Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it can be be programmed to work during a specific time and when your home or not.

Also, through Philips hue app you can adjust the daylight sensitivity, which can only allow the sensor to work at certain light levels.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, it can't sense when other light sources are present. You could set the hours you want the sensor to turn lights on as part of the setup, so that's a bit of a work around.
