Hue's colour outdoor floodlight, and the one that makes sense if you already run a Bridge: a Zigbee light that sits on the same mesh as your indoor lamps and shows up in Home Assistant as a normal colour light. It needs the Bridge, there's no hub-free mode, and at about £148 on Amazon UK today it costs far more than the article's £89.99 figure. It's a lighting floodlight, not a security light, so there is no built-in motion sensor; pair it with Hue's outdoor motion sensor or a separate PIR in HA.
What can Home Assistant control on the Philips Hue Discover Outdoor Floodlight?
Controlled locally through the hue integration with a Bridge. Because it has no sensor of its own, motion-triggered behaviour has to be an HA automation or a Hue motion sensor routine.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the Philips Hue Discover Outdoor Floodlight work with Home Assistant locally?
