Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better overall: Apollo MSR-2 or Moes Human Presence Sensor?
Moes Human Presence Sensor wins on platform reach, adding Alexa and Google Home support alongside Home Assistant. Apollo MSR-2 counters with a lower price and a hub-free direct Wi-Fi connection, but stays limited to Home Assistant only.
What is the biggest difference between Apollo MSR-2 and Moes Human Presence Sensor?
How they connect and how many platforms they reach. The Apollo MSR-2 joins Wi-Fi directly with no hub, but works with Home Assistant only. The Moes is a Zigbee device that needs a hub, but in exchange reaches Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant.
Which is cheaper?
The Apollo MSR-2, sold directly through Apollo Automation. The Moes Human Presence Sensor costs more but adds a two-year warranty and broader platform support.
Do both include a light sensor?
Yes. Both the Apollo MSR-2 and the Moes Human Presence Sensor pair presence detection with a built-in light sensor, and neither offers multi-person detection or fall alerts.
Who should buy Apollo MSR-2?
Choose Apollo MSR-2 if you run Home Assistant exclusively and prefer a direct Wi-Fi connection with no Zigbee hub, and the lower price matters more than reaching Alexa or Google Home.
Who should buy Moes Human Presence Sensor?
Choose Moes Human Presence Sensor if you want Alexa or Google Home support alongside Home Assistant, plus the reassurance of a two-year warranty, and do not mind running it through a Zigbee hub.
