Philips Hue Motion Sensor: Putting the auto in home automation

The Philips Hue Motion Sensor is a great addition to any Hue light setup.



If you have Hue lights in your house, you're going to want to check out the Philips Hue Motion Sensor — trust me.

This tiny white box solves one of the most annoying hurdles in home automation: that you need some sort of controller to interface with your devices (your voice for Siri, your finger for an app, a remote from the manufacturer, etc.).

Hands- (and voice-) free is the way to be!

I've unashamedly gone all-in on home automation, and one of the critiques I hear regularly from guests is "it's much easier to flip a light switch than to use a phone." Fair point — it's one I'm reminded of every time we host someone and I have to give them a tutorial for controlling the lighting.

With the Philips Hue Motion Sensor in my home, I just have to to tell them not to worry about the tiny white box looking down from above, mwahahahaha! Kidding, I tell 'em exactly what it is and what it does...
