This upgraded Matter-over-Thread presence sensor combines radar, infrared, and ambient light detection to deliver highly accurate motion and presence sensing without relying on Wi-Fi or a proprietary hub.
The MS605 uses a Nordic Thread chipset and merges millimetre-wave radar with infrared detection to recognize both subtle human presence and typical motion. A built-in light sensor reports real-time brightness changes to Matter platforms, enabling more responsive automations. The foldable, fully rotatable stand supports ceiling, wall, or corner placement, while the IP67 waterproof housing and 3-year CR123A battery allow it to function reliably in areas ranging from humid bathrooms to cold basements and hot attics. It detects motion up to 6 m and precise presence within 4 m, making it suitable for anything from bedrooms to studies.
Through Matter over Thread, it connects directly to Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, and Home Assistant, offering low-latency, local-only control. In the Meross app, the sensing area can be divided into three customizable zones that appear as separate sensors in third-party platforms, allowing layered automations such as lighting sequences or presence-based scene changes.

Mar 30, 2026What is mmWave and how does it make your home smarter?
mmWave presence sensors use radar instead of old-school motion detection, letting your smart home know when someone is actually still in the room, not just when they wander past it. Here’s how mmWave works, where it shines, and why it’s one of the best upgrades for smarter lighting and automation.
