The device can be either mounted on a wall, and you can place it on a desk, or anywhere else.
There are 1-button and 2 button switches. Several functions apply to each button. Simultaneous use of the 2 buttons in the 2-button model draws 3 more functions. Different pressing frequency also allows switching between the functions.

No Smart Home is possible without motion detectors. These small boxes make your life much more comfortable. You can install Aqara Motion Detector anywhere: under a desktop, on a wall, on the ceiling, and customize them to your needs.
