Good Review👍🏾

Is it possible to get a Homekit notification when the motion sensor is triggered?

Thanks for a great video! Do you know if it is possible for the sensor to make my lamp by the outdoor to change colour or the light intensity when motion is detected and after let say 1min go back to dimmed mode? What I am looking for is to have my outdoor lights on auto every evening on dimmed, but if someone is entering my frontyard it will brighten up and then get back to dimmed after some minutes. Thanks in advance :)

Andrew can we please have the link to that wallpaper we love your videos but please share your wallpapers

How did you screw it to your stairs?

How does the sensor communicate with the home network - WiFi, proprietary? What is the maximum range from the house or hub? Also, can the sensor trigger an audible alert? Thanks!

thank you for this review Andrew... Sounds brilliant..

hello do you need a philips hub or is homekit enough with the homepod? Thank you

I have the same question

Can I use this to set up a scenario where it will get Alexa to notify me when someone is at the front door?

Yes I think that's doable. I have my Philips Hue connected via the Smartthings hub to Alexa. Connecting to Alexa can be done via other hubs as well. In Alexa with a routine you can make Alexa say something.

How do you change batteries. I removed screws in back but the back plate won’t budge

Yeah I had that issue also so made a video to explain it and help others kzread.info/dash/bejne/o6iYvLagnrrXqbA.html

What I really want is a HomeKit motion sensor that triggers my security camera. Home security still seems to be a big gap in HomeKit. Lighting isn’t that much better either. It’s fine for a sensor to turn on a light for X mins then turn it off, but what if it was already on (meaning you don’t want it to turn off after the delay)? HomeKit needs to remember “state”, so it can return to the previous state (rather than turn off) once a task has been run.

Cool

Answer your calls, Andrew.

can you reduce the motion distance

Just the sensitivity!

Some designer said “oh checkout this wedge design, it totally makes it look futuristic and great for any mounting need!” Meanwhile, the installer is cursing up a storm and tosses it for an L bracket.

Can you install this on the hive app like the bulbs? To work together

No, batteries installed?

At 4:00 you tell about Motion, Light and Temperature sensors.... But I can’t find any manual telling how you can use the hue outdoor sensor as a dusk-dawn-sensor. Can you tell wether the outdoor sensor can act as a light sensor, turning on lights simply when it gets dark?

How the F do you get to/change the batteries?

Battery life?

AppleInsider wow ty 🙌🏼

the packaging in New Zealand and Australia is different to yours. It states the ip water rating as only 54. I thought it would have been at least 65 been an outside product and the picture on the box shows the sensor in pouring rain. New Zealand is a sub tropical area of the world with high humidity and anything that is outside if it is not water tight only lasts one or two seasons. so spending $95 (price here) for something that may not last is a bit of a waste. This is a shame as I was looking forward to this product. ALso one last thing with the temperature sensor I have been hoping Hue or a 3rd party will make a app to track the temperatures in a graph with a history for a week or so. if you know of one please let me know. thanks.

2 year warrenty should be included. If it survives those years, its probably water resistant enough.

Hope this Sensor can work with the Eve Aqua simply for stopping Cats doing poo in my garden! Cat activates motion sensor which activates Eve Aqua which turns on garden sprinklers to scare away the Cat! ???

Does the sensors have to be close to the hue bridge? If so, how close. Thank you.

Am I the only one who is waiting for Hue to manufacture an outfoor, or indoor, contact sensor?

Oddly entertaining videos

Hi

It looks like HAL 9000 but doesn't really care what you do.

Temporary not available The product actually

Am I the only one who ask for the battery? Is it replaceable? Everything is ok but is expensive if it is not replaceable

Most of the time not working 😡😡😡😡😡😡

There are very few brands where everything I have ever purchased from them is complete junk. Philips is one of those brands.

Don't forget this is a separate company. Idk what "Philips" products you are referring to, but Hue is run by a separate company that goes by Signify and they license the Philips name years ago when it split off. Any other Philips stuff is not by the same company in this case. If you are talking about bulbs, I'm honestly surprised because my house is filled with them and I've had nothing but great luck over the past... 6 years or so.
