Product description

This Philips Hue Motion Sensor 4-pack switches on your Philips Hue lights when you walk past the sensor. Via the app, you can connect the sensor to the Hue bridge. You don't need a socket, because the sensor works on 2 AAA batteries. Put it on a shelve or table, or mount it to the wall with the included screw. The light automatically switches on when you walk past the sensor. That's useful for a bathroom, basement, or garage, for example. The light also automatically switches off again when the sensor no longer detects motion.

Great sensor

• Easy installation
• Wireless
• Compatible with Apple Homekit

Since the software update of the Hue Bridge a few weeks ago, my review of 14/02/2022 is no longer correct. 10 time windows can now be set instead of just day and night. Also just to mention that after a year and a half I still haven't had to replace a battery.

Apparently, after so many years, Philips still believes that you only need a sensor to switch either during the day or at night. For example, if you only want to switch your lamp with the sensor in the evening and in the morning and not during the day and at night, then you are in for the effort because then you have to be able to set 4 periods and that is not possible.
In addition, the sensor switches off your lamp, even if you set it to do nothing for a certain period. The setting 'do nothing' therefore only applies to switching on. He does turn it off. So, for example, if you have set the automation for a lamp to burn continuously from 20 to 23 hours and then only via the sensor, then you can also forget about it, the sensor switches that lamp off again between 20 and 23 hours, even if you choose the 'do nothing' settings.
Fortunately, the sensor is compatible with Homekit. So I completely removed it in the Hue app and made all settings with the Home app. If not, he would have returned without delay.
Conclusion. If 2 settings are enough, this is a great sensor. If not, it is best to ignore it if you do not have another smart home platform.

Ideal extension for my Philips Hue collection. I use the motion sensor in combination with 3 Philips Hue Spots in a ceiling lamp in my hallway. Since I only want light there when there is movement, this works perfectly for me.

Installing the motion sensor on the wall was very easy. You screw a small rubber holder to the wall and you can then magnetically "click" the motion sensor on it. The screw was unfortunately not included.

Installation is easy using the Phiips Hue app, where there are 2 options for the motion sensor as standard; What to do when motion is detected during the day or at night (different brightness levels).
There is also an option to set after how much time the lamp should turn off automatically.
