⚠ Similar names, different products: This page covers the SNZB-06P24 (SenseGuard Presence Core), which SONOFF says uses 24GHz mmWave radar. The SNZB-06P is a different, cheaper sensor with 5.8GHz microwave radar and its own page here.
Compatibility at a glance
Does it work with your platform?
Choose your platform to see its setup and functions. Your choice carries across product pages.
A connection can work while individual controls or automations remain unconfirmed. Read the connection details ↓
Protocols: ZIGBEE · BLUETOOTH[1]
Before you buy
What do you need to make it work?
Yes — SONOFF says 'A Zigbee gateway is needed.' Bluetooth is used only to change advanced settings from the eWeLink app.[1]
Follow the recorded connection below. Equipment details and setup limits explain what else this path needs.

What you gainUse the recorded platform connection.
Keep in mindCheck the function table for supported controls and routines. A connection diagram does not establish every function or remote access.
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.

Zigbee hub
Only through a Matter bridge. SONOFF names its ZBBridge-U, its iHost, or Cube OS with a SONOFF Zigbee dongle, each sold separately. It does not say what Apple Home shows for this sensor.[1]

SONOFF's page for this sensor does not name Google Home. A footnote says some voice features need the sensor added to the eWeLink app through a SONOFF Zigbee gateway and synced by cloud-to-cloud integration, but it names no platform, so the answer is not established either way.[1]

Compatibility is named, but the connection method is not documented here. A working path cannot be drawn yet.
Zigbee hub
SONOFF says you currently need a script to add it to SmartThings, and points to its help center. It does not say what SmartThings can do with it once added.[1]
Follow the documented setup. Read the equipment details and connection limits below.

What you gainReach the device through the documented Home Assistant Zigbee setup.
Keep in mindRead the setup notes for ZHA support. The SNZB-06P24 currently needs a script for ZHA; functions are not inferred from radio compatibility.
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.

Zigbee hub
SONOFF says it joins Home Assistant with a SONOFF Zigbee dongle, but that you currently need a script to add it to ZHA. It does not list what Home Assistant shows for it.[1]
One device can provide more than one role. These are setup requirements, not a shopping list of separate purchases.
What could you do with this?
Put its functions to use.
Start with a documented control or event. The selected connection shows what is confirmed for that platform.

A documented control or event is one part of a setup. It does not by itself establish a complete automation.

? Inconclusive means we researched that ecosystem and the evidence doesn’t settle it — the catch says why, and the sources are listed below. It is a statement about the available evidence, never a verdict on the product. A Setup Check researches your exact setup where the official sources don’t answer.
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-06P24 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⎓0.5A input through a Type-C port and no battery. It says the sensing area is split into seven zones you can switch on or off in the app, and it adds ambient light sensing.
- 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
Getting it into most platforms takes extra steps. SONOFF says you currently need a script to add it to ZHA or SmartThings, and Apple Home needs a separate Matter bridge. Its own page does not name Alexa or Google Home.
Who it's for
Someone with a SONOFF Zigbee gateway or dongle who wants presence sensing that catches people sitting still, with zones they can switch off, and who does not mind a setup script.
