In order to get it working directly with SmartThings hub and not use the Hue hub you have to add a custom device handler, which is very simple to do if you follow the instructions.

* In the video he was able to Scan nearby and "see" the motion sensor as a thing. When I did it recently, it was automatically added to an Unassigned Room and I never saw a thing listed. I spent a lot of time factory resetting the sensor thinking it was broken or not working. If you don't see it when you scan, check your unassigned room.

Your comment cannot be blank.

I believe these hue motion sensors are getting an upgraded model soon/have already.

Could they be clearing stock or is this the new model?

Still expensive IMO *Looks at the 75+ hue lights and accessories I already have*
I use these to connect directly to SmartThings hub, so you don't need to have a Hue Hub for automation. Just need to scan the device, then change the device's type on the SmartThings Groovy IDE website.

You can see instruction on Youtube under "Setup Your Hue Motion Sensor With Samsung SmartThings"

To save someone's time, because I was really confused when setting it up the first time. When scanning nearby, it didn't find any devices, and I thought it wasn't working. What happened was as soon as I took the battery plastic tab off, it auto added to the SmartThings when clicking on Scan nearby. It will be listed under unassigned room as a thing.

Yes, Hue sensors are widely regarded as being one of, if not, the best motion sensor in smart home tech. If you're in the Hue ecosystem at all, they're a must buy at $30. They really do hardly ever go on sale.

I've literally never had a single one not respond properly. They have an immediate response & battery life seems great on them (haven't had any die in 2+ years).
agreed. I've got one of these, as well as a SmartThings motion sensor. Tried both for my garage when i opened the door. The hue (through hue hub) was much faster to respond. i haven't attempted to connect directly with the ST hub but haven't felt the need, it's perfectly fine how it is for me. nice to see this finally go on sale too

Quote from AndrewinMD :
I had a similar problem with the motion sensor nightlight on the Nest Aware. If the dog was restless, she would set it off multiple times, and it's enough light to wake us up. Thankfully, we put some 4" memory foam in there from a discarded mattress pad (from parents), and she no longer leaves her bed at night.
yeah, senior dog that now has a heart condition (will no longer stay in our bed/could be vision issues starting too). Have only recently gotten her into a routine to stay on a mattress similar to what you mentioned on the floor. It's gotten better, but, occasional nights like that when the hallway lights pop on.

Maybe he needs to go potty if he is pacing?
I wish it was that simple. The good ole days when that was the only problem it could be.

Kinda ignorant on this, can this be used to trigger non-hue lights like my Lutron Caseta switches?

If you connect them to a automation hub such as SmartThings hub, then yes you can control whatever that is connected to that. I use it to turn on/off Caseta switches and plugs with conditions and time. Could even turn on my Samsung TV with motion if I wanted to.
