The outdoor sensor turns on your Philips Hue lights automatically when somebody passes by, outdoor and indoor. By connecting the sensor to your bridge via the Philips Hue app, you can choose which lights go on, even inside your house. Also choose the scene or light setting that should be triggered.

Philips Hue is a line of color-changing LED lamps and white bulbs which can be controlled wirelessly. The Philips Hue line of bulbs was the first smart bulb of its kind on the market. The lamps are currently created and manufactured by Signify N.V., formerly the Philips Lighting division of Royal Philips N.V.

A motion sensor light triggers a response when motion is detected. They can be installed indoors, on walls, ceilings, and in doorways, or outside, on the exterior of buildings and homes. Some kinds of motion sensor lights, called occupancy sensors, operate by turning off lights in unoccupied rooms and spaces.

Trigger your smart lights with movement. The battery-powered Hue motion sensor can be easily installed anywhere in your home.

An active ultrasonic motion detector emits ultrasonic sound waves that reflect off objects and bounce back to the original emission point. When a moving object disrupts the waves, the sensor triggers and completes the desired action, whether this is switching on a light or sounding an alarm.

Of the many reasons for getting motion sensor lights, the three most significant considerations are energy conservation, theft or crime deterrent purposes, and convenience. You can save on energy costs light bulb usage and contribute to a more eco-friendly lifestyle by installing motion sensor lights.

Philips Hue commands a premium for its smart lights for a good reason: Hue devices consistently produce strikingly high-quality light across a spectrum of genuinely pleasing colors, while cheaper alternatives often do not. Thankfully, however, you don't have to sacrifice smart lighting quality just to save on cost.

There is no limit how many lights a motion sensor can control. It is best to create a new zone/group with all the lights you want the sensor to control. Then set up your motion sensor with that zone (using the wizard).

Most sensors use radiation such as light or laser, infrared, radio waves or other waves such as ultrasonic waves to detect objects and changes in their environment. They can do so by having an energy source inside them that enables them to emit the radiation towards their target object.

An occupancy sensor switch automatically turns the lights on when motion is detected within the sensor viewing range and automatically turns the lights off when the room is vacant, and motion is no longer detected.
