Hue motion sensor

Hi everyone, I've been away and pretty busy for a while but hope to get back into posting soon.

I just saw this article on new Hue bulbs but most interestingly a new hue motion sensor.

Hopefully the BLGW will be able to pick up data from the sensor soon and we'll be able to have an easy to install motion sensing capability! 😁
Thanks for the link. I didn't know this product existed.
They're out now- Amazon keeps trying to get me to buy them! 😁
I am following the crowd - bought my first Hue and Bridge as an experiment.

It's good! You'll love it.

Certain places also stock the bayonet version. It seems most places have the edison screw.

yes, Hue is, even without Beolink, great. i'll get my motion sensor on thursday. and i don't miss my bunch of lava lamps at all.

You can now order the bayonet through the Apple Store

I've been using a sensor at my office for a week now. It works pretty well. Setup is very easy with the Hue iOS app. You can set which scene to activate during daytime and select a different scene to activate at nighttime. You can select the length of time of sensing vacancy before the lights are turned off. A nice feature is that it will first dim the lights before turning them off. This gives you a warning if you've been too still at your desk so that you can wave your arm to keep the lights on. This has happened a couple of times. I believe that the sensitive can be adjusted to compensate for this. A find myself appreciating the sensor to turn the lights on hands-free when returning from court with my arms full of briefcases and files.

I received mine yesterday, installed them very easily and they are doing the job!!!

Thanks ed.

I also see they have the white ambiance. I picked up one of those for the bedroom yesterday.
