IKEA MYGGSPRAY Wireless Motion Sensor

Quick verdict

The MYGGSPRAY is IKEA's budget Matter over Thread motion sensor. It is basic PIR, not presence detection, but at this price it is hard to beat for motion-activated lighting in a Thread-based Home Assistant setup. You will need a Thread border router.

Standout: One of the cheapest Matter over Thread motion sensors, with no hub requirement.
