You need basic familiarity with Home Assistant: adding the device, then writing automations. It is not a plug-and-play sensor for a general smart home app.

Does it work with Alexa or Google Home?

Not directly. Any voice control would have to come through Home Assistant integrations you set up yourself.

What can I automate with it?

Presence-based rules such as lights, climate or notifications that trigger when someone is in a room. Everything runs locally in Home Assistant.

Is it a motion sensor or a presence sensor?

It is sold as a human presence sensor, aimed at detecting occupancy rather than only movement. Expect to tune its automations in Home Assistant.

Our take on the Akamatis Human Presence Sensor v1.3

The Akamatis Human Presence Sensor v1.3 is a presence detector built to run only inside Home Assistant, the open-source local smart home platform. It reports occupancy to your own Home Assistant instance rather than to a vendor cloud, so automations stay local. It suits tinkerers who already run Home Assistant on a computer and want presence-based lighting or climate rules. Compared with plug-and-play motion sensors, it asks more setup and gives you no app of its own.
