18 customers mention9 positive9 negative

Customers are mixed about the sensitivity of the motion detector device. Some mention that it has a great range and sensitivity, while others say that it works well, but is way too sensitive. The motion detection and light sensitivity are adjustable using the Philip Hue App or Apple Home app, and it is able to connect at such a long distance. However, some customers say that the sensor is way to sensitive and not sensitive or far-reaching enough.

"...Works great. Surprisingly sensitive and fairly good range and breadth for motion detection window.The installation was a little wonky...." Read more

"...a nice device and does what it says it does, it's just not as sensitive or broad reaching as advertised...." Read more

6 customers mention0 positive6 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the effect of the motion detector device on light. They mention that the sensitivity setting triggers on natural light changes, such as shadows moving on the wall. They also say that the sensor is unreliable and the light was so dim that it could barely see anything. Some customers also complain that the device can only trigger scenes for lights.

"...Direct sunlight also gives false triggers, but we don't use the motion sensors during the day...." Read more

"...the day, even at the lowest sensitivity setting, it triggers on natural light changes such as shadows moving on the ground and cars driving by well..." Read more

Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor says "No response" in Apple Home app (HomeKit). Battery dead? SOLVED

Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor says "No response" in Apple Home app (HomeKit). Battery dead? SOLVED
TL;DR - Make sure your sensor is enabled in the Hue app before you try to replace the batteries!I am very pleased with these Outdoor Sensors. I do get false motion readings when sun is shining through trees on one of them in the mornings, but they are very reliable overall in controlling Hue indoor and outdoor lights. I especially love that I can use motion from these sensors to trigger HomeKit automation.I just spent an hour trying to figure out how to open the Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor to replace the batteries. The Apple Home app was reporting "No Response" for the Outdoor Motion Sensor, which is typical when a device is powered off or battery is dead. I assumed the batteries were due for replacement.My Hue system is connected to HomeKit, so I rarely open the Hue app. I noticed the sensor was still glowing red when I was handling it, so I thought I'd open the Hue app and try to confirm the battery level. In the process, I realized that I had disabled the sensor in Hue app.MY SOLUTION - I enabled the sensor in Hue app and the sensor is working correctly again and showing status in Apple Home app again. Ugh! I wish Home app showed "Disabled" instead of the "No Response" message typical of powered off or dead devices. I hope checking whether or not your Hue motion sensor is enabled in Hue app saves you some hassle.Battery FYI - Hue app does not show battery level for any of my Outdoor Sensors. The sensor has 4 small phillips batteries in the back. After removing these screws, the back cover seemed glued/sealed shut. I referred to the original instructions and they have very vague battery warnings saying the battery should not be recharged and the sensor should only be opened to replace the batteries BUT the original instructions do not have any info about replacing the batteries.I suspect the batteries are not meant to be replaced. I may update my review with more details and a teardown if/when a sensor does die.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very handy!
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2022
I have several Hue light bulbs already and wanted this handy device to detect critters and/or intruders into my backyard. The device does NOT light up, you must connect it to your Hue bridge. You can select up to three different lightbulbs to come on, when motion is detected. The motion sensitivity is very good and I’ve had to decrease it, due to my light turning on, without any motion. I installed it using double sided silicone tape!! Great purchase. Shipped quickly.
