feeling the movements

Counting on a very basic design and being able to be fitted by adhesive tapes in the most varied surfaces, the motion sensor Philips Hue was made to work in conjunction with the Hue Bridge and with the brand's smart lamps.

In the upper right corner of the app, three options are displayed: the first has a “list” symbol, the second looks like a “color palette”, and the third is like a “color drop”.

A "list” shows the lamps in the room. THE "color palette" represents mode "Scenes”, there are several programmed intensities and colors, such as “sunset”, “twilight” and several others. At "colored drop” will appear a circle with all the colors — in this option, you can configure the light with the intensity, color and brightness you want.

All of these selections are for modifying the light set of a room. The user can then configure, together with the activation of the motion sensor, which of the house's lamps will be activated. During use with the application, I found the configuration easy to carry out, which adds positive points to the device.
