🧘 SONOFF SNZB-06P — Zigbee Human Presence Sensor (5.8 GHz Radar, Light Sensor, USB-C)
Knows you’re there — even when you’re sitting perfectly still. The SONOFF SNZB-06P uses 5.8 GHz microwave radar to detect human presence, not just movement. Unlike PIR sensors, the SNZB-06P keeps lights on while you’re reading, working, or watching TV — and only turns them off when you actually leave the room. Includes a built-in light sensor so automations only trigger when it’s dark. Powered via USB-C (always on — no batteries to replace). Works with eWeLink, Alexa, Google Home, and Home Assistant. MPN: SNZB-06P.
Motion or Presence? Choose your detection type:
⚡ Key Features
- 5.8 GHz Microwave Radar — detects human presence through micro-movements like breathing, typing, and page-turning; not just large movements like walking
- True Presence Detection — lights stay on as long as someone is in the room, even if they’re sitting completely still; lights turn off only when the room is truly empty
- ~1 Second Response Time — faster than PIR; lights come on almost instantly when you enter a room
- 4 m Detection Range / 110° Angle — covers a standard room from a ceiling or wall mount position
- Built-In Light Sensor (Lux) — create scenes that only trigger when it’s dark; “If presence detected AND lux < 50 → turn on lights” — saves energy during daytime
- USB-C Powered — always-on, no battery changes; plug into any 5V USB-C adapter or USB port
- Zigbee 3.0 Router — mains-powered so it acts as a Zigbee mesh repeater, strengthening your network
- Local Zigbee Scenes — presence → lights automations work even during an internet outage, as long as your Zigbee hub is powered
- Adjustable Sensitivity — tune detection sensitivity in the eWeLink app to match your room size and reduce false triggers
- Home Assistant — supported in ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT; exposes presence, illuminance, and occupancy entities
🏠 Perfect For
Living Room
Watch TV, read a book, or sit in silence — the radar knows you’re there. Lights stay on while you’re in the room and turn off only when everyone leaves. No more waving at the ceiling.
Home Office
Work at your desk for hours without the lights turning off. PIR sensors time out when you stop moving — the SNZB-06P doesn’t. Pair with aircon control for smart climate too.
Bathroom
Shower, brush teeth, sit on the loo — radar detects you the entire time. Extractor fan and lights stay on while occupied, turn off automatically when you leave.
Meeting Rooms & Conference Areas
Lights and aircon on when the room is occupied, off when empty. No more employees leaving lights on in empty meeting rooms. Reduces energy waste automatically.
