Whenever someone enters and roams around in your house without a-your knowledge or permission, you will get to know them instantly through the alerts sent by the Aeotec motion sensor.

3. Energy saving

Without the presence of motion sensors, you may leave the lights around your home on. You may think that it will provide safety as the burglars won’t try to get in when the lights are on. However, it can be more energy-consuming. On the other hand, using the Aeotec motion sensor means that you won’t have to keep the lights on all the time. You will be able to get motion alerts even when your lights are off. Hence, these sensors are more secure, safe, and convenient.

4. Enhanced Security

The Aeotec motion sensors enable you to enhance the security levels at your home. It detects motion through changes in temperature and light in your home. Suppose you are out of your home and want to ensure that no one enters your home in your absence.
