Philips Hue Motion Sensor

Model details

Additional useful information

Use this Scanual guide to identify Philips Hue Hue Motion Sensor, follow official setup and reset guidance, and match power, radio, mounting, hub, and regional accessories to model Motion Sensor.

Philips Hue Motion Sensor is an indoor battery Zigbee accessory with passive-infrared motion and ambient-light sensing for bridge-based Hue lighting automations.

Setup: Install two AAA cells, add the sensor near the Hue Bridge, configure its room, daylight threshold, sensitivity, and time behavior, then aim it across expected movement.

Reset: Use a pin to hold the rear setup control until the LED indicates a reset, remove any duplicate accessory record from Hue, and add the sensor again.

Troubleshooting: Replace both batteries, check LED response, adjust sensitivity and daylight threshold, move away from vents or direct sun, and verify that the associated room and time slot are active.

Compatibility and ecosystem boundary: This is the indoor model. Outdoor Sensor batteries, weather sealing, housing, and mount do not apply, and the sensor remains a Hue Zigbee accessory rather than a direct Matter or Thread endpoint.

Maintenance and accessory matching: Use two AAA alkaline cells and the indoor magnetic mount. Keep the PIR window clean and unobstructed, and avoid locations with condensation, direct heat, or strong sunlight.
