📘 Setup / Configuration Guide: Setting up the Sonoff Zigbee Human Presence Sensor
Overview
The SONOFF SNZB-06P is a Zigbee 3.0 human presence sensor using 5.8 GHz microwave radar to detect both moving and stationary people.
It is designed for reliable presence-based lighting and automation where PIR motion sensors fail, such as bathrooms, offices, and living rooms.
Key Features
• 5.8 GHz radar presence detection (moving + stationary targets)
• Detects micro-movements (e.g. breathing, small gestures)
• Presence range up to 4 m with wide field of view
• Built-in ambient light sensor for light-aware automations
• Acts as a Zigbee router to strengthen mesh networks
• Local Zigbee scenes continue to work if the internet is down
• Compatible with: NSPanel Pro, iHost, ZB Bridge Pro, ZBDongle-E, Echo Plus, Home Assistant (ZHA / Zigbee2MQTT), SmartThings
• Adjustable sensitivity and detection timeout (platform-dependent)
• Flexible mounting: wall, ceiling, corner, or flat surface

Installation Notes
Mount at 1–2 m height on a wall, ceiling, or corner bracket.
Avoid direct airflow from fans/AC, moving curtains, reflective metal surfaces, and high pet traffic to reduce false triggers.
Requires a Zigbee hub (e.g. SONOFF ZBDongle-E/P, NSPanel Pro, iHost, ZB Bridge Pro, Echo Plus, or Home Assistant with Zigbee coordinator).
Pair via your Zigbee platform, then adjust sensitivity and timeout in the hub UI where supported.
