How do I set up a motion sensor to control a light switch

Apps & Clients

I have upgraded to the new app (and wish I had not). I purchased a SmartThings SmartSense Motion sensor and a GE in wall Smart Switch. I have added both to my system without a problem. I can see when motion is detected on the app and from the app I can turn on and off the light switch

How do I get the sensor to turn on and off the light with motion? It use to be very easy to go to the device and edit it. When I edit the device, all I can do is rename it or change the icon. I know this has to be simple (well it should be simple), but 45 minutes of looking on the SmartThings site has not helped me.

Find add new device (three dots)
Select smart apps…
Smart things recommends…
Then smart lights…

Once this is initially installed, you can add additional automations by re-selecting smart-lighting in the smart apps tab in the home view.
