Okay so first of all, this unit is great. It includes a temperature sensor, light sensor (measures lux in the environment), and of course a motion sensor. It operates off of batteries which, after more than a month, still shows as basically 100% in the app. The batteries are 2x AAA, so easy to replace when needed. Since it's battery operated, you can put it anywhere without any install unless you want to permanently mount it somewhere. You can adjust the sensitivity of the sensors so they trigger actions more (or less).From the Hue app, you can set how you want it to behave. Only want to enable it when the room is dark (determined by the light sensor and whatever trigger value you set)? No problem. Only enable it after 10pm? Sure. It's quite powerful.There are some missing features that could be implemented though, some of which do have workarounds. And accessing the raw data (sensor states and values, etc) is actually quite easy with the Hue Hub since it has an accessible REST API. So here's my situation, and an example of how I was able to work around a missing feature that I wanted.The Goal: This motion sensor sits in my bedroom to turn on all of the lights when someone walks in or is active in the room. It needs to "see" most of the room because I don't want dead spots where the lights just shut off because it can't see I'm in there. However, I don't want it to ALWAYS turn on the lights when it senses movement, because even at the lowest sensitivity setting it "sees" when I move in my sleep and causes the lights to come on.The Missing Feature: While you can turn the motion sensing of this unit on and off via its settings in the Hue app, there is currently no way to completely disable the sensor. Sure, you can say "From 10pm to 6am, when you detect motion, do nothing." That effectively gives you the same result. But it doesn't work for the problem I'm trying to solve, because what if I go to bed late? What if I get up early? What if my fiancée wants to sleep in longer than me and I inadvertently trigger the lights when I get up?The Solution: My house primarily utilizes the HomeKit ecosystem (i.e., Apple Home) and it integrates with Hue allowing you to complete some actions/automations/shortcuts with calls to Siri or by activating them manually via the Apple Home app. It doesn't support the motion sensor directly, but I set up a Raspberry Pi running Homebridge to create a "dummy switch" with the name "Motion Sensor". I then created two shortcuts - one that submits a REST API call to the Hue bridge to completely disable the motion sensor (leaving the others intact), and one to enable it. I then set the "Motion Sensor" switch to call one of those shortcuts whenever the switch is toggled. I added it to the Bedroom zone, so at that point I could enable/disable the motion sensor with Siri: "Siri, turn off the bedroom motion sensor.") Apple Home already has a couple of default Scenes that you can modify to suit your needs, one of these is "Good Night". I added the "Motion Sensor" dummy switch to this scene with instructions to toggle it off.So now, I can say "Siri, good night" and it will turn off all of the lights in the house, turn off the TV and fan, and disable the motion sensor in the bedroom. I then created a similar "good morning" that turns the motion sensor back on (among other things) when we're both awake.

I use Apples HomeKit in our house and garage and needed something in the garage to turn the lights on automatically when someone opens the door and walks in. The first Homekit enabled motion sensor I purchased from another manufacturer constantly dropped off the network giving me "Unreachable" errors in the Home app.Because I have several Philips Hue lights in our home and have had great luck with them I decided to give their motion sensor a try. I'm very glad I did as it solved my lighting issue in the garage perfectly.Setup was pretty straight forward, although I do find the Philip's Hue app a bit cumbersome to get around in. Once the app found the device and installed it in the Home app I was able to create a new automation. Now when motion is detected it turns on three of my Smart Plugs connected to shop lights. I wasn't sure if the Hue motion sensor would be able to turn on non Philips Hue products but it works great. From the time it senses motion to activation of all three lights is under a second so it's very responsive.In the Home app automation I created for the sensor and lights I've set the lights to turn off after 20 minutes of no motion detected. As long as i'm moving around in the garage the lights will remain on. Perfect for what I need.The motion sensor comes with a magnet which when attached to the device allows you to place the sensor on metal surface. I placed mine on the side of my gun safe which is facing my garage door. I do find it odd that Philips included the magnet but the screw they include to attach the magnet to the sensor is a wood screw. The sensor housing has fine threads. It still works as there is virtually no weight too sensor so you only need to turn the screw a quarter turn to get it to bite. But it's still not correct and a dumb oversight on Philips part.Another nice feature of the motion sensor is the inclusion of a temperature sensor. Now I can see the temp of my garage from my Home app anytime I want. However, the Home app doesn't let you use the temperature sensor for any automation. I'm not sure if this is a Apple issue or Philips but it might be nice to say turn on a fan in the garage if a certain temperature is reached.All in all though I would highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to add a motion sensor to their Homekit setup.

I use this and several other Hue products with Home Assistant, without a Hue Bridge.After having multiple Hue outdoor sensors drop offline and fail after weeks I decided on a whim to try to use these indoor sensors outdoors and have had nothing but continued success with that as well. I have one under an overhang on my back deck to turn outdoor lighting on and off, and have one in my unheated entry way to turn lighting on there to welcome guests. Although its not rated for outdor use these have been in place for 6+ months without issue, a much longer time than any of my Hue outdoor sensors stayed connected. Highly recommended.

This is an integral part of my apartment, which is entirely controlled with Philips Hue system. I have two of these in the bathroom, to cover the shower area as well as the wash basin area, because one wasn't enough to cover the entire bathroom. Philips keeps improving software, recently adding a feature to group the two sensors. Hopefully, this will improves the integration of the two devices to cover the single area.

Existen muchas buenas opciones sin embargo considero que este es el mejor dispositivo en su clase dura mucho la batería y es muy confiable muy bien construido excelentes materiales.

Easy to setup and I put in Laundry Room because light switch is in a weird spot. I set the occupancy timeout to 10 seconds, which is the fastest. I set automation mode to restart and have three triggers... depending which one there is an action: I turn the light on from motion detected trigger, turn light on from switch trigger delay 5 min and turn light off, and turn light on from motion clear trigger (eg. after its 10 sec of no motion it detects), which starts the 5 minute delay and turns light off. Any of these three triggers will stop current automation and restarts it again.Mounting is simple. It is magnetic so I have it stuck on a metal curtain hanger hook above window so no screws required. The mount also has a hole in it and can be screwed in with the included screw and wall anchors. The sensor then magnetically attaches to this little mount which I believe can be positioned at different angles but I just stuck mine straight in them mount because the angle is fine for a room.

Nothing beats Phillips Hue with their products. Works great as described.

It works smoothly
