So, if you're wondering about the battery life of the Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor, here's the scoop. It's powered by two AA batteries, and according to Philips, these should last about two years with typical use.
Our research backs this up, with several folks mentioning they don't need to swap out batteries often, getting a couple of years before needing replacements. Just keep in mind that the actual battery life might change based on how often the sensor detects motion and the weather conditions it faces.
If it's in a busy spot or exposed to harsh weather, the batteries might not last as long.
Now, the good thing is that the design of this sensor is both weather-resistant and energy-efficient, which helps stretch out that battery life. To make sure you're getting the most out of each set of batteries, you might want to place the sensor where there's a moderate amount of activity.
And don't worry about unexpectedly running out of juice—the Philips Hue app can alert you when the battery is low, so you can replace them in time.
All in all, it's a handy little device that doesn't demand much maintenance while keeping your outdoor lighting smart and responsive.
