Pros

True you give up some functionality if you bypass the hub and bulbs (they've got amazing color functionality) but it works just fine. I want the garage lights to come on when i pull into the garage.

Phillips has a screw held backing. Thingverse has some great corner mount solutions if you know someone with a 3d printer. They even make it possible for you to use the same screw on the sides of the magnetic backing.

Both motion sensor are very responsive (as good as the famous lutron caseta sensors that i also use).

I am not using the philips hue bridge but instead a hubitat elevation c-7 hub.

Sonoff takes a cr2450 coin battery, while the philips takes two regular aaa (if i remember right).
