Lighting in Motion

Turn your Hue Lights On and Off Automatically

Triggers your Philips Hue lights when motion is detected. Connect the Philips Hue motion sensor to your Philips Hue bridge via the Philips Hue app, and it will automatically turn on your Philips Hue lights when you enter a room. Perfect for your hallway, bathroom, basement or garage. You can choose in the app which scene or light setting should be triggered when motion is detected. The lights will turn off automatically, when motion is no longer detected.

Day and Night Settings

Automatically turns on a gentle night light. It's possible to set different light settings for day and night. During the day, the sensor can trigger crisp white light to help you see better. At night, it can turn on a gentle night light when you, your partner or child gets out of bed. Just enough to help you navigate in the dark, without waking up the rest of the family.

Place It Where It Matters

No cables, so you can place it anywhere in your home. The motion sensor is battery powered, so it is completely wireless and easy to install anywhere in your home. Set-up is done in a matter of minutes. Simply put it on a shelf, side table, or mount it to a wall or ceiling using the included screw. You can even attach it to metal surfaces such as your fridge, with the included magnet. You can easily adjust the detection angle by adjusting the sensor in the right direction.

Integrated Daylight Sensor

Only turns on the lights when needed. Thanks to an integrated daylight sensor, your lights only turn on when needed. You can easily change the light sensitivity in the Philips Hue app, so the sensor only triggers when you need that bit of extra light. When no more motion is detected, the lights dim down before they automatically switch off after a selected time. The motion sensor also helps you to save energy by automatically turning off lights in areas that aren’t being used.

Do More with Alexa

With Amazon Alexa, you can control the lights in your home with your voice. Turn your Hue lights on/off, dim, change colors and more..all you have to do is ask.

Easy to setup, works great. Highly recommend
I had a lot more written out but BaconReader crashed and I lost it, so here's the shortened version.My Hue Motion sensor was delivered earlier this afternoon. We have been in the process of remodeling what was a breakfast nook off the kitchen into a half bath/laundry room. It's still very much a work in progress, but the only light switch in that room is in a very inconvenient location, behind where the washer is.At first I tried using a Hue Dimmer magnetized to the side of the washer, but that's a few feet inside of the room and was somewhat unintuitive to guests, who would look to the walls for a switch. So I had the Hue Motion sensor ordered. At first I put the sensor at the far side of the room on the other window sill but it was detecting us in the kitchen and we didn't want that.The app is easy to use and very intuitive. You can set the time between how long it takes to start going dark. Also nice is it steps down the brightness of it doesn't detect motion for awhile. So I have ours set to turn off after 2 minutes without motion. After around one minute, it dims the lights, then goes completely dark after two.You can also set it so that between certain hours of the day it will turn on different preset brightness levels. So for us from 11p-8a it turns on a slightly dimmer version of the lights so it doesn't fry your retina.The sensor also comes with a mount so you could put it somewhere high and out of the way if you wanted. This has definitely fit the exact need we have in our lives. Great addition by Hue.

5.0 out of 5 stars A First Class product
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024
Verified Purchase
Note that this review is based on one I already have owned for about three years, and used via a non-Philips hub.

This is a solid product. I am not running a Philips Hue hub; I am using the built-in capability that is offered with the Hubitat Elevation home automation hub. It has - via an app - the ability to use Philips Hue devices without the need for Philips' own separate hub. It replaced a Zooz sensor that ate a wierd type of battery at a prodigeous rate.

Motion detection is very good, it provides other information like ambient light brightness, and temperature. Battery life is incredible! The factory set of batteries ran just about two years before failing, and as they are AAA, are easy and cheap to buy.

Do I suggest this sensor? Yes, if you are in the Philips Hue system, or if you do as I have done: using a hub that will work with Philips Hue devices. The one I just purchased is being used for some little experiments, and I am sure it will work very well for its eventual task.

5.0 out of 5 stars Conflicted (Edit: No Longer!)
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2016
Verified Purchase
If I had to use one word to sum up my experience with the Hue Motion Sensor, it would be "conflicted". For I have desired a product that can do what the Hue Motion Sensor does for a very long time. Yet now that I have it, I find myself wanting more.

The Hue Motion sensor does exactly what it was marketed to do, and it does its job surprisingly well. The installation was a breeze, setup was easy, and after getting used to its capabilities and limitations for a day or two, it was surprisingly easy to setup the behavior exactly as the way you like it. My lights in each room turn on instantaneously when I walk in, and shut off after a predefined amount of inactivity. It’s highly flexible too, as a piece of strong magnet simply attaches to the back (screw is optional) and sticks to all metal surfaces and some wall corners with metal beams. My favorite location to place the sensor is right over the top screw of my light switch, and it provides the best FOV for the sensor in multiple locations of my home. This kind of setup/function experience cannot be said for a significant portion of the smart home market, even Apple’s own HomeKit is significantly less reliable compared to this product.

If you love it so much why give it 3 stars? Well, as much as I love how the sensors automate my lights in each room, that is literally all it is able to do. With how far smart home technologies have come and the sheer number of tools at the manufactures’ disposal, one does not simply release a premium-priced product without offering a hint of these functionalities. The Hue Sensor is akin to releasing a high-end TV without Netflix integration in the modern age. So if you would like to use your Hue Sensor to trigger notifications to your phone, or complete a series of home automation actions, you’d be better off looking elsewhere.

Am I keeping the Hue Sensors I’ve purchased? Probably, as it helped realized a long time dream of mine while being able to function flawlessly. Am I happy about this purchase? Not really, as the super-limited capabilities at such a steep price point is not at all justified. The advice here is to keep waiting if you are looking for the best bang for your buck.

2 Year Edit: Almost 2 years later, I am revising my review from 3 stars to 5 stars. Most of the above concerns were completely eliminated by the integration of HomeKit, which fixed all of my previous grips!

The motion detection has a good range and I like that you can configure different day and night settings as well as being able to configure motion sensitivity and ambient light sensitivity individually. You can also configure the time out for day and night individually. If you just set them up, the defaults are good enough. The mount is magnetic, so drilling is not necessary if you have a central place to put it on metal. They also have a barometer and thermometer in them, but these are not currently utilized by the app.

I set up one of these in the bathroom and one in my home office. In the bathroom, I have the sensor paired with two lights and have set the ambient light sensor and motion detection high. The lights do not come on during the day when not needed but when the ambient light is low, the lights come on full brightness. At night, the lights are set to 5% brightness (nightlight) and turn on to 50% when motion is detected. In the home office, the lights are set to full white during the day and a dim amber at night only when I am present.

My only complaint is the price. $35 seems quite high (even for Hue). I bought two at full price but I keep checking for a sale so I can add a third.

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2017

The Good: This is a GREAT device. I could not believe how easy it was to set up with the hub without even reading a single instruction. You basically open up the Philips Hue app, go to accessories, click the + button and remove the tape on the back of the sensor unit to pair.

The motion detection works superbly. It is so cool to enter a room and have the lights automatically turn on.

Here's the rub -- and why you just can't have everything with this motion detector...

It's terrific for if you want to simply enter the room, grab something real quick, and then exit. The lights turn on automatically and then after a set amount of time (which you can manually select), the lights dim and then turn off.

However....

It's a pain-in-the-neck if you want the lights to automatically turn on when you enter a room and then decide to stay in it. You cannot override the auto turn-off function unless you have your mobile device in your pocket and turn the sensor off. So, say you want to do some work in your office. The lights will automatically turn on as you enter, however as you sit in your chair to do work, the lights will automatically turn off on you. Not good.

Truly, I hope I am missing something that lets you more easily override the auto-off function without having to resort to finding your phone and tablet and adjusting the settings.

Outside of this glaring issue, this is a really great device!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Addition to Hue Products
Reviewed in Canada on March 31, 2017
Verified Purchase
Philips Hue products continue to exceed my expectations; we are so addicted to their products. The tiny Motion Sensor is a perfect and affordable addition to our collection. The back of the device fits nicely with a very strong magnet and I lucked out, it was strong enough to hold to the Drywall Corner Bead of my wall...so no drilling/anchors/screws required. We set it up in our stairway a little higher than normal as we didn't want our cats to activate the sensor.

Setup was a breeze; the Hue app found the device within seconds and setup was not as difficult as I anticipated. We only have it active late evening for a couple of hours and this was another selling point for us, I did not want the hallway lights to come on in the middle of the night to wake us all so I set it to "Do Nothing" from after 10 pm until the following evening. Motion Sensitivity can be set to Low, Medium or High (we have ours on Low due to cats) and also has a Daylight Sensitivity setting.

So far, this is one of my favourite Hue products and I am not disappointed!

Reviewed in Canada on March 31, 2017
Philips Hue products continue to exceed my expectations; we are so addicted to their products. The tiny Motion Sensor is a perfect and affordable addition to our collection. The back of the device fits nicely with a very strong magnet and I lucked out, it was strong enough to hold to the Drywall Corner Bead of my wall...so no drilling/anchors/screws required. We set it up in our stairway a little higher than normal as we didn't want our cats to activate the sensor.

Setup was a breeze; the Hue app found the device within seconds and setup was not as difficult as I anticipated. We only have it active late evening for a couple of hours and this was another selling point for us, I did not want the hallway lights to come on in the middle of the night to wake us all so I set it to "Do Nothing" from after 10 pm until the following evening. Motion Sensitivity can be set to Low, Medium or High (we have ours on Low due to cats) and also has a Daylight Sensitivity setting.

So far, this is one of my favourite Hue products and I am not disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Integrates easily with open-source home automation system (Home Assistant)

Verified Purchase
This motion sensor works in conjunction with the Philips Hue mobile app and other Hue products. It will send you alert notifications to your device when motion is detected. It is small and appears to be well-built. I can't confirm but battery life appears to be good. It comes with a magnetic mount that attached to your wall.
For DIY'ers, it integrates well with Google Home Assistant, and with the Open-Source home automation software Home Assistant. These sensors are part of my home's DIY alarm system.
