There are many smart devices under Samsung’s SmartThings ecosystem, like connected doorbells and locks<\/a>. It even has a Find feature<\/a> that can help you locate a misplaced Galaxy device. With SmartThings, you can use a motion sensor to keep watch over areas of your home, allowing you to receive alerts, sound an alarm, unlock a door, or even just turn on a light. Not all Samsung SmartThings motion sensors are created equal, however. So we compiled a list that leaves out the headaches like our favorite option, the Ecolink Z-Wave Plus Motion Detector, so you can monitor your home no matter where you are.<\/p>\n Staff Pick<\/p>\n This great detector from Ecolink offers a five-year battery life (the best of the bunch) and flush or corner mount options. It can be set to ignore pets up to 55 pounds and is the best option of quality and price.<\/p>\n $39 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n Centralite’s tiny offering is one of the cheapest on our list. With motion detection of up to 15 feet and 2-year battery life, this sensor will monitor nearly any area of your home. It’s also about the size of an apple, so you can easily place it anywhere.<\/p>\n $25 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n This sensor is more expensive than the others because it combines a motion sensor with a light controlled by touch, voice, or remotely using the app. It senses motion and can automatically turn the lights on or off when you enter or exit a room or set lights to a schedule that follows sunrise and sunset.<\/p>\n $299 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n You can control this in-wall sensor by GE from anywhere in your home, right from your phone or PC. It covers a 180-degree view range and can be placed up to 45 feet away from your SmartThings hub. There’s a simple on\/off switch to control it manually.<\/p>\n $45 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n Many options on this list are meant for indoor use, but this versatile motion sensor is made for the great outdoors (well, at least for outside of the home). It can detect motion up to 30 feet away and can be powered by battery or USB. Note that you’ll need a hub to connect it with SmartThings.<\/p>\n $61 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n This feature-packed option from Aeotec offers not only motion detection, but also temperature, humidity, light, UV, and vibration. So don’t use six separate hardware devices when the Multisensor 6 has them all.<\/p>\n $61 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n When monitoring your home for motion, you don’t want to skimp on a cheap device. So any money you spend on Samsung SmartThings motion sensors will be money well spent \u2014 no matter if you’re just turning on your lights or if you’re keeping a watchful eye over things when you’re not at home. Just add some new devices<\/a>, and you’ll be good to go. For that, the Ecolink Z-wave Plus Motion Detector is our pick for long-lasting motion detection.<\/p>\n Of course, it never hurts to go with mobile options like the Centralite Micro Motion Sensor that falls on the smaller side of things or an in-wall option like the GE Z-Wave Plus Wireless Smart Sensor.<\/p>\n Whichever option you go with, you can feel good knowing that it will work with one of the most powerful smart home platforms in the world!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n There are many smart devices under Samsung’s SmartThings ecosystem, like connected doorbells and locks.
