Documentation could be better

The sensor works fine but the included paper had no wiring diagram. Had to look online. Otherwise functional.

Reliable motion detection

Using this for a simple hallway light automation. Haven't had any missed detections yet. Very reliable for the price.

Good sensor, sensitive to heat

Great module overall. Just note that it detects heat changes, so direct sunlight can trigger false alarms.
