Phillips Hue Motion Sensors

These do not have native support in Home Assistant but you can use the Binary Rest Sensor to expose the motion and just a Rest Sensor for the rest. The Resource would be your hueip/api/userid/sensor# from the hue. You can get this following these directions Hue Developor

Also there are several places in my packages folders that you can find examples. I dont expose the resource as its private.

The Motion sensor have several values that you can get.

  1. Lux (Light Value in a room)
  2. Temp
  3. Motion
  4. Battery Level

Each one of these have a separate sensor number in your hue api

As you browse my config you can see where I average the temps to know the house temps. I use the lux values in automations to know where a light should come on. And of course motion to turn on the light
