Elgato Eve Motion
Best wireless motion sensor for dedicated Apple HomeKit smart home users.
This is the simplest way to make your home feel truly responsive without the clutter of extra hubs or bridges. By relying on direct Bluetooth connectivity, it offers a streamlined setup that works anywhere, though you sacrifice the extended range and multi-device capacity that dedicated smart home gateways typically provide.
