Enhance your Philips Hue setup with a motion sensor designed to simplify everyday lighting. This battery-powered, wireless device fits discreetly anywhere and activates compatible Hue lights as you walk by. It’s especially handy in hallways, stairways, and during late-night wake-ups, helping you see without fumbling for switches while maintaining a calm, ambient mood.

What’s in the box

Personalize and time your lighting

Use the Hue app to tailor behavior by time of day. Create bright, cool lighting in the morning and switch to warm, golden tones in the evening. Adjust sensitivity and automation rules to fit your routines without sacrificing ease of use.
