Aeotec Motion Sensor vs Eufy Motion Sensor

The Aeotec Motion Sensor wins overall. It carries a higher owner rating, works across more platforms (SmartThings, Hubitat, Home Assistant and Alexa), and detects across a wider 120-degree angle with a bundled temperature sensor. The Eufy Motion Sensor is the more affordable option with a longer rated range, but it only works within eufy plus Home Assistant.

Ecosystem openness. The Aeotec Motion Sensor is a Zigbee device that joins SmartThings, Hubitat, Home Assistant and Alexa, while the Eufy Motion Sensor requires a eufy HomeBase and works only within eufy (plus Home Assistant), with no Alexa, Google or HomeKit.

On paper the Eufy Motion Sensor reaches farther, rated at 9m/30ft versus the Aeotec Motion Sensor's 4.5m/15ft, though eufy owners note real-world range is shorter than the spec. The Aeotec sensor covers a wider 120-degree angle.

Yes, both do. The Aeotec Motion Sensor needs a Zigbee hub such as SmartThings, Hubitat or a Home Assistant dongle, and the Eufy Motion Sensor needs a eufy HomeBase to work at all.

Buy the Aeotec Motion Sensor if you want the higher-rated, more flexible option that works across SmartThings, Hubitat, Home Assistant and Alexa and includes a temperature sensor.

Buy the Eufy Motion Sensor if you already own a eufy HomeBase and want an affordable sensor with longer rated range and adjustable sensitivity to trigger eufy cameras and simple automations.
