Technologies & Capabilities
Responsive PIR Motion Detection
The sensor reacts quickly to movement, allowing lights to turn on the moment someone enters a room and turn off after activity stops.
Built-In Ambient Light Sensing
With integrated lux measurement, the sensor activates lighting only when needed, helping reduce energy use and prevent unnecessary activation.
Hue Bridge Integration For Advanced Control
When connected to the Hue Bridge, the sensor supports multi-room control, time-based behaviors, and full scene customization within the Hue app.
Flexible Placement For Optimal Coverage
Its compact, wireless design and adjustable stand make it easy to place on shelves, walls, or corners to achieve ideal detection angles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the Hue Bridge to use the Hue Indoor Motion Sensor?
Yes. The sensor connects through the Hue Bridge to enable full lighting automation, room assignments, and scene control.
How do I add the Hue Indoor Motion Sensor to my Hue setup?
Open the Hue app, go to Settings, then choose Accessories. Select Add Accessory and follow the on-screen steps while pressing the setup button on the sensor. The Hue Bridge will detect it and guide you through assigning rooms, behaviors, and lighting rules.
Can I use the Hue Indoor Motion Sensor to trigger my smart lights on?
Yes. The sensor is designed for lighting automation and can turn lights on when motion is detected and off after inactivity. You can customize brightness, scenes, and timing rules directly within the Hue app.
Is it possible to adjust the sensitivity of the Hue Indoor Motion Sensor?
Yes. The Hue app includes adjustable sensitivity and daylight thresholds that let you fine-tune how the sensor reacts to movement and brightness conditions in each room.
Does the Hue Indoor Motion Sensor have a "Do Not Disturb" setting?
Yes. Through the Hue app, you can set time-based behaviors so the sensor behaves differently at night or during certain hours. This allows you to reduce brightness, change scenes, or prevent lights from turning on when you do not want them activated.
