Smartthings Motion sensor for light triggering

IMO an important thing to consider here is latency and reliability. Latency in terms of how long it take to turn the light on when you enter the room and reliability speaks for itself. For this type of use case I would try to select components that run locally on the hub as opposed to those that run in the cloud as this will help with the latency and run if your internet is down.

I have several type of motion sensor, including smartThings and have never had an issue with the SmartThings ones. They run locally. The SmartLighting automation also runs on the hub. If you can use a light control that also runs locally. Here is link to the local devices FAW.
