Dismantle the holder (one screw at the bottom), then loosen the 4 screws and remove the cover and you will see 2 x 2 AA batteries that you can replace. The cover comes off a little more easily through the seal! I hope I could help you. Greetings Bernd
The standard Philips Hue Bridge is sufficient to use the outdoor motion detector (12 m). The motion detector is compatible with the standard Bridge and does not require an upgrade to Bridge Pro.
The Philips Hue Outdoor motion detector only works fully when it is connected to the Philips Hue Bridge. The bridge is necessary to enable automatic control and the various settings via the Philips Hue app. Without the bridge, the sensor cannot perform the full functions such as automating the lighting and control via the smartphone or tablet.
Hello,
It depends on the number of boo accessories you have, the more bulbs and accessories you have the better it works because it acts as a relay for the zigbee, have a good evening.
No, the Philips Hue Outdoor motion sensor does not necessarily have to be located near the bridge to work. The sensor communicates with the Philips Hue Bridge via the ZigBee protocol, but it can be installed in different places in and around the house as long as it remains within the ZigBee network of the Bridge.
The sensor is wireless and battery-powered, which allows for flexible installation without having to place it directly near the bridge.
Yes, that is possible. However, the motion detectors do not talk to each other, i.e. if one of the detectors switches the light on first and then switches it off again after 5 minutes, it will do so after 5 minutes, regardless of whether you have walked past the second detector 3 minutes later.
If you can't find a spare part here at Digitec, I would probably ask Philips directly if they have anything like that in their range or if they can send it to you. And otherwise I can only think of AliExpress - you can usually find everything there 😅
Yes, the configuration is very flexible. After the movement action (e.g. white light), the hue lamps can be set to the previous status (e.g. red light), switched off or set to a new status.
