2026 verdict
Two budget Zigbee sensors go head to head, and the Aqara Motion Sensor P1 comes out ahead of the Sonoff SNZB-03P ZigBee Motion Sensor on owner rating, battery life, integrations, detection angle and range. It lasts about 5 years on 2x CR2450, spans a wide 170-degree field out to 7m/23ft, and works with Google, Alexa, HomeKit, Home Assistant and Matter, both include a light (lux) sensor. The Sonoff SNZB-03P ZigBee Motion Sensor answers mainly on price, coming in cheaper, and it adds handy extras of its own like history records and a shorter 6m/20ft, 110-degree field, lasting about 3 years on a CR2477. Both are indoor Zigbee sensors that need a hub. Choose the Aqara Motion Sensor P1 for the higher-rated, longer-lasting, wider-reaching sensor with broader ecosystem support; pick the Sonoff SNZB-03P ZigBee Motion Sensor if squeezing out the lowest price is the priority.
