Q: I want this to control spotlights in my front yard, but I don't want the lights to come on every time a car goes by. The driveway is about 2 and a half car lengths long. Does anyone have experience with this type of installation and setting sensitivity?

A: When I first set my sensor up, it did activate from the street, which was about 100 feet from the sensor. However by easily adjusting the sensitivity in the app, I was able to limit activation to a radius of about 10 feet.

Q: How many lumens?

A: No, lumens, this is a motion detector.

Q: Can I turn this off from the hue app? What kind of range does it have? Thanks for any info.

A: You can use the app to control this sensor include a time frame for when it is active. Mins is sensitive over 50 feet.

Q: Is this to activate lights or sound or both? What does it pair with? I want to hear a chime or sound when someone comes to my front door.

A: One way to do this would be to buy a Philips-Hue Smart Plug. - Plug it into any working electrical outlet; then, - Link it automatically to your Philips-Hue Hub; then, - Link the Smart Plug to activate when your Philips-Hue Sensor near your front door senses motion; then, - Plug in any sound-making device you choose (for example a radio; a cassette tape recording of barking dogs). Your Hue Motion Sensor doesn't recognize WHAT you plug into the Hue Smart Plug. Once linked to your Hue Hub, the Hue Motion Sensor can be linked to several Hue devices in and around your home (Hue light bulbs, Hue Smart Plugs, for example). When the Hue Motion Sensor senses movement, it instantly "shares" that information with your Hue Hub, and the Hue Hub instantly turns on whatever Hue device you have chosen to be linked with the Hue Motion Sensor. The Sensor is just a tool. The Hub is the "brain" that instructs the Hue devices to carry out the simple automation that you created via your Philips-Hue App on your smart phone or tablet. Per your question, that simple automation could also include how long you want whatever device you have plugged in to your Smart Plug to be ON. If you set it for a minute (for example), the Hue Hub, upon being notified of motion detection, would turn on the electricity flow to your Hue Smart Plug for one minute, and then turn it off. YOU set the volume on your plugged-in noise box. Again, the Hue Hub doesn't know or care what non-Hue electrical device you have plugged into your Smart Plug. It could be a radio, an electric blanket, a lamp, for example. All the Hue Hub does is receive the motion instruction, and turns the Hue Smart Plug on (and then off), per your automation.

Q: Unlike other products in this category, I don’t see where the SPecs indicate the lumens or brightness. Is that because we buy the bulb separately and choose our own?

A: This is not a light. This is simply a motion sensor that you can use with your existing hue lights to have them turn on or change effects when motion is detected.

Q: What batteries does it run on?

A: Included 2 double A batteries. Supposed to last 2 years
