Hive Pet Friendly Motion Sensor
Our Pet Friendly Motion Sensor is smart enough to tell the difference between people and pets. It monitors your home and alerts you when there’s movement – but it won’t be triggered by pets under 36kg.
Use it on its own for peace of mind – or combine it with Hive HomeShield to make your smart alarm system as strong as can be.
FREE standard delivery - 2 to 3 business days
No more false alarms
If you have dogs or cats that roam your home, our Pet Friendly Motion Sensor is perfect. It means they can move around freely without ever setting it off.
Always in the know
The moment any activity is detected, you’ll get a notification on your smartphone, tablet or Apple Watch. Want to keep the whole family in the know? You can get multi-user notifications with Hive HomeShield.
Turn lights on automatically
Connect your sensor with a Hive Light or Plug using Hive Actions. So the moment you – but not your pets – step into your hallway, the bulbs and plugs can turn on automatically.
Travel back in time
Been away for a couple of days? You can see when motion has been detected, going back seven days. Or, subscribe to HomeShield for 30 days of event history.
