Shelly Blu Motion vs YoLink Indoor Motion Sensor RT

The Shelly Blu Motion wins overall on price and its built-in Bluetooth radio. The YoLink Indoor Motion Sensor RT counters with a higher owner rating and considerably wider smart home integrations, so the right pick depends on whether cost or platform reach matters more.

How they connect to the rest of a smart home. The Shelly Blu Motion is Bluetooth-only and needs another Shelly device or a BLU Gateway nearby to bridge it to Wi-Fi. The YoLink Indoor Motion Sensor RT needs its own dedicated YoLink hub over LoRa instead, and from there reaches far more platforms, including Apple Home, Google Home, SmartThings and Matter through its Local Hub.

The Shelly Blu Motion costs less than the YoLink Indoor Motion Sensor RT, though it also reaches fewer smart home platforms out of the box.

Yes, but not the same thing. The Shelly Blu Motion includes a built-in lux (light) sensor. The YoLink Indoor Motion Sensor RT includes a temperature reading instead. Neither one has both.

Anyone already running Shelly hardware (a Plus, Pro or Gen3 device, or a BLU Gateway) who wants the cheapest sensor here and doesn't need Apple Home or Matter support.

Anyone who wants the widest smart home reach, a higher owner rating, and a temperature reading over a light sensor, and doesn't mind paying more for a dedicated LoRa hub.
