Aqara Motion Sensor P1 vs GoveeLife Smart Wireless Motion Sensor comparison

Updated August 2026

Data from Amazon and official Aqara and Govee sites.

2026 verdict

The Aqara Motion Sensor P1 is the better overall motion sensor over the GoveeLife Smart Wireless Motion Sensor, leading on owner rating, battery life, integrations and sensor count. It lasts about 5 years on 2x CR2450 (versus roughly 4 months for the Govee unit), adds a light (lux) sensor, and works with Google, Alexa, HomeKit, Home Assistant and Matter, while the Govee sensor is limited to the Govee app plus Home Assistant and IFTTT and needs a Govee gateway. The GoveeLife Smart Wireless Motion Sensor holds two edges, a lower price and a slightly longer rated range at 8m/26ft (versus 7m/23ft), which makes it a cheap, tiny auto-on trigger for Govee lights. Both are indoor sensors. Pick the Aqara Motion Sensor P1 for the far longer battery life and much wider platform support; choose the GoveeLife Smart Wireless Motion Sensor only if you run Govee lighting and want the cheapest possible trigger.
