Description

Secure a window or door with the Philips Hue Secure contact sensor. 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.

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.
• 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?

In terms of dimensions, the sensor can be compared with the same type of sensors from other brands. In the photo it looks bigger than it is. The operation is fine, but in combination with the Hue app I think there are too few options. In behavior I can only set various lighting functions when the sensor goes off. Within the security area, I can have a push notification sent, but there remains a notification in the app to take action. To get there you have to click "All clear" yourself. Maybe I just want to know if the door will open. If you are completely "into" Hue and just accept what the app has to offer, it is a good product (that is why I recommend the product). Unfortunately not yet for me, so I have to wait until this sensor is also supported by, for example, Homey, because that is not yet the case.

Sensor itself is fine, App functionality is less

The Hue contact sensor itself works well and easily. Attachment can be done using double-sided adhesive strip or screws - the latter are not included - I have not yet managed to find suitable (small) screws where the back plate of the sensor can still be closed, but the adhesive strip works fine. I am less happy with the Hue Secure functionality of the app. If the sensor is activated, you will only receive a notification via the app - then you as a user must manually take action, such as flashing Hue lights. It would be better if this happened automatically, or at least you had the option to do this automatically or manually. If an alarm occurs, you are not always able to respond, for example when you are sleeping or driving, and it would be nice if the alarm went off automatically. However, this is not a shortcoming of the sensor but of the application and I hope that this will be corrected in a next update (I believe the app has more shortcomings regarding alarms, but they do not relate to the sensor so I will leave them out here)

Smart sensor

• Adjustability
• Easy installation
• May have multiple adjustable actions

The Hue contact sensor is extremely easy and quick to use. This can be mounted via the (sturdy) adhesive or via self-provided screws.
Installation via the app itself also went without any problems.
You can set your own safety (on/off/lights...). Once the sensor has been activated for security, you will receive a notification via the app (when the door/window opens... and also when it closes again). You must further initialize the next action yourself: Call the European emergency number / Call the contact person / Declare everything safe / Switch on the emergency lights (flashing)
I have been looking in the Hue app itself to make the lights flash immediately by default, but I have not (yet) discovered this option. Especially if you were (digitally) unreachable for a while (or there was no mobile phone nearby) during a (possible) burglary, it would be good to flash the lights immediately instead of waiting for your interaction...
The sensor works perfectly and the notifications are coming in well, so I am very happy at the moment.
