Are they marked on sale in store or do you have to get it price checked?

Does not have a hue bridge but this sensor with device handler in my ST, does not work very well and there is delays too when turning on lights after motion.

I have this sensor connected to hue bridge, works perfectly no delay

Should add a YMMV to title or description. Doesn't apply to all target stores according to brickseek, nearest one to me with the 50% off is 100 miles away

They were all marked clearance. I found the motion sensor and bridge locked up in a clearance end cap cabinet in the electronics area. The switch was mixed in with other clearance stuff on a separate end cap and not locked up.

This is great for it's specific purpose but you are hamstrung by the Hue interface. basically, this can only act as a motion sensor and only turn things on, then turn them off. Great if you have dedicated lights, but if you have something that you want to turn on at motion, but not activate if the lights are already on, you have to do custom programming using a specialized app.

My situation, I have accent lights in a movie room that I wanted to turn on when walking in so I would have some lighting getting to my seat. Also, sometimes when I'm playing games or typing, I want to have the lights on just to provide a little light. Problem is, the hue motion overrides everything. If I turn them on, then leave the room for a second or shift around in my room, the motion activates causing the lights to turn on, but turn off after a couple minutes.

I have to say, this is probably the best working Hue device I own. Have had one in my garage for more than a year, and it works perfectly by turning a hue bulb on as soon as it detects motion. Never a glitch.

Do you have to use their hub? Is it zwave or zigbee?

works great in the bathroom and also my stairwell, considering picking up a 3rd for my master walk-in closet. I'm so lazy, I know.

I've got one in my master bedroom closet, water closet, and kitchen pantry. It's fantastic not having to flip on the lights for those rooms that I only spend a small amount of time in.
