Hey all. I can´t make my philips hue motion sensor (black) work with smart things. When I install it in the app, it appears as a “thing” and cant don anything. I used a device handler in the past. But now it dosenst work - what to do ??

You can use a custom edge driver for it. You’re connecting it directly to a SmartThings/Aeotec hub, right? Not via a hue bridge? If so, try this one: [Edge Driver] Hue Motion Sensor (No Hue Bridge) if it still shows up as a thing, you may have a model with a slightly different fingerprint. If so,…

That thread ends with ‘Looks like the entire Hue-Range of sensors/sockets cut out working with Smartthings’… Is that the end of it, or should I try anyway? (I haven’t done any Edge driver installs at all yet. A bit cautious) Thanks.

Thanks for that. I was hoping to run the Philips Hue Outdoor Sensors directly with SmartThings, without the Philips Hue Hub. I see that Hubitat has been able to do it. Is it not possible with the new Edge SmartThings?? Thanks.

I believe the community edge driver from @blueyetisoftware supports the outdoor motion sensor https://community.smartthings.com/t/st-edge-philips-hue-lan-beta/249030/439 I can vouch for the driver being excellent, although I don’t have the outdoor sensor.

@skinnypope is correct that my driver supports the outdoor sensors. It does require a hub though. There is a different driver that supports the outdoor sensor using generic zigbee, but I don’t have a link to it. If you do use my driver with the hub, it has additional features such as the ability to …

Ah yes I missed the “no hub” part. In that case I believe the edge driver is this one that @JDRoberts already posted: https://community.smartthings.com/t/edge-driver-hue-motion-sensor-no-hue-bridge/231046 I have it currently working for Hue indoor sensors, but it is less featured than @blueyetisof…

Great. Thanks much. I should have time to try it today. And thanks for sharing your work!

I’m using the hue outdoor motion sensor directly with st with the camera due driver. At the moment I’m using as a lux sensor mostly. The motion sensor was generating too many false positive due to sunlight and clouds moving triggering it.

Ok, that’s good to know. So I take it there isn’t any kind of ‘sensitivity’ adjustment. Thanks
