Philips Hue Motion Sensor + 2pk W A19

The product works as descibed. One feature missing is the ability to assign a light to more then one motion sensor. The idea is to have an outside motion sensor activate a light outside, and a light inside. A second inside motion sensor to activate the same inside light.

Very easy to install, I just set it on top of a door frame in the hall, and the lights turn on when I come through the door. Sometimes I have to wave my hand a little or get closer, but maybe I can move it closer or turn up the sensitivity.

I thought these would simply trigger hue lights on and off but they do so much more. And when Linked to Alexa as a hub you can additionally control plugs, switches, pretty much anything and it will tell you the temperature it measures

Works as described. Easy to set up. I use it for the smart lights in my bathroom

LOVE my motion sensor and the Philips Hue line.

Love the motion detectors. I’d love one for every room in my house! That would just be overkill.

Set routines, set dimmer for time of day, when motion sensor should be active, auto time on/off for burglary deterent, set length of time light stays on when motion detected. Adjust sensitivity of motion detection. Dog needed to be able to be detected so he could navigate down the stairway. Dont know how I lived without it.

I have a few of these in my house to control lights in closets and halls. They work great so far. The trick is putting them in good locations so they detect motion when you want them to. I have noticed they don’t work if you are more than 10ft away which may or may not be a good thing. For example I have one at the top of my stairs and it doesn’t seems to work till you are a few steps up before turning the lights on.

I think 2 stars in kind of harsh to give this sensor, but feel a message needs to be sent for the horrible support provided for this product. When they work, they are phenomenal, 5 stars. The problem lies with when they do not, which for me, only owning the product for less than 2 weeks, has been more often than they worked. I bought 2 sensors, set them both up in my kitchen to control some Hue strip lights. When I say I was done in just over a minute, I mean it. So far so good. Then the popup for the software update came. Ran the update and the lights continued to work, but the motion sensors kept saying unreachable. Instructions were of no use. Tried going to the Hue website and there is literally no support whatsoever for the product. Not even a message board where others could help support the product. I hit the internet, read all of the move the hub as far away from your access point threads. All the threads about wiping everything out and starting over. Nothing helped. This went on for 4 days. In those 4 days I cannot begin to tell you how many times I tried to resync the motion sensors with the hub to no avail. It kept telling me to press the setup button for 1 second to put it into setup mode and the app just kept saying searching for motion sensor. I finally came across a post someplace that said to hold the setup button in for at least 10 seconds until it starts flashing different colored lights... Voila! I again had the 2 sensors setup in under a minute. Why the app tells you a second, when it needs to be pressed for 10 seconds I have no idea. Guess someone figure hey, its a zero, its worth nothing. Why Philips provides no online support for this product, I have no idea, not even a forum for other to support their products for them. Im now at the point where they work again, but the lights do not stay on for the 3 minutes with no motion as I have them set. They turn off after about a minute. They also seem to dim slightly after about 30 seconds for no reason. Im scared to do much of anything after the hell Ive been through the past week. I did confirm all my settings are correct multiple times and I did toggle all the settings I wanted on and off a few times, but the minor problems persist. Everything was working perfectly prior to the software update. If it works, the motion sensor is great. My problem is the incredible lack of support and the fact that it was all brought crashing down after a software update. If this is what I have to look forward to in the future, Im regretful I invested so much money in Hue light products.

Failure is all it does. Waste of money
