1. Philips Hue motion sensor

The motion detector recognises whether someone enters a dark room or leaves an illuminated room. In the first case, it activates the light with the brightness and colour temperature you have programmed. So if, for example, the children have to go to the loo at night, they are not dazzled by bright light but are guided through the corridors by soft lighting. In the second case, when someone leaves a room and no one is moving around, the sensor gradually dims the light by 50 per cent before switching it off completely. Requires a Philips Hue bridge. 

What our customers think

Pro

  • Magnetic attachment, temperature sensor, small
  • Works great, price also top
  • Simple "installation"

Contra

  • A little expensive
  • iOs: Philips Hue app version 1 not set up for preparation/operation of the motion detector
  • high price for a relatively "clumsy" sensor (as always with Philips)

2. Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Detectors

With the weatherproof Philips Hue Outdoor Sensor, your indoor and outdoor lighting will automatically turn on or off. Thanks to the energy-saving daylight sensor, the device only activates when there is insufficient natural light. This way, your lighting is only on when it is truly needed. The sensor has a detection angle of 160° horizontally and 80° vertically, with a range of 12 meters. You can customize the response time of under 0.5 seconds in the Hue app. The package includes a mount that can be attached either facing forward or in a corner. The sensor is powered by batteries, eliminating the need for any disruptive cables. For optimal results, a mounting height of 1.5 to 2.5 meters is recommended. Batteries included.

8. Steinel Is 140-2

Live comfortably while saving energy. Enjoy improved quality of life, safety, and energy savings through the intelligent sensor technology from STEINEL.

Lights
on/off – automatically. Highly innovative sensors respond to movements and lighting conditions, turning the lights on automatically and off after a set time.

The IS 140-2 is considered a classic among infrared motion detectors. STEINEL has now enhanced this classic with even more features. With larger adjustable angles both horizontally and vertically for targeted detection around the house at a detection angle of 140°, increased range (up to 14 m), and more detection levels, the IS 140-2 allows for more comprehensive monitoring. The optical system is equipped with precise, spherical Fresnel lenses that enable more accurate person detection and consistently high range.

Adjustment options: Exact customization of the detection area through the horizontally adjustable optical system (90°) and vertically adjustable (180°). Additionally, the detection area can be limited using the included cover plates. The IS 140-2 features simple adjustment of time and twilight threshold via a rotary knob located at the bottom of the sensor lens. Thanks to the spacious, clearly laid out connection area, the infrared motion detector IS 140-2 can be wired easily and quickly, and mounted on a wall or corner – the suitable corner wall bracket is available as an accessory. The connection can be made either surface-mounted or flush-mounted.

9. Feller Pirios 180 R

The sensor with PIR technology - PIR stands for passive infrared - reacts to minimal local temperature changes, which it perceives as infrared light with a specific wavelength. It registers people, vehicles and animals entering the detection area while ignoring swirling leaves or moving branches. It also ignores fluctuations in the general temperature, for example due to solar radiation. In this way, the motion detector avoids faulty switching and ensures reliable detection of relevant objects.
