Philips Hue Motion Sensor
The bathroom was therefore not the ideal space
there is no movement it may also be dark
the temperature sensor is a bit odd
daylight the lamps do not need to be switched on
Response time can also be a bit slow
the device is triggered when it sense something moving nearby
the motion sensor is turning lights on unnecessarily
the mount not the sensor which is magnetic
an admittedly niche device
the lights will come on within a half-second of motion being detected
The Motion Sensor requires a Hue Bridge to control Hue lights
You cannot place the sensor completely flat against the wall
location determination is not yet accurate enough to automatically switch the lights on and off
not a completely stand-alone motion sensor
the lamps do not have to be switched on
you always need a Hue bridge to use the sensor
it will inevitably not be as responsive as you want
only costs a little more than the Philips Hue sensor
using an Echo device as a chime occasionally suffers from delays
just doesn t work as well as the official Philips Hue motion sensor
