Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better overall, the Arlo All-in-One Sensor or the Philips Hue Motion Sensor?
The Philips Hue Motion Sensor wins overall, ahead on owner rating, warranty, connectivity, integrations and detection range. The Arlo All-in-One Sensor only wins on price.
What is the biggest difference between the Arlo All-in-One Sensor and the Philips Hue Motion Sensor?
Platform reach. The Philips Hue Motion Sensor supports Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings and Matter (via the Hue Bridge) on top of Google Home and Alexa, while the Arlo All-in-One Sensor is limited to Google Home and Alexa only.
Do both sensors read light and temperature?
Yes, evenly. Both combine motion detection with ambient light and temperature sensing in one small battery-powered body, so this is one area where they're tied.
Do either of these sensors work standalone?
No, neither does. The Philips Hue Motion Sensor requires a Hue Bridge, and the Arlo All-in-One Sensor requires a compatible Arlo Security System hub or keypad, since it has no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave or Thread radio of its own.
Who should buy the Arlo All-in-One Sensor?
Buyers who want the lower price and are already inside the Arlo, Google Home or Alexa ecosystem, without needing HomeKit, SmartThings or Matter.
Who should buy the Philips Hue Motion Sensor?
Existing Hue owners who want deep app customization (schedules, zones, dark-only triggers) and the widest possible platform support.
