Apollo MSR-2 vs GoveeLife Smart Presence Sensor

GoveeLife Smart Presence Sensor wins on platform reach, joining Wi-Fi directly and adding Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT support. Apollo MSR-2 counters with a lower price and a built-in light sensor the GoveeLife does not have.

Sensors versus platforms. The Apollo MSR-2 pairs its LD2410 radar module with a light sensor the GoveeLife lacks. The GoveeLife Smart Presence Sensor skips the light sensor but reaches more platforms: Alexa, Google Home, Home Assistant and IFTTT, versus the Apollo's Home Assistant-only support.

Only the Apollo MSR-2. The GoveeLife Smart Presence Sensor has no built-in light sensor, so it detects presence alone without brightness-aware automations.

No. The Apollo MSR-2 is sold directly from Apollo Automation and has no public rating history yet. The GoveeLife Smart Presence Sensor is sold through Amazon with an established owner rating.

Choose Apollo MSR-2 if you run Home Assistant exclusively, want the cheaper option, and value a built-in light sensor alongside its radar-based presence detection.

Choose GoveeLife Smart Presence Sensor if you want Alexa, Google Home or IFTTT support alongside Home Assistant, with a straightforward hub-free Wi-Fi setup.
