Protocols: ZIGBEE[1]
Before you buy
What do you need to make it work?
Yes — a Zigbee hub. SONOFF lists Zigbee 3.0 hubs it works with, including its own NSPanel Pro, iHost, ZB Bridge Pro and ZBDongle-E, and the Echo Plus 2nd Gen.[1]
Follow the recorded connection below. Equipment details and setup limits explain what else this path needs.

How to read the equipment roles
This shows the connection route, not every network cable or a shopping list. One device may provide several roles, including a Matter controller and a Thread border router. Only a Thread connection needs the Thread role. Read the equipment cards for all recorded requirements.

Which features come through?
Check the function table and setup notes for this route. An alternative connection does not inherit every capability of the recorded primary connection. A Thread border router, a Matter controller and a platform home hub are different roles; suitable hardware may provide more than one.

Plans and ongoing costs[1]
? Works without a subscription: Not established — no source we accept has addressed fees for this product in either direction.
Vendor account required: Not established — we have not sourced this yet.
SONOFF's SNZB-06P page, read 2026-10-09, names no plan, fee or subscription for the sensor, and says nothing about whether any feature needs one, so this is not established either way.
Maintenance and offline use
- Works without the internet: Not established — we have not sourced this yet. It does not mean the product fails without the internet.
- SONOFF lists a 5V⎓1A input and no battery. It also lists the sensor as a Zigbee router, so it can relay signals for other Zigbee devices.
- Security updates: No security-update support date is on record for this model yet. We haven't yet checked whether SONOFF publishes one, so this is a gap in our research — not a statement about the manufacturer.
The catch
It needs a Zigbee hub, and its 5.8GHz radar picks up more than people. SONOFF warns it 'will also detect other moving objects like pets, curtains, Roombas, and running fans', and says some hubs show it only as a basic motion sensor.
Who it's for
Someone who already runs a Zigbee hub, such as Home Assistant with a Zigbee coordinator or a SONOFF hub, and wants low-cost presence detection in a room without pets or fans in view.
