How to connect Philips Hue Motion Sensor to Apple HomeKit

Native support

The Philips Hue Motion Sensor is a Zigbee PIR sensor with a built-in light sensor and temperature sensor. It requires the Philips Hue Bridge and automatically triggers Hue lights in the corresponding room. The light level sensor prevents unnecessary activations during daylight hours.

Via the Hue Bridge, appears in Apple Home as a motion sensor and ambient light sensor. Use in HomeKit automations to trigger any HomeKit-connected device on motion — not just Hue lights.

The verdict

Philips Hue Motion Sensor works natively with Apple HomeKit. You can add it using the manufacturer app and then link it inside the Apple HomeKit app without any third-party bridges or complex workarounds.

Step-by-step instructions

Use the manufacturer app to add Philips Hue Motion Sensor, then link the account or device to Apple HomeKit in the Apple HomeKit app. No extra bridge needed for native compatibility.
