They are also 75 dollars cad each I can't justify that price
I just saw you put CAD. The most I’ve paid for them was $39 here in the US. I bought a few outdoor ones on clearance for $25 each.
They are cheaper at the Home Depot (at 54.99 CAD) than on Amazon.ca, but that’s still a high price… Would be nice to live in the US sometimes to get their better prices…

Agreed
Yup, sucks to be us.
You can sometimes (rarely) find the Hue indoors on sale for as little as $35ish ($15!! once) and the outdoors for $45ish. It's been a while...
You can also subscribe to the Canada section to get a notification if someone finds/posts any deals.

Thank you I'll do just that
I just checked and the interval from active to inactive is 35 seconds. There are no adjustments for this interval.
That is actually pretty quick
My NYCE ones are fantastic
I've always had good luck with Third Reality sensors. The motion sensors I mount with Command strips.
I have a new love for Third Reality Motion Sensors they are just as quick as Aqara and more reliable.
Need them to go on sale!
THREE AAA batteries? Must be kind of large? And with 3, how is the battery life still relatively short?
It still quite small. It is nice to be able to replace it with easy to find/buy batteries. There are smaller options if the size is an issue. Also 3 AAA batteries last a long time; that matters.
I agree but their own page says 8-12 months? Which is shorter than MOST it seems…
Well, that's longer than the SmartThings 2015 motion sensor on a CR2032 battery; I used to regularly get about 5 months...until it just stopped working.
But my Iris v2 motion sensors get almost 2 years on a single CR2 battery. They are my favorite and I'm so sad they are no longer available.
Iris v2 FTW...so sad they aren't made any more.
But...you can get lucky once in a while and find v2 or (more likely) v3 on eBay. Just have to be very patient, persistent, and lucky. I have never found anything that matches them, personally.
I got lucky 2 years ago and bought 20 new ones for $5 each... I have spare stock NIB, and about 40 of them total.
Better keep your address top secret.
