– i found it too sensitive and eventually discovered that wind blowing outside furniture covers was enough to trigger it whenever it was windy, now using electrical tape to mask off that area off and so far so good.
I’m sure that there are others on the market, but if you have Philips Hue kit, these are the ones to get. They work effortlessly. You can customise how it reacts depending on the brightness means the time of day. I suppose you could make it shine green if it detects movement before 20:00 and shine red after 20:00 if that’s what you wanted to do. There is also a potentially hidden feature. It has a temperature sensor built in so you can check what the temperature is like out there.
I have integrated this sensor with Home Assistant to provide notifications if there is motion detected in my garden. Battery lasts for ages, and can’t beat either the Hue indoor or outdoor sensors for reliability and ease of use.
Having light level and temperature is great for my Home Assistant light automations. Currently it is sat on the inside of a window as the signal is too weak to get through the wall, but hopefully adding a repeater will resolve this. Otherwise impressed.
