In this video, I review the Meross MS605 Presence Sensor, Meross’ first Matter over Thread device and one of the most affordable battery-powered presence sensors available right now.
I’ve been using the Meross MS605 Presence Sensor for around six weeks, including real-world testing in my bathroom to control lighting and extractor fan automations. In this review, I cover battery life, mmWave presence detection, configurable zones, Matter over Thread performance, and how it integrates with Apple Home, Aqara, Alexa, Google Home, and SmartThings.
The Meross MS605 Presence Sensor runs on a single CR123A battery, claims up to three years of battery life, and requires no proprietary hub beyond an existing Thread border router. It also supports multiple detection zones, an integrated light sensor, IP67 waterproofing, and flexible mounting options for walls, ceilings, and corners.
If you’re looking to add reliable presence-based automations to your smart home without running power cables, the Meross MS605 Presence Sensor is a compelling option, especially at its price point.
