5 sec (ex : passage devant capteur qui allume une Yeelight) donc cela reste correct mais je sais qu'il y en a que ça dérange.
Sa taille est petite j'ai été surpris et du coup plutôt discret, je ne me sert pas du pieds car j'ai pu posé directement ceux que j'ai acheté.
Je recommande ce produit sans hésiter !

We have bought the product at the end of the last year, at the very end. But why review the product so late?
Good things are also good when you do not realize them anymore in your everyday life, unless you use them actively. They are inconspicuous, but this can only show after a decent period.
So, how does it look like with this product?
The Shipment happened as described. Every time it was comprehensible and for us as well. The unboxing was quickly done, because it arrived in good condition and our interest in its functionality aroused.
A brief check of the quality. Everything is neatly processed. No cheap materials or any weaknesses in its production. The prefabricated parts were cleanly enclosed and packed. The apprenticeship to the gateway was so easy, that even our little daughter said: “Just do it”. The integration to the XIAOMI-world functioned over the menus of the app in an elegant, intuitive way. After the functionality was established, the usage was very easy. Thanks to the scenarios, []. Afterwards the actual scenario for our everyday life was quickly arranged, thanks to the application.
Now to our experience in our everyday life. Everything worked as it should, but the best thing is that you can fully rely on the functionality of this product and the gateway. Additionally, the product is unobtrusive. If you compared it to other products (Picture), it is inconspicuous, but does exactly what you want it to do.
Our Conclusion is that this product is recommendable, especially when it comes to the price-performance value.

Suggestion

It would be much more usefull if the stand could be bend in every direction.

Motion sensorWorks very well. pairing with the gateway was quick. The sensor is very small and discreet compared to other brands. It also comes with a holder /stand so positioning and making adjustments is easy.Once motion is detected, you have to wait for 1 minute for it register again in its default mode. If you want to change it to register more frequently, you should click the reset button and quickly release it , then the motion sensor changes its mode to respond every 5 seconds. If the motion is not detected for an hour it goes back to normal mode and registers motion every 1 minute. Probably to extend battery life.Aqara motion sensor also has a lux sensor which is missing in MI version, so it can display the surrounding brightness at the time when the motion occurred. The motion sensor log, in the mi home app displays time of motion along with lux reading below.Because of the lux sensor there is there is 1 extra extra condition in automation rules when compared to mi motion sensor. ie. ‘when there is motion’ and ‘brightness is low ‘ ‘then turn on ‘ light or something else. But there is no option to select at what brightness / luxUnlike MI motion sensor, Aqara sensor doesn’t need a pin to access the reset button. It’s big and almost near the surface so can use any object around one even finger nails to press. You don’t have to always have pin around, which makes it easier especially when you want to change modes often from 1 minute to detect to every 5 seconds

Una vez tienes configurado el HUB (Gateway) de Aqara puedes ir incluyendo distintos componentes o dispositivos.
En concreto este pequeño sensor de movimiento lo puedes colocar en cualquier zona de paso o frente a puertas para que, bien te vaya dejando un registro o avisos de movimiento, o bien te sirva para activar otras acciones: encender luces, saltar alarmas, etc.
Te viene por separado la "cabeza" o sensor, y la base que permite colocarlo en cualquier lugar. Yo en mi caso no he necesitado la base, dado que la propia cabeza del sensor viene con una pegatina y la he colocado en un lugar que no era necesario disponer del ángulo que permite la base.
Por ahora la tengo solo para que vaya guardando un registro de movimiento frente a una puerta, pero inicialmente la pedí para que activara las luces de la cochera (aunque en este sentido también te sirven los detectores de puertas, de apertura y cierre, que también tiene Aqara).
Muy sencilla la configuración, y dado que todo lo de Aqara es compatible con Homekit (Apple) y Mi Home (Xiami), puedes acceder a los registros desde las distintas aplicaciones (Home, Mi Home, Aqara, etc.)

Used this sensor along with Xiaomi Multi Function Gateway and Yeelight in Thailand using China Mainland server (didn't try any other servers since I already have Yeelights set up with same server.

Set sensor set up to trigger my bedroom Yeelight to turn on when it detects my motion walking to the toilet late at night. Can also set Multi Function Gateway to turn on Nightlight on the gateway which is bright enough to see.

One issue with the Multi Function Gateway is that the connectivity is not very stable with other trigger devices like door/window sensors located in the other floors of my house connected via mesh wifi network. I had to reset my door sensor a couple of times already due to drop connectivity when I moved the Multi Function Gateway to the other floor.

Maybe I'll need another Multi Function Gateway to maintain connectivity for each floor.

Still great value for money. I trust Xiaomi build quality.

Der Bewegungssensor ist sehr klein und qualitativ hochwertig verarbeitet. Er kann Bewegungen und Helligkeitsunterschiede wahrnehmen. In Kombination mit dem Gateway kann er so als Sensor für eine Alarmanlage oder aber als Sensor für die Lichtsteuerung genutzt werden. Der kleine Bewegungssensor kann zudem auf ein Stativ aufgeklebt werden, wodurch sein Bewegungsradios verstellt werden kann.
Die Einstellungen des Sensors können nur erraten werden, da sie auf chinesisch in der App hinterlegt sind. Darüber hinaus können die Reaktionsschnelligkeit für erkannte Bewegungen sowie der Sensorbereich nicht in der App eingestellt werden. Das bedeutet, auch kleine Tiere können hier einen Fehlalarm auslösen.
