Philips HueOutdoor 100W Power Supply Black - Connect Multiple Hue Outdoor Low Voltage Lights up to Total of 100W - 1 Pack - Requires Hue Bridge - Weatherproof

The Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor is a great addition to the Hue ecosystem. It integrates seamlessly, responds reliably, and offers excellent adjustability for sensor range. Whether for security or convenience, it does the job well—smart lighting just got smarter!

Although this power supply is expensive, it is very easy to install for great outdoor lighting. The power supply is larger than I expected, but very easy to conceal. The length of the cables out of the power supply met my needs. It has help up in the mountain desert weather from dry high heat and blistering cold winter. I have had Philips Hue ecosystem for years and they have held up well over the years. I anticipate the quality of this power supply will be the same and will last for many years.

Purchased this to setup a motion sensor at the end of my driveway which is about 150 feet from nearest hub. Works every time and can handle the weather conditions. I also use on in my back yard. Easy to integrate with Hue and HomeKit. very likely one of the best outdoor motion sensors I've used with HomeKit.

The Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor is an excellent accessory for anyone invested in the Hue lighting ecosystem. If you want automated, hands-off outdoor lighting control that integrates seamlessly with Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit, this motion sensor is a solid pick. Below are the highlights of my experience.Design & Build QualityRugged Construction: Built to withstand various weather conditions, the sensor’s body feels sturdy with a tough plastic casing. It’s IP54-rated, which means it can handle rain, dust, and heat without issue.Compact & Discreet: It’s relatively small and easy to mount on a wall or corner, blending in without being an eyesore.Ease of InstallationStraightforward Setup: All you need is the sensor, two AA batteries (included), and a Philips Hue Bridge (required to connect it to your Hue network).Flexible Mounting Options: The box includes mounting hardware and a bracket, making it easy to position the sensor at the ideal angle—whether on a fence, near a patio, or above a garage door.Simple Pairing: Using the Hue app, I added the sensor in a few minutes. The app walks you through each step, from inserting batteries to confirming the sensor is recognized.Functionality & PerformanceResponsive Motion Detection: The sensor reliably picks up movement—both from people and pets—within its specified range (approximately 12m/39ft). Sensitivity can be adjusted in the Hue app if you want fewer false positives (like squirrels or waving branches).Dusk-to-Dawn Light Sensor: One of my favorite features is the built-in daylight sensor. It detects ambient light levels, so you can set your Hue lights to come on only when it’s dark enough. This helps conserve energy and prolong the life of your bulbs.Automation & Integration:Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit: You can create routines or voice commands that leverage the motion sensor’s triggers. For example, “turn on the patio lights when motion is detected after dusk.”Customizable Timers & Scenes: Set how long the lights stay on once motion is detected, and even switch to specific Hue Scenes for different moods or times of night.App Control & CustomizationHue App: Everything from motion sensitivity to light level thresholds can be adjusted in a user-friendly interface. You can also specify which Hue lights (or rooms/zones) respond to the sensor’s signal.Multiple Sensors: If you have a larger property or multiple entry points, you can add more sensors to cover all angles and create more complex automations.Pros & ConsProsWeatherproof & Durable – Designed for year-round outdoor use.Adjustable Motion Sensitivity & Light Levels – Minimizes false triggers.Seamless Integration with Hue Ecosystem – Requires a Hue Bridge, but once connected, it’s highly versatile.Energy-Saving Dusk-to-Dawn Feature – Only triggers lights in low-light conditions.Easy Installation – Minimal fuss with included batteries and clear instructions.ConsRequires Hue Bridge – It won’t work as a standalone motion sensor; you need the bridge to integrate into the Hue ecosystem.Range Limitations – While the range is solid, very large yards or unusual property layouts may need additional sensors or careful placement.Price – Compared to generic outdoor motion sensors, the Hue version can be pricier, though the smart features and integration often justify the cost for existing Hue users.Final ThoughtsIf you’re already invested in the Philips Hue ecosystem and want reliable, hands-free control for your outdoor lights, the Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor is a top-notch choice. It’s weatherproof, easy to install, and integrates seamlessly with your existing smart home setup—allowing you to create tailored lighting automations that enhance security and convenience. While it does require a Hue Bridge, the added versatility and robust performance make it well worth the investment.Highly recommended for Philips Hue users looking to upgrade their outdoor lighting automation.

Always quality products!

I have been using an indoor motion sensor under an eave to provide motion lighting at my front door. It worked well down to 20'F, but any time humidity levels were high it went a little crazy, randomly triggering almost continually. I was glad to find this outdoor device compatible with my Hubitat Hub, but was a bit taken aback by the price, but, I needed it, as late Fall was here and the other sensor was starting to have problems.When I opened the box, it definitely seemed that this Philips Hue unit was built for the weather, as it is chunky and robust. I wanted to take the back off to see how the batteries were replaced (I do not rate the pictorial instruction very high in this regard), and it was stuck on. I eventually got it off without causing considerable damage. The batteries test full.Configuring it with my Hubitat C-7 Hub was a piece of cake, and the device configuration panel was well populated with fields to adjust the operation of the sensor. Installation on the wall in the same place as the prior unit was also easy with the provided flat wall mount & hardware, and the included corner mount was a nice touch. Philips does try to give you your money's worth!It is Fall, and leaves are moving, and this thing was triggering like crazy! Eventually, the Motion Sensitivity was reduced all the way to Low, with still many triggers. The routine to trigger the Front Light was eventually changed to activate only if the sensor was active for longer than 10 seconds, while the sensors Motion Retrigger interval was changed to 10 seconds. That provided a better night time solution, but it seems to trigger when there are no leaves moving, so bugs must be moving (or traffic on the street trigger it +100' away). On Low Sensitivity, the light awakens when our car is half-way down the drive, so this sensor does seems to reach out very far.Hopefully, it provides durable operation through our NEOhio winter weather. Hopefully sleet & snow don't trigger it!!!

This motion sensor works quite well and lasts for s very long time on one battery. It integrated with Google Home now, too. So you can turn on lights controlled by Google Home whether they are Hue or not.

Works well, just be sure of where you place it. Whenever we have a windy day my flag turns on the lights I ave connected to it. I must move one of them.
