It works with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, adds a light sensor for dark-only automations, covers 170 degrees against 100 and is rated for about 5 years on its batteries against 2. The Eufy Motion Sensor reaches further, rated to 9 m against 7 m, and fits neatly into a eufy Security system, where it arms with Home, Away and Disarmed modes and can trigger eufy cameras; outside of that it only reaches Home Assistant, and it needs a eufy HomeBase to work at all. Choose the Aqara Motion Sensor P1 for lighting and automations across platforms, and the Eufy Motion Sensor if you are extending a eufy HomeBase security setup.

What the differences mean

Platforms

The Aqara Motion Sensor P1 works with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, with SmartThings and Matter through an Aqara hub. The Eufy Motion Sensor works inside the eufy Security app and with Home Assistant only, so it cannot trigger an Alexa or Google Home routine.

Hub

Both need a hub: the Aqara Motion Sensor P1 a Zigbee hub, which can be an Aqara hub or a generic coordinator, and the Eufy Motion Sensor a eufy HomeBase, which it uses to reach Wi-Fi. If you own neither, the hub is part of the cost.

Light sensor

Only the Aqara Motion Sensor P1 measures light, which lets an automation switch lamps on only after dark. The Eufy Motion Sensor detects motion and nothing else.

Coverage

The Aqara Motion Sensor P1 covers 170 degrees to 7 m and the Eufy Motion Sensor 100 degrees to 9 m. The Aqara sees more of a room from a corner; the Eufy reaches further down a hallway.

Battery life

The Aqara Motion Sensor P1 is rated for about 5 years on two CR2450 coin cells, the Eufy Motion Sensor for about 2 years.

What owners say

Owners of both sensors report the same letdown: the real detection distance falls short of what the box promises, so placement matters with either one. Beyond that they describe different jobs. Aqara Motion Sensor P1 owners value fast triggering for lights, the small body, the light sensor and pairing with a generic Zigbee coordinator in Home Assistant, and they complain that slow movement slips past it, that its timer does not restart while someone stays in the room and that changing the battery means prying the case open. Eufy Motion Sensor owners praise pairing to the HomeBase in minutes, long battery life and uses like a mailbox alert or triggering a camera, while their complaints are that it only works with a HomeBase, has no siren of its own, can be set off by small animals outdoors and has no Alexa or Google Home support.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
