Review: Extremely sensitive - I'm just writing this to give people a heads up that yes these are to automate your outdoor hue lights and it dose an amazing job but you also want this unit if you want to automate your garage lights without getting stuck in n the dark waving your arms around like an idiot. I have a ton of Aqara sensors and I thought I'd go with that an I'd be fine but I learned the hard way that Aqara sensors are not as sensitive to wide and long spaces or Internally controlled the way these Philips motion sensors are. The Aqara style gets triggered fantastic at short to medium distance but it sets an internal mystery timer that you don't have access to which shuts off when ever it decides to shut off regardless of movement or not. It has what's called an interval timer that you see in the app and assume "Oh that's how long this thing will stay on when it senses motion!" But you'd be wrong. That trimmer is actually the time AFTER the (mystery) internal countdown decides to shut off before it will report back to your controller that the lights need to be turned on again. It makes it absolutely impossible to keep the lights on in a garage for anything more than a few minutes max even if your standing right in front of the thing! Thankfully not this one though and that's the reason it costs so much. These Philips units will literally pick up your neighbors in their driveway across the street, that's how sensitive it can be if you don't angle it right. But the biggest factor thst makes it so much better is the internal mystery timer that the others have is actually the "how long this thing is going to stay on for after the sensor is tripped" timer. AND the other (2) huge factors, you can control the internal "how long this thing stays on" timer, and it resets every single time it notices motion unlike the Aqaras. What that means is what you think it means, you make any kind of movement and this thing keeps resetting it's internal timer to what ever set it to and that number could be many hours of you want. So set it to like 5 minutes on medium sensitivity to start off and adjust from there. In a garage I'm finding it words perfectly at about a little higher than head level but I also incorporate automation conditions using door contact sensors so the lights also have to make sure every door is closed before it even thinks about taking orders from the motion sensor. The Aqara are actually best at just being quickly trigger when your walking by, not maintaining "some one is still present" for long durations. Want to know how to "correctly" automate the garage? Use an Aqara motion sensor just to trigger detection (not to control on & off) right in front of the door going to the garage. Place a contact sensor on the garage door itself with an automation to turn the garage on when no contact is detected as well as when the Philips is triggered. Then make another (off) automation with the conditions that the door must be closed (contact yes) the Aqara & Hue motion must be in the "ready" position That way it's not "when the door opens turn lights on and when the door closes turn them off" because that will never work for a garage. That would work for a pantry that you open and close that you don't care about remaining on by if you think you're going to master keep the garage (or bathroom lights too) you need to have multiple sensors set up right or it's going to drive you nuts after awhile from not working like you want it too. Also if you really want to get it perfect, add another one of these in the driveway to trigger every time you step outside the garage and add that just to the "lights off" automation under conditions that it must not be triggered too. Automation isn't cheap, I think I have about $170 in sensors and $50 for a switche just for the convenience of motion activated lights in the garage but when you finally get it right, it feels worth it. Good luck!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Any way to keep the floodlights on (at a dim level) and they get brighter when detecting motion. AND off altogether if it's daylight?**
A: YES!!  I do this!  It took me an hour or two of playing around with it to figure out the best way to accomplish this, so I'll just tell you to save you some time.

I created 2 scenes in "Outdoor" room.  The scenes are:  Bright (100%), No Motion (20%).  Then I created a routine named "Outside Night Lights" with this config: {When: Sunset, Room: Outdoor, Turn room(s) off at: Sunrise}.
This activates dimmed lighting from sunset to sunrise. This is a standard thing you can do with the Hue app.  Sunset/sunrise is calculated by your home location, not actual brightness.

Then go to Settings -> Accessory Setup->Outdoor Sensor (whatever you called it) to configure the motion settings:

Where: 1 Room (Outdoor)

Day: 9am - 5pm
Outdoor: "Do Nothing"
No motion: 2 minutes
Outdoor:  Off

Night: 5pm-9am
Outdoor: Bright
No Motion: 2 minutes
Outdoor: "Return to previous state"

My Daylight sensitivity is around 70%.

Configuring times for day/night isn't really a big deal.  This just means the sensor can operate differently during 'day' and 'night'.  Brightness is used either way.  The routine sets the outside lights to 20% brightness from sunset to sunrise, accurately, all year long.  My motion sensor is effectively 'on' from 5pm to 9am, but will only trip the lights to full brightness once the light levels drop below the configured threshold.  During some seasons, the sun may rise at 5am, which is when the routine will turn the lights off.  If someone walks by the sensor at 5:01, it will trip the lights to full brightness only if it's still dark (rain clouds blocking the sun), and then will return the lights to their off state (rather than dimmed).

I believe this does exactly what you want.

**Q: How long will the battery last?**
A: About 2-3 years

**Q: What’s the lumens**
A: 2300 for the White Floodlight

**Q: Can I use this to trigger other smart outlets?**
A: Short answer: Yes 
Long answer: It depends. I don’t know how home automation works with android, but Phillips Hue is Apple HomeKit compatible. The sensor shows up as 3 sensors in the Apple Home app, motion sensor, light/lux sensor, and temperature sensor. You can create automation rules in Apple Home that can control any HomeKit compatible outlet. I don’t know if Phillips Hue has released any smart outlets (pretty sure they just do lighting), but if so then you could probably create a routine for it in the Hue app. 

Note: If you’re new to HomeKit, you should be aware that Apple HomeKit automation only works when you have an Apple device acting as a home automation hub. This can either be an AppleTV or iPad (that stays at home). If all you have is an iPhone, it either won’t work at all, or if it does it will only work when your iPhone is connected to your home WiFi.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable and Efficient Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor
*by T***Y on December 5, 2025*

The Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor is a fantastic addition to any smart home. It’s easy to set up and highly responsive, ensuring that your outdoor lighting is triggered accurately and works great with all the hue lights that I own. The sensor is durable and weather-resistant, making it perfect for outdoor use. Overall, it’s reliable, easy to integrate, and enhances home security and convenience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Necessity for Outdoor Motion Sensing with Hue, Integrates with Home Assistant
*by E***R on January 22, 2025*

The Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor is an excellent accessory for anyone invested in the Hue lighting ecosystem. If you want automated, hands-off outdoor lighting control that integrates seamlessly with Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit, this motion sensor is a solid pick. Below are the highlights of my experience. Design & Build Quality Rugged Construction: Built to withstand various weather conditions, the sensor’s body feels sturdy with a tough plastic casing. It’s IP54-rated, which means it can handle rain, dust, and heat without issue. Compact & Discreet: It’s relatively small and easy to mount on a wall or corner, blending in without being an eyesore. Ease of Installation Straightforward Setup: All you need is the sensor, two AA batteries (included), and a Philips Hue Bridge (required to connect it to your Hue network). Flexible Mounting Options: The box includes mounting hardware and a bracket, making it easy to position the sensor at the ideal angle—whether on a fence, near a patio, or above a garage door. Simple Pairing: Using the Hue app, I added the sensor in a few minutes. The app walks you through each step, from inserting batteries to confirming the sensor is recognized. Functionality & Performance Responsive Motion Detection: The sensor reliably picks up movement—both from people and pets—within its specified range (approximately 12m/39ft). Sensitivity can be adjusted in the Hue app if you want fewer false positives (like squirrels or waving branches). Dusk-to-Dawn Light Sensor: One of my favorite features is the built-in daylight sensor. It detects ambient light levels, so you can set your Hue lights to come on only when it’s dark enough. This helps conserve energy and prolong the life of your bulbs. Automation & Integration: Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit: You can create routines or voice commands that leverage the motion sensor’s triggers. For example, “turn on the patio lights when motion is detected after dusk.” Customizable Timers & Scenes: Set how long the lights stay on once motion is detected, and even switch to specific Hue Scenes for different moods or times of night. App Control & Customization Hue App: Everything from motion sensitivity to light level thresholds can be adjusted in a user-friendly interface. You can also specify which Hue lights (or rooms/zones) respond to the sensor’s signal. Multiple Sensors: If you have a larger property or multiple entry points, you can add more sensors to cover all angles and create more complex automations. Pros & Cons Pros Weatherproof & Durable – Designed for year-round outdoor use. Adjustable Motion Sensitivity & Light Levels – Minimizes false triggers. Seamless Integration with Hue Ecosystem – Requires a Hue Bridge, but once connected, it’s highly versatile. Energy-Saving Dusk-to-Dawn Feature – Only triggers lights in low-light conditions. Easy Installation – Minimal fuss with included batteries and clear instructions. Cons Requires Hue Bridge – It won’t work as a standalone motion sensor; you need the bridge to integrate into the Hue ecosystem. Range Limitations – While the range is solid, very large yards or unusual property layouts may need additional sensors or careful placement. Price – Compared to generic outdoor motion sensors, the Hue version can be pricier, though the smart features and integration often justify the cost for existing Hue users. Final Thoughts If you’re already invested in the Philips Hue ecosystem and want reliable, hands-free control for your outdoor lights, the Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor is a top-notch choice. It’s weatherproof, easy to install, and integrates seamlessly with your existing smart home setup—allowing you to create tailored lighting automations that enhance security and convenience. While it does require a Hue Bridge, the added versatility and robust performance make it well worth the investment. Highly recommended for Philips Hue users looking to upgrade their outdoor lighting automation.
