You can control your connected lighting by app, from your smartwatch, by voice, and even by a good old-fashioned button, but Philips' latest addition to Hue only cares when you're around.

Easy to set up; Flexible lighting scene options; Long battery life

Only works with Hue ecosystem; Occasional brief lag in response to motion

Philips new Hue Motion Sensor is the latest addition to the company's Hue lighting ecosystem, providing a light and motion sensor that can be used to automate all of the Hue lights within a given room based on detecting motion, or a lack of motion.…

I have this connected via HomeKit. It's not only able to immediately turn on designated bulbs as soon as motion is detected, but it can also tell me the temperate in the room that this sensor is in. That's very cool!

I used this in a covered patio to turn on the lights for guests that walk up. Also, when the dog goes out at night, this turns on the lights for him. It doubles as a kind of security for anyone or anything walking around the house. LOL.

Tiny, well designed and good-looking. Battery-operated, so no need to wire in, can therefore be placed anywhere (even in another room to the light/s you're controlling) and the battery will apparently last a couple of years. Highly-configurable, for both time of day, motion and daylight sensitivity.

If you commit to the Philip's Hue lighting system then this is the addition that makes it all work Easy to set up and works well 95% + of the time. Without this sensor, the Hue lights are a waste of time. This motion detector makes sense of the whole idea of auto lighting in the home.

It works well, easy to set up. Only negative is the operation. One the motion detected and your duration for no motion detection reach it turns the lights off instead of return it default. It is anoying when your lights are on.

I don't write reviews much so I'll keep it short. If you want this, get it. It's worth the money, at first I wasn't sure with the Philips Hue Bulb B22 A60 White & Colour Ambiance it adds up in price, but its worth it. No regrets here!

Very small, neat and discreet. Have one on the landing and one in the kitchen. Recommended for high traffic areas. Will be buying a couple more. Easy to mount with the supplied screw. Can be placed on the wall or ceiling and adjusted for both motion and daylight sensitivity.
