*To set up MotionAware™, '''3 minimum compatible Philips Hue bulbs''' are required

*If bulbs are arranged in a coplanar arrangement (i.e a flat ceiling), then principals of [[wikipedia:Trilateration|Trilateration]] applies

*MotionAware functions through the principal of triangulation which utilizes the position of existing smart lights known positions to create an accurate position of the user in a 3D space.

*Concerns regarding privacy involves the need to share personal space in order for the feature to work.

=== No-Official Support of Triangulation/Trilateration ===

* The core intent of the technology of MotionAware'''™''' focuses on RF sensing as means of defining occupancy in a monitored space, however similar technology of space mapping utilizing consumer grade hardware is possible as demonstrated utilizing a similar method through the use of consumer grade wifi-router as demonstrated by researchers at [https://www.vice.com/en/article/scientists-are-getting-eerily-good-at-using-wifi-to-see-people-through-walls-in-detail/ Carnegie Mellon]<ref>{{Cite web |last=Cole |first=Samantha |date=2023-01-17 |title=Scientists Are Getting Eerily Good at Using WiFi to ‘See’ People Through Walls in Detail |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/scientists-are-getting-eerily-good-at-using-wifi-to-see-people-through-walls-in-detail/ |url-status=live |access-date=2026-20-02 |website=vice.com}}</ref>

* It is theoretically possible for given the hardware capabilities for Philips Hue bulbs to enable support for trilateration should it be needed to map out a 3D environment, though it will require a revamp on how the technology works as the bulbs supposedly does not collect XYZ data points; just presence detection.
