Hello Yeelight,
Are there any plans to produce a motion sensor with wifi access?
This type of device would be a great way to activate lights etc based on your movements around the home.
cheers

I don’t think we will produce motion sensor soon. But there are a motion sensor manufacturer that i know has done the things you mentioned. http://www.lumiunited.com
Further to this request for a new device, a single unit combining a motion sensor, wifi and bluetooth would have limitless uses with existing Yeelight devices.
Other motion detectors exist but they can only power a device on or off. A Yeelight specific device would send the necessary signal via BT or wifi to Yeelight lamps to set a scene or group scene.
eg:-
- bluetooth to wifi gateway to enable the yeelight bluetooth bedside lamp to be controlled via wifi
- motion activated triggering of yeelight lamps on a room by room basis.
- IFTT integration for bluetooth bedside lamps.
Please do consider this. It will open up a world of possibilities.
Regards,
Roger
I’d like the wall wi-fi light switch which would have open API as Yeelights 
Roger71:
why the Xiaomi Gateway is not a solution for you?
I don’t know, seems simpler to communicate with the same API; What would I need on case of Xiaomi Gateway?
With the Xiaomi Gateway you can add Body Sensor device (basically each device will connect on the Xiaomi Gateway instead of the router). I have this devices actually and it work fine (except some delay sometime but I’m trying to figure out if is a regional-delay problem or something else).
I don’t think that a Motion Sensor with WiFi access has too much sense at this point.
Even more because Xiaomi Body Sensor has very low-power-consumption actually, and a WiFi version will be more power consumption.
