Pros and cons

According to our motion sensor expert

  • You get notified when a door or window opens, even when you're not at home.
  • When you enter, you can let your lights turn on automatically.
  • Hue Secure sensors fit next to all windows and doors as long as you have a flat surface for the sensor.
  • You need a Hue Bridge for this sensor, so you can connect it to other Hue products.
  • The sensor works with replaceable CR2 batteries, these last 2 years after which you replace them.

Description

Secure a window or door with the Philips Hue Secure Contact Sensor 2-pack. You can place the sensor directly next to your door or window. This way, it notices that a door is opening. You then receive a notification of the open door in your Philips Hue app. Connect the Philips Security sensors to your Hue smart lights and your lights turn on when a door or window is open. This way, you don't forget to close them and the light in the hallway is already on when you enter. You can place the magnet on both sides of the sensor, which makes it suitable for all windows and doors.

Currently not what I expected, hoping for good updates

  • Easy installation
  • Hue quality
  • Too few options in the app

Installation is easy and fast, as you expect from Hue. But the app still has a lot of work to do. As others have already indicated, you must take action yourself as soon as a sensor is opened. So if you are not near your mobile phone, your house will still be emptied. It would be nice if an alarm would go off or the lights would flash without manual intervention. This also brings me to point 2; you cannot add a siren, except for the expensive Hue camera. So when the contact is opened and you are not near your phone, only the light goes on (and when the thieves close the door again, it also goes off again). And it's a shame that you can't distinguish between what the sensors do when the alarm is enabled or disabled. Currently, the lights in our house turn on as soon as a contact is opened to deter burglars. But since you cannot distinguish between on or off, this also means that if I open a door myself, the entire house immediately lights up. Especially during the day, with the alarm turned off, quite pointless. Hopefully there will be separate sirens from Hue and a lot more options in the app, because at the moment I don't see this as an alarm. Waking up at night from a short push notification and then having to take action yourself is not convenient.

HUE is just good and keeps getting better!

  • Design. Very sleek and minimalist design. Both for the contact and the magnet.
  • Installed with supplied 3M tape or with screw connection.
  • Very easy installation.
  • Switching on and off (home / away) is not yet possible with geofencing based on your mobile phone. Do you expect this to be resolved in an update or have I not yet configured the App properly?

Didn't want too many different devices and already have quite a bit of HUE lighting indoors and outdoors. The HUE window and door contacts are affordable, easy to install, beautiful design, in two colors (white / black) and easy to connect with HUE lamps in combination with. functional automation (for example, switching on a lamp when a door or window opens). You will always receive a notification in the App when a window or door opens or closes.
