The sensor detects variations in infrared radiation in its environment, allowing it to detect human movement and automatically turn on the lights (sensor motion sensitivity can be adjusted in the app). By connecting the motion sensor to your Hue hub via the Philips Hue app, you can choose which of your Philips Hue lights go on, both inside and outside your house. Also choose the scene or light setting that should be triggered. The integrated dusk-to-dawn sensor ensures your lights only switch on when it is actually dark outside helping you to conserve energy. This Philips Hue outdoor sensor is specially designed for use in outdoor environments and has undergone rigorous tests to ensure its performance. Certified by UL, the product will withstand heavy rainfall and other weather conditions. 160 degree horizontal/80 degree verticle view angle with 39 ft x 8 ft detection radius. Optimized for far range and close proximity (antering and leaving home). Able to fix the motion sensor on both a flat wall and corner.The product voltage arrange is 110V. 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!

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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely sensitive *by R***A on 19 January 2026* 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.

Good luck! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente sensor *by L***A on 15 June 2025* Funciona muy bien (tiene un buen rango de detección). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good sensor. Could use an adjustable mount. Only comes in black. *by M***Y on 10 May 2025* What I love: The sensitivity is easily adjustable. The battery life is very good (I did my first battery replacement at 8 or 9 months). The actions you can take in the Hue and Google apps are pretty reasonable (switch scenes or start an automation, then revert back after x minutes, only trigger during certain times of the day, etc.) And you can use the Hue REST API to access and log temperature data. What I don't love: There are no adjustments to tilt or pan the sensor, so you need to physically shim it until it is perfectly aimed, often requiring several unmounts and remounts. An adjustable mount would be a big improvement. It only comes in black. A white option would be nice. ## Frequently Bought Together - Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor - Automatic Dusk to Dawn - Turns Lights On When Motion is Detected - 1 Pack - Requires Bridge - Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Homekit - Weatherproof - Philips Hue Motion Sensor - Exclusively for Philips Hue Smart Lights - Requires Hue Bridge - Easy, No-Wire Installation --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/665046831-philips-hue-outdoor-motion-sensor-for-smart-lights-requires-hue](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/665046831-philips-hue-outdoor-motion-sensor-for-smart-lights-requires-hue) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-07-17*
