Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor

Wireless Zigbee Outdoor Motion Sensor

Imagine coming home in the evening, and before you even reach for your keys, your Hue lights turn on at the first step—no stumbling in the dark, pure security. That's the Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor! This weatherproof sensor detects motion up to 12 meters away at a wide 160° angle (80° vertical), and the built-in lux sensor ensures it only activates when it's truly dark. Install it wirelessly on your wall, pole, or corner with the magnetic mount or screw, and program sensitivity, timers, and schedules for optimal performance via the app.

Why this is a must-have for your smart home:

• Zigbee-ready for a robust setup: Connect via the Hue Bridge for app control, voice control (Alexa, Google, Siri), and automations like "light on for 5 minutes when motion is detected." No Bluetooth, but Zigbee keeps things stable and mesh-network-friendly.
• Top-tier compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with the Hue ecosystem for indoor/outdoor lighting. For Home Assistant enthusiasts, integrate it via the official Hue integration (with Bridge) or directly with a Zigbee dongle (ZHA/Zigbee2MQTT) for entities like motion, illumination, and battery status—build automations like "trigger camera recording on detection." We tested it: super reliable, with battery reports you won't miss.
• Energy-efficient beast: Powered by 2x AA batteries with a lifespan of up to 2 years, no wiring required. Weatherproof IP54 rating withstands rain and splashes, from -20°C to 45°C.
