Product Details

The Philips Hue Motion Sensor is a 3-in-1 device that detects motion, ambient light, and temperature. When motion is detected, it can automatically turn on your Hue lights at the right brightness based on the time of day. The ambient light sensor prevents lights from turning on when there's enough natural light, and the temperature sensor (accessible via HomeKit) helps monitor room conditions.
