The FIRST Wireless mmWave Motion Sensor – But There’s a Catch…
🚨 The FIRST wireless mmWave motion sensor is here! But before you rush to add it to your smart home… there’s something you need to know.
In this video, I review the Third Reality Motion Sensor R1, a battery-powered, Zigbee-based, mmWave motion sensor that claims to be faster and smarter than traditional PIR sensors — and it even works with Apple Home, Home Assistant, Homey Pro, and more via Matter (with the right setup).
I’ll break down:
✅ What makes this sensor so exciting
✅ The real-world performance you can expect
✅ Where it absolutely shines
❌ And where it falls short — especially if you’re expecting true presence detection
💡 Whether you’re building out automations with HomeKit, or just want reliable motion triggers that don’t need to be plugged in, this might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for… or not.
