If you have a Costco membership, it's available online. Two for $80, new. All day, everyday.

They were actually not available for at least 2 months before Christmas.
I knew it because when I wanted to buy them, only indoor one was available at Costco.
So, finally I bought the renewed from Amazon before Christmas.
Now indoor is not available at Costco.



The renewed from THIRD PARTY has been this price for many months or a year.

I bought it just a month ago from Tech Union (one of the sellers, same price), it came with brown box with official Philips Renewed Label on it, so it's manufacturer renewed, not seller refurbished. It looks new to me, just like another one I bought in retail box (open box)



First it's not a light (some reviewers thought it's a light).
It's more than just a motion sensor, it's also luminance sensor and temperature sensor.
It can be used to control Hue bulb or any Zigbee devices with capable zigbee hub.

Other than turning on lights under a certain lux value (rather than fixed time or sunrise/sunset settings) when anyone walk by my yards and driveway, using Hubitat, I also use them as motion sensors to send me alert if anyone pass by when I turn on the alarm mode and temperature sensor for real outdoor temperature. You can be creative to control anything with those 3 built-in sensors
(e.g. some people put the indoor one in fridge to use the light sensor to sense if the door is open and monitor the temperature)

Why not use the sunrise sunset plus 10-15mins automation? What Advantage do these provide over that? Just curious.

Be aware these detect at a long distance... even on the lowest setting. But they take a lot of movement to trigger at that lowest setting. At higher, default, setting they are so sensitive everything triggers them. I've used a dozen brands and models for long periods of time, in different ways... This is crap unless you have a very large outdoor area and you want any little movement to trigger it

Received mine and it is in essentially new condition, tested and works great! Main purpose is motion sensing, not so much the dusk to dawn for us.

Hope this helps those that may be on the fence about getting one Smilie

If you use an illuminance value you can accommodate for clouds and stuff. Plus you can turn your lights off when you are in for the night but use motion to turn them back on, lessening light pollution.

But I get what you are saying. A simple timer is quite effective. I didn't bother upgrading the photocell on my post lamp because "smart" automation didn't offer much more. But when it finally died I rewired to use a Shelly dimmer. Besides sunset/sunrise it slowly dims to a low light overnight but does go bright if Home Assistant notices wifey or I coming home.

Anyone have experience with "renewed" products? Saving $10 to take a gamble on a short warranty?
The 90 day warranty is a deal breaker for me on certain products, depending on how long the 'original' warranty would have been if I bought new.

For example, buying a 'renewed' hammer? Sure. there's hardly anything that could possibly go wrong.

Buying electronics that I'm putting outdoors? Maybe not.

I have a Health-Zenith motion detector that runs my floodlights (not wireless, not a true comparison). It eventually died after 18 months of being cooked by the sun, rained on, etc. The warranty was for 2yrs, and they replaced it for free.

Dont recommend this or anything that required a hub to run. Device should have its own wifi connection.

I have these with hue ambiance lights and have it set so they turn to a slightly above nightlight scene during sunset, motion triggers bright 6000k white light then dims gradually back down to dimmed after 1 minute. This has been very helpful with my eufy battery security cameras to trigger the motion detection and start recording. These hue outdoor motion sensors are fantastic at detecting motion from a very far distance. Ive had mine for about 3 years now and its still on the original battery working perfectly fine.

This is not a front page slick deal. Only a few bucks off for refurbished, while still more expensive per unit than the Costco pack.

This feels like a paid post but legally those have to be disclosed as "sponsored"

To the people that have these... What batteries do they use and what kind of run time are you seeing?

Can you hook this up with Home Assistant to do more than just Hue stuff? Like can I trigger off motion from this sensor to lock a door via Home Assistant?

I have not done this but you likely could. Could also add Hue integration itself to HA to trigger other automation.

I think you're confusing cloud control vs local control with hub vs direct connection.
