frient Motion Sensor Pro

Quick verdict

A solid multi-sensor from a Danish brand that does Zigbee right. Motion, light, and temperature in one compact package with zero cloud dependency. It costs more than a bare-bones motion sensor, but you get three sensors for the price of one and strong Home Assistant support through ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT. A reliable pick for EU-based smart home builders.

Standout: Combines motion, light level, and temperature sensing in one compact Zigbee device.
