Allterco Bows Wi-Fi Motion Sensor With 1-Year Battery Life

Allterco introduced a motion sensor that uses Silicon Lab’s low-power Wi-Fi IoT technology. The Shelly Motion sensor ($39.90) can remain connected to a Wi-Fi network for more than a year on one charge, said the companies Wednesday. Shelly Motion connects directly to a Wi-Fi router without a dedicated hub and is compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, SmartThings and other third-party home automation platforms, they said.
