This is a long shot, but im looking for couple of philips hue pir sensors (either indoor or outdoor or a combination would be ideal).

Cheaper the better ofcorse.

Is $50 too much for a new one from a retailer?

Reasonable to ask of course.

My strategy is simple as we have both a bunnings and a mitre 10 locally. Either will price match and discount by 15% so I have never paid full price for any Hue things as one is always 50c cheaper, so just go to the other place and price match. They don’t mind. I used to feel cheap doing it but nah, not any more!

Hoping to find something cheaper secondhand ideally. Where are you seeing them for $50 btw?

Been quite a while since they were 50$.
I've put 60 Hue devices (bulbs+accessories) into the new house.

Current prices for sensors in & out:
Amaz UK = 35/45 quid
Amaz Au = 75/78 $A
PBTech = 76/107
JBHiFi = 79/--
NLeam = 69/99
DSmith = 104/152
M10 = 68/96
Bun = 68/96

Yes, I did write a script to do fast checks on the usual sources ;-)

I have an indoor motion sensor thats never been used. Bought a few years ago and it's just sat in the box. Had good plans but I should probably part with it .I'm in Christchurch (although flying to Auckland Saturday)

I’m on the lookout for one more battery powered outdoor HomeKit compatible motion sensor. Have one Eve Motion and it works perfectly but they are pricey.
