Everything you need to know
The indoor Hue motion sensor triggers your Hue lights on movement and turns them off once a room is empty. A built-in daylight sensor stops the lights coming on when there's already enough light, and it reports temperature too. It runs on two AAA batteries, connects over Zigbee, and needs a Hue Bridge. One sensor can control up to three rooms, a zone or your whole setup.
Product features
Hands-free
Lights on as you walk in
Walk into a hallway, wardrobe or laundry and the lights come on, then switch off once the room empties. One sensor can control up to three rooms, a zone or your whole setup, with different scenes through the day.
Daylight sensing
Skips the wasted trigger
A built-in daylight sensor keeps the lights off when the room is already bright enough, and you set the level that counts as too dark. Tune the motion sensitivity if it fires too readily or not fast enough.
Setup
Battery-powered, needs the Bridge
It runs on two AAA batteries with no wiring, so mount it on a wall or stand it on a shelf. It connects to your Hue lights over Zigbee through the Hue Bridge, which it needs to work.
The Philips Hue system
Hue is a system, not just a smart bulb. Every Hue product, from bulbs and lamps to light strips and fixtures, joins the same Zigbee mesh and shows up in one app. A single bulb bought today slots straight into a whole-home setup later.
The lights
Bulbs, lamps, strips & fixtures
All speak Zigbee and mesh with each other, so every light you add extends the network's reach.
The hub
One Bridge runs the whole home
Runs up to 50 lights off your router, and connects Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings.
The control
App, voice & switches
One app for rooms, scenes and schedules, plus dimmers, buttons and sensors that work without a phone.
Getting started
1
Start with one light Start here
Add your first Hue light, open the Hue app, and control up to 10 lights in one room over Bluetooth. No hub required.
2
Add the Hue Bridge When you're ready
Run up to 50 lights, control them from anywhere, set schedules and automations, and connect your voice assistant.
Start small, scale up. Everything you buy today keeps working when you add the Bridge, and everything Hue has made since 2012 still joins the same system.
