Motion detector with brightness sensor - outdoor

Detect movement at your front door with the smart motion detector, and use it to also connect various functions in your smart home.

Movement outside? It's detected!

Do you sometimes feel uneasy at home when it gets dark? Do you want to be able to open the door safely and quickly when you get home late? If so then it's worth getting the weatherproof Homematic IP motion detector. It reliably monitors the outside of your home. If it detects movement - including your own - it switches on the light and also triggers an alarm if you want it to.

Powerful, whether it’s light or dark

Besides switching on your light when it's dark, the integrated brightness sensor will do the same at dusk or on cloudy days if you want it to.

Reliable and fail-safe

An alarm can be triggered even if the internet connection is inactive, as the devices communicate directly with each other.

If, for example, a burglar were to destroy an access point, the other devices would continue to be active.

Homematic IP: Smart living. Simply exciting.

Homematic IP means modern, flexible and secure technology from the European market leader*. Let the advantages of our system win you over, and start living smarter straight away. 

With some smart home providers, you have to make a choice: Do you have everything wired, or do you go fully wireless? Some systems are also hermetically sealed and do not accept devices from other manufacturers. Here at Homematic IP, we have a different approach. We are guided by you!

The Homematic IP app

Configure all the settings for your smart home in the Homematic IP app, and use it to control, regulate and monitor your devices whenever you want – without providing any personal data!
A smart home system is particularly robust, interference-proof and reliable when the devices communicate with each other via wired connections. And data transmission is very fast with cables, too. That all comes together with Homematic IP Wired.
