I'd watch those reviews. I had a quick read before and it seems Amazon may have pooled them with the door/window sensor.

sorry wrong link but same price for the motion sensor
Pros:
1. Very slim and portable
2. Easy to place due to its slim profile
3. Useful as it tells you when it has been activated via the app (the app is horrendous however)
Cons:
1. Poor build quality, the back cover which gives you direct access to the circuit board comes of very easily.
2. If you intend to use it with lights then be prepared for a very frustrating set up process. I wanted it to simply activate the lights between the hours of 4pm-7:30am and not activate during hours outside of this. If activated I wanted the light to stay on for 30 seconds. It is completely erratic and will turn on and off as expected or stay on indefinitely. After three days I still can't get it to work the way I want and I'm very close to taking out the whole Hive system and just extending my Hue lights and Hue Sensor to replace the hallway lights where the Hive lights currently are.
FYI: British Gas customers can get a free Hive Hub and 2 lights by logging into their account and clicking rewards.
If you're new to this and have a choice, DO NOT go with Hive, for the love of Zeus.
What you've described is exactly why I wanted this. It doesn't sound great!
I set timings in the app for my heating, saved them and the app changed it all to random times. Not great!!
Hi, my Hue motion sensor and lights have been excellent and have been working perfectly for several weeks now. The app is also much better and there are far more options on the motion sensor (only activate when light drops to a certain level, control sensitivity of the motion sensor vs body heat).
Honestly, do yourself a favour and go with Hue!
I've had this installed for a couple of days now and so far it's done exactly as I've wanted it too.
I have found that within the app you have to set 'off' time as well as 'on' time otherwise it sends the timings up the wall!
I did all that and even called Hive to confirm I had done everything correctly. They did the typical diagnostic and said that the hive system and especially the issues I was experiencing with were commonplace and couldn't suggest anything else.
In the end they organised a return I purchased another Hue motion sensor to go along with the one I already have that's been working perfectly.
