Very compact, smaller than other door sensors from other platforms. I like how the battery was included. However, it uses a size that one might not commonly have on hand at home. Sensor will work with the magnet in three different orientations allowing flexibility in installation.  Easy set up in the app.
All around a great product!

The Philips Hue Secure Contact Sensors are very good. One drawback is that I had to buy the Phillips Hue Bridge for them to be able to work. With the Phillips Hugh Bridge the range worked very well. They are very sensitive and the notifications are very prompt. 
Easy to use and pair contact sensor hub if you have the hue ecosystem

This is a great set of contact sensors that look sleek and modern it's also nice that you can connect them with different configurations like in the photos. One of the main things is that we need to have a Phillips hue hub to pair with but it is also connect able to the zigbee2mqtt protocol if you are tech savvy. Overall it is quite well made and performs well.
Useful especially with kids

The Hue Security Contact Sensor was easy and seamless to set up initially. However, the second sensor was more difficult to connect to the app and required a manual reset by inserting a pin into the tiny reset hole for about 10 seconds before it would connect. I also had to mount the second sensor differently because of the shape of my door frame, but once installed, both sensors have worked well. I find the sensors particularly useful for keeping an eye on my children. I receive notifications when they open either the front or back door, which lets me know when they have gone outside and reminds me to stay vigilant. The sensors are also useful when I arm the house before leaving. If someone opens a door, my indoor Hue lights begin flashing, which could help scare off an intruder, while I simultaneously receive an alert. Overall, despite a slightly frustrating setup with the second sensor, I find the Hue Security Contact Sensor very useful for both home security and keeping track of when the kids are going outside.
Great little sensor for extra home security

Great for a busy household!!! The performance is reliable, the app makes it easy to see when doors open or close and small size is discreet. I love the extra security and peace of mind it gives me.
Small and sleek!

Easy to install even with uneven doors/frame. I wish the app would alert when it’s open or closed, maybe it does and I haven’t figured it out yet. It was easy to connect to the app and quick.
Philips HueBridge is necessary

I feel so silly for not realizing these sensors are part of a larger system. The sensors cannot work if you do not have the Philips HueBridge which is sold separately.
To bulky

I wasn’t as happy with this but I think it may have been because it doesn’t go connected with any of my current security systems I use! They were a little to bulky and they didn’t work to will with how they would announce when the door opened.
Easy install

We love these sensors for our house! Super easy to hook and install even with small kids running around the house! Takes only minutes and you are done. Work very well and are fairly discreet.
