    Got one of these in the last deal, for me it makes the linked lights go haywire outside of the motion detection hours. Disabled it and everything works fine again

      Have you checked the basement for a crazed Korean dude?

    • Rocket on 14/07/2024 - 10:20

      Same, I’ve had one for a couple of years. Placed in hallway to turn on lights overnight, but all lights go haywire when linked. Disconnected it, but still creating issues.

  • bcYield on 13/07/2024 - 22:38

    $40 for a motion sensor. But I like the magnetic base.

    I bought 4 of these in the last deal, 3 of which died

  • dammit on 14/07/2024 - 00:24

    Are these worth it for hue quality/reliability - or cheaper alternatives out there?

      I bought the ikea one for $15, seems to work fine so far with my setup, using zigbee2mqtt and home assistant

      Aqara P1 is on par with this. Ikea ones work for basic functions but has a longer interval between detection.

      Worked better for me than the aqara ones I used to use (better sensitivity and range) plus it has a built it light sensor. Use it paired with home assistant and trigger it only if the room is dark enough.

      • OldSchoolHarry on 14/07/2024 - 12:56

        Aqara P1 also has light sensor. I think you might be referring to older Aqara (not P1) sensors.

    Is it cheaper in terms of energy costs to leave the lights on 24/7 than to buy a motion sensor?

    • Mixhael on 14/07/2024 - 00:56

      Very rough maths, but at 31 cents per kilowatt hour, to recoup a $40 sensor:

      0.03 cents a watt
      10 watt led light
      0.3 cents an hour
      7.2 cents a day
      0.072 dollars fits into 40 dollars 555 times

      555 days of light being turned off to break even, not including the cost for the battery for the motion sensor.

      I'd say you get this for the convenience

      • MagnamoniousRex on 14/07/2024 - 09:25

        More valuable is the ability to tie them into a broader automation that can work out if anyone is home.

        With LED lights they basically run for so little money it's irrelevant. Heating/cooling though, that can be literally dollars per day. If your home automation system can work out if anyone is home, it can turn these off when people aren't around.

        For me, I ping my phone and my wife's phone, and check the motion sensors for motion. If all of those come back false, I turn off all the heating and cooling, and it turns back on when it detects somebody is home again.

      • Captain Cheapskate on 14/07/2024 - 09:25

        thats for 1 light? so in my case where I have 4 lights, I could expect to break even in roughly 138 days?

      One spot I use it is in the hallway to the kids toilet, it turns on at a low level and off again about 2 mins later. Another is in our pantry, turns on strip lights and off again when no movement. More so for ease of use than anything personally.

    • bargainshooter on 14/07/2024 - 10:36

      Nothing in the Hue range is about saving energy or reducing running costs. It's all about convenience, entertainment and functionality.

  • Lord Ra on 14/07/2024 - 03:13

    Do I need special bulbs for this? How do the bulbs talk to this sensor?

    I want to have an led baton for really bright light in the garage when I drive in or out. Atm, it's just a tube light controlled by the switch.

  • Elpres on 14/07/2024 - 06:56

    I had a couple of these outside under eaves controlling porch lights. Worked great.
    Also used a couple for lighting stairs / hallway to the bathroom at night.

  • y2k on 14/07/2024 - 07:16

    I have a bunch of these and love them, but I don't like that while you can override them with a Hue light switch if you want a different brightness level occasionally, they instantly revert back to the sensor's scene brightness when it times out.

    Eg let's say if you have set your front entrance lights to be dim at night for when you walk through the home and others are asleep. but occasionally you all go out and come home at night and went full brightness. You can use a Hue switch to override but if you've set the scene to stay on for only 1-2 minutes, then the lights will still suddenly dim.

    Anyone got any clever workarounds? There was a hue Lab Alexa skill but I found it was very unreliable esp when you no longer wanted it.

  • Jimothy Wongingtons on 14/07/2024 - 07:25

    Can it be used to just send notification of movement detected?

    • Shekhars on 14/07/2024 - 07:35

      Yes. They added this functionality recently in security settings of hue app.

  • aarick on 14/07/2024 - 13:52

    Wow, that's expensive for a motion sensor
