Do I need a Hue Bridge to use it?

Yes. The sensor talks to Hue lights through the Hue Bridge, which is sold separately.

Is it weatherproof enough to leave outside?

It is designed for outdoor use, but mount it where rain and sprinklers hit it less directly to avoid false triggers.

How long do the batteries last?

Battery life depends on how often it triggers. A busy driveway drains it faster than a quiet side gate.

Can it control lights other than Hue bulbs?

It is built for the Hue system. Non-Hue lights need a Hue-compatible plug or switch to be controlled.

The sensor and its mounting hardware. Batteries and the Hue Bridge are not included.

Our take on the Philips Hue Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor

The Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor is a battery-powered, wireless motion detector that triggers Hue lights automatically through the Hue Bridge. It is built for outdoor use, so it suits driveways, patios, porches and side gates where you want lights to come on as someone walks by. It is a dedicated outdoor unit rather than a general-purpose security sensor, so it trades detection range for tight Hue app integration and weather-ready housing.
