SONOFF SNZB-06P Zigbee Occupancy Sensor

Quick verdict

The SNZB-06P brings mmWave presence detection to the budget tier. Unlike PIR sensors that only catch movement, this detects stationary occupants — great for keeping lights on while you're reading or working. It's not as sophisticated as the Aqara FP2 (no zone configuration), but at this price, it's a fantastic entry point into true presence detection.

Standout: Budget mmWave presence detection over Zigbee — detects people sitting still, not just walking by.

Compatibility snapshot

Why it stands out

• mmWave presence detection — detects stationary occupants, not just motion
• very affordable for a mmWave sensor
• Zigbee mesh routing extends your network

Reasons to hesitate

• requires a Zigbee coordinator
• sensitivity tuning can require trial and error
• detection zone is less configurable than premium options like the Aqara FP2

Best for

• budget presence detection for lights-on-when-occupied automations
• Zigbee Home Assistant setups wanting affordable mmWave sensing

Avoid if

• you need precise zone-based detection — look at the Aqara FP2 instead
• you have no Zigbee coordinator

Privacy and local-control notes

Pure Zigbee sensor with no cloud dependency. Fully local through zigbee2mqtt or ZHA. No camera or audio — mmWave radar only.

Home Assistant support: supported · integration path: zigbee2mqtt / ZHA.

Buying reality check

Price notes: One of the cheapest mmWave presence sensors available. Fraction of the cost of an Aqara FP2.
