Since smart lighting<\/a> has become a common feature for modern houses, new and improved products are continually being marketed by smart home manufacturers. Philips Hue is a leader in the space, introducing a number of new products in the category at CES 2019 that are sure to shine outside many homes in the coming year. Out of all the products presented, their showstopper at CES 2019 was the Philips Hue Outdoor Sensor.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Philips Hue Outdoor Sensor is a wireless and battery-powered motion sensor, quick to detect movements in its surroundings and then automatically turn on your lights. It is also weatherproof \u2013 rain, snow and wind are not a problem. Plus, it can be installed easily in a matter of minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This device requires the Philips Hue bridge, which allows you to personalize your outdoor lighting system through the Hue app. In the app, you can choose which indoor or outdoor lights you want to switch on when the sensor is triggered. You can also set your indoor lights to automatically turn on at night, deterring break-ins by giving the impression that someone is home.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Philips Hue Outdoor Sensor will be available in February 2019 with a retail price of around $65.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
