HOT!
Cheapest it has ever been I think, apart from when John Lewis were giving them away free with other HUE purchases.

Tempted to get a couple for the halls, what's there angle of sight?

I'm not sure at the number, but the angle isn't the best. If I have it facing straight out, on top of a doorway, it struggles to detect movement below. I have to angle it down slightly. So it's not the end of the world. Come to think of it...perhaps if I increase the sensitivity.

I have a normal 3 bed terrace and wondered if it were mounted on the ceiling it would sense movement for the stairs and all 4 rooms which I guess maybe not

Love ours. In the hallway so when kids go to the loo in the middle of the night hallway and bathroom lights come on for 2 mins.

Yes have one and like it , ..............but....
a known issue is that they cant be programmed to return to a previous state, so for instance I tried mine in my lounge/kitchen area in case I needed a drink in the night, works fine but if you have the lights set as normal for the room then you move the sensor detects you then just switches them all off 2 mins later, so you then have to switch them all on again......
So have mine in the bedroom to turn bedroom and hallway light on if I need to go to the bathroom, again works fine , but I have the hall light on all evening, so if I happen to walk into the bedroom the hall light then switches off a few mins later.
As said it needs a return to previous state option so if you get up in the night it then switches the lights off , but if its earlier in the evening the lights go back to where they were...
Hope that makes sense...........

This might be something a third party app fixes.

Is this not fixed now under the Hue Labs option in the app?
