Philips Hue Smart Motion Sensor

Bring intelligent lighting to your home

Meet Hue. Your personal wireless lighting system that lets you easily control your Hue lights from your smart device or compatible controls and create the right ambiance for your every moment.

Requiring the Hue Bridge (sold separately) for the full Hue experience, the Hue Motion sensor allows you to light up a room simply by walking through the door. Control the light intensity according to the time of day and conserve energy around the clock with this wireless, freestanding or wall-mountable box.

  • Each kit includes one Hue Motion Sensor with two AAA alkaline batteries, a magnet, screws, a manual, and a two-year warranty

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.

Customers like the performance, ease of installation, motion sensor, and adjustability of the motion detector device. For example, they mention it works well, the software interfacing and setup is intuitive, and it can be easily installed in drywall. That said, they appreciate the sensitivity customization and the ability to adjust the light and motion sensitivities. That being said, some say the sensor is smart and turns on dim light at night.

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 Simple and effective
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2020
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Addition to Hue Products
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!

Reviewed in Canada on November 2, 2021
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.
