It senses with radar instead of passive infrared, adds an auxiliary temperature reading, and works with Alexa and Home Assistant directly, then Apple Home, Google Home, SmartThings and Matter through the separately sold YoLink Local Hub, where the Eufy Motion Sensor is closed off to everything but Home Assistant. The Eufy Motion Sensor answers with a lower price and a simpler setup, it pairs to a eufy HomeBase you likely already own rather than a dedicated new hub, and the two sensors rate about the same with owners. Both run about two years on their batteries and both are built for indoor rooms only. Anyone already on eufy Security who does not need Alexa or a wider smart home should keep the Eufy Motion Sensor; anyone building on Alexa, Home Assistant or a Matter-connected setup gets more reach from the YoLink Indoor Motion Sensor RT.

What the differences mean

Sensing technology

The Eufy Motion Sensor is a passive infrared sensor, reading a heat signature moving across its field of view. The YoLink Indoor Motion Sensor RT uses microwave radar instead, which responds to movement itself and can behave differently around glass or thin walls.

Where it plugs in

The Eufy Motion Sensor needs a eufy HomeBase to do anything at all, a device most eufy Security owners already have. The YoLink Indoor Motion Sensor RT needs its own dedicated YoLink hub, communicating over long-range LoRa rather than Wi-Fi.

A temperature reading alongside motion

The YoLink Indoor Motion Sensor RT's app shows an auxiliary temperature value the Eufy Motion Sensor does not measure at all.

Reaching the wider smart home

The Eufy Motion Sensor is closed off to everything except eufy's own app and Home Assistant, no Alexa, Google Home, HomeKit or Matter. The YoLink Indoor Motion Sensor RT reaches Alexa and Home Assistant directly, and Apple Home, Google Home, SmartThings and Matter through its Local Hub.

What owners say

Eufy Motion Sensor owners describe an easy, forgettable sensor: it pairs to a eufy HomeBase in minutes, sticks with the included screws or adhesive, and lasts close to two years on a battery, with one owner reporting two years even mounted outdoors under an eave. They use it for practical triggers, a mailbox alert, or extending a camera's own recording, and call detection reliable within its stated range. The complaints are consistent too: real-world range falls short of the advertised 30ft/9m, closer to 10-15ft in practice, small animals can set it off outdoors despite the sensor being indoor-rated, and owners are disappointed that it reaches nothing beyond eufy's own app and Home Assistant, no Alexa, Google Home, HomeKit or Matter.
