According to new rumours,Philips Huecould be adding motion sensing technology to its smart lighting devices. Taking a leaf out of WiZ’s book, Philips Hue looks to be expanding how its smart lighting works and responds to movement, helping users better control and manage their smart home devices.
Philips Hue is well known for its range of thebest smart bulbsfor both inside and outside of the home. While the brand was initially all about lighting, it has seen some major upgrades this year, likeintegrating Matter support to its Philips Hue Bridgeandadding its first ever smart cameras and sensors to its line-upof lighting.
Now, according to theHue Blog, Philips Hue has plans to turn its smart lamps into motion sensors to increase its products’ versatility. As stated in the blog, “there are already a number of ways to control the smart lamps from Philips Hue, via app, automation, voice control or with smart accessories such as the Hue dimmer switch or theHue motion sensor.”
It goes on to say that “there could soon be a magical new alternative to the motion sensor – and the Philips Hue smart lamps will be at the centre.” Rumours have stated that Philips Hue has been working on motion sensing features for years but the progress is unknown, and when we can expect to see this feature is unclear, too.

Earlier this year, Philips Hue sibling brand, WiZ launched a similar feature calledSpaceSense. WiZ’s SpaceSense technology automatically turns on the lights when you enter a room and off when you leave using Wi-Fi signals. Many Philips Hue lights rely on Zigbee rather than Wi-Fi (although you can connect to Wi-Fi using thePhilips Hue Bridge) so it’ll be interesting to see how the motion sensing technology will be operated.
Not only does SpaceSense use Wi-Fi signals to detect movement, but it also allows users to adjust settings to monitor motion in certain areas and over a set period of time. This feature typically needs two or more compatible lights in the same area for it to work.
