Why Smart Sensors Matter
Smart sensors are the backbone of any automated home. They detect changes in motion, temperature, doors/windows, water leaks, and more — allowing your Tuya smart home to respond intelligently without manual input.
1. Moes PIR Motion Sensor
Ideal for triggering lights or alerts when someone enters a room. Battery-powered and Zigbee-based for fast, reliable response.
2. Aqara Door & Window Sensor
Detects when doors or windows open. Perfect for security and energy-saving automations (e.g., turn off heating when window opens).
3. Tuya Smart Temperature & Humidity Sensor
Monitors environmental conditions and triggers automation. For example, turn on humidifier if humidity drops below 40%.
4. Neo Coolcam Water Leak Sensor
Place it under sinks or washing machines. Sends alerts if it detects moisture — a critical tool for avoiding water damage.
5. Centralite Motion & Temperature Combo Sensor
Combines motion and environmental detection in one compact unit. Zigbee-powered and works great in multipurpose rooms.
6. Tuya Gas Leak Detector
Designed for kitchens and utility rooms. Alerts your phone and can trigger automations like cutting power to an outlet if gas is detected.
7. Smart Vibration Sensor (Door Knock / Tamper)
Detects sudden vibrations — useful for monitoring windows, doors, or safes. Triggers alerts or activates cameras automatically.
Choosing the Right Sensors
- ✅ Use Zigbee sensors with a hub for better battery life and speed
- ✅ For small setups, Wi-Fi sensors are easier to deploy
- ✅ Pair sensors with Tuya routines for powerful automation
