FAQs

What do I need to use a Hue contact sensor?

The Hue Secure contact sensor requires a Hue Bridge-controlled Hue setup, as well as the Hue app. If you wish to control your lights then you also need at least one Philips Hue light (sold separately). If you wish to use your sensor for security monitoring, then lights are recommended but not required.
Can I customize how my lights turn on when triggered by a Hue Secure contact sensor?

Yes. You can customize Hue Secure contact sensors to trigger different light scenes per room/zone you've selected.
How many Hue lights can I control with the Hue Secure contact sensors? 

A Hue Secure contact sensor can control up to three Rooms, a Zone, or even your entire smart lighting setup. It’s up to you! If you prefer to control only a subset of lights within a Room, we recommend first creating a Zone out of them, to get the most flexibility in terms of creating and selecting scenes for them
How can I add my Hue Secure contact sensor to my Hue setup?

You can add a Hue Secure contact sensor to your setup by going to the Hue App > Settings > Devices and tapping on the + button
Can I use the Secure contact sensor outdoors?

The Secure contact sensor is designed for indoor use only.
How can I go back to the factory settings of my Hue Secure contact sensor?

In case you want to restore the default configuration of the contact sensor, or if trying to remove undesired behaviors, navigate to the edit screen of your device and tap on the Reset button
Do I need to connect electrical wires to install the Hue Secure contact sensor?

No. The Hue Secure contact sensor is wireless and battery powered, so you won’t have to worry about any wires.
Can my Hue Secure contact sensors turn off lights?

Yes. Your Hue secure contact sensor can be set to turn lights off immediately when closing the door/window that was opened, or after a certain amount of time after it was opened. You can configure this via the Hue app
Where can I place my Hue Secure contact sensor?

You can use a Hue Secure contact sensor indoors within range of your setup. We recommend placing the magnet — the smaller piece of the sensor — on the part of the door or window that moves, so the door or window itself. Place the sensor itself on the door or window frame. You can place the magnet to the left or right of, or above, the glossy part of the sensor. we don't recommend installing it on steel or magnetic surfaces (such as speakers) because they can affect the sensor's performance. Be sure there's enough space around the sensor to remove it if you need to replace the battery. We recommend you test out the sensor before you permanently mount it

Crazy easy to use and consistent

The Hue Secure Contact Sensor was significantly easier and more consistent to use than I expected. There are two pieces, the main sensor and then the magnet. When they line up next to each other it registers the door as closed, and when it moves away it registers the door as open. It comes with both a screw-in mount as well as just a peel away sticker. The sticker was quite secure, and that’s what I went with. The only downside is that the sensor seems bigger than others I’ve seen and sticks out farther. But that’s the only drawback. It connected quickly and took less than 2min to install. Would recommend!
Easy installation, useful

I recently installed the Philips Hue Secure Contact Sensor, and I’m really impressed with how easy the setup was. It took just a few minutes to get it up and running and using the app is smooth and intuitive. I love the added sense of security it gives me knowing I can monitor my door easily. The only minor drawback is that the color of the sensor stands out a bit against my door, which makes it more noticeable than I’d like.
Needs a connection hub… 😔

This is a really cool product. We like that it will help us know if the door has been opened especially since our toddlers are skilled enough to open doors. You do have to have a hub to connect them to which is something we did not consider. We also liked the size of it. It’s small enough to be inconspicuous but it lacks camouflage since it’s white.
Simple, useful and easy to setup

Really liking these contact sensors so far. Setup was pretty straight forward and they connected easily with my hue system. I put on to my garage door and one to my backyard door and it’s nice having that extra bit of piece of mind while I’m away. They are small, pretty clean and don’t stand out too much once installed. I always like getting alerts when something opens, especially when I’m not home. Nothing complicated about them….. just a really useful little addition to my smart home setup.
Very efficient

I recommend this product as it is fairly easy to install and it’s currently helping my home be more safe as I get notifications when someone or something opens my door. Overall it was a fantastic product and the quality of the product doesn’t seem cheep either.

The app is easy to use and easier to power on and off. There’s no interference in the interface and the connectivity is very simple to set up and get everything going.

I received this complementary item from for an exchange for an honest review. This was so good. I love it so much. It was very interesting and very nice. It adds another security level to my house knowing that something has moving
