"Philips says you need at least three Hue lights to make MotionAware work. These don't necessarily need to be smart bulbs but can be light strips or other Hue light products, too. MotionAware won't work with third-party devices or battery-powered Hue lights. It was easy to set up in the demo. You need the Hue app to select the room and participating lights."
"While calibrating (a 20-second process), they'll blink once to confirm the setup process, and you're all set. MotionAware can be triggered by pets because it can only sense movements and cannot distinguish between humans and pets. The movement data is sent to the Bridge Pro, which analyzes it and applies AI algorithms to find the cause of the movements. You can also change the sensitivity, draw shapes around an area where you want MotionAware to work, and choose if you want to set up security notifications."
Bridge Pro introduces MotionAware, an RF-based feature that detects changes in Zigbee signals between bulbs and converts Hue lights into motion sensors without external hardware. MotionAware supports about 95% of Hue products made after 2014 and requires at least three Hue lights in a room; battery-powered and third-party devices are unsupported. Setup uses the Hue app with a 20-second calibration during which lights blink. Motion detection cannot distinguish humans from pets. Movement data is sent to the Bridge Pro, which applies AI algorithms to analyze causes. Users can adjust sensitivity, define detection areas, and enable security notifications with a Hue Secure subscription or a $1/month alert option.
