Hi, i am looking to see if there are any motion sensors that work with Kasa bulbs so i can have my lights turn on automatically when motion is detected. I believe some Kasa cameras have motion detection which can work for this scenario, but i was hoping to use a motion sensor instead of a camera.

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

@genesis77 Good day, 

We do not sell sensors which can work with bulb directly, but you may have a look on the seniors which supports IFTTT in the market.

As Kasa devices supports IFTTT feature, and it works as an action. As sensor and bulb working together haven't been tested , for the performance, its recommended to test within the return window.

@genesis77 i use an Echo Flex along with the available motion sensor to trigger the lights in my garage when we pull the car in.  It works quite well.

 Hi, thank you so much for your messages so far. 

 

@jlboggsCO am i correct in guessing that you use the IFTTT app to sync the kasa bulbs and Echo flex and its motion sensor together?
