Hue Motion Sensors Help - Motion works (No temp/lux/etc)

Hardware
1

Good morning everyone,

I’ve been searching the web and haven’t been able to find a solution for my issue so I figured I’d reach out to the experts here. I originally used VLAD’s tutorial to get the Hue motion sensors added to Hassio and I was able to get the motion status added in the Hassio front end with no problems at all.

The problem that I’m having is that I don’t have any entities to show items like temperature, light level, battery level, etc. If I click on the sensor from the screen shot above, I can actually see all of that data so I know it’s able to be accessed.

I’ve tried adding various extensions at the end of the existing entity like _temperature and _lux but neither worked. I’m hoping this is something super simple that I’m just overlooking but I would definitely appreciate any time and help you all would be willing to offer to help me get past this small hurdle.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Is anyone able to offer any assistance with this?

You need to create template sensors in order to access these entities. From my configuration.yaml:

  - platform: template
    sensors:
# Batteries in motion sensors
      downstairs_hallway_motion_battery:
        friendly_name: 'Downstairs hallway motion sensor battery'
        value_template: '{{state_attr("binary_sensor.downstairs_hallway_motion_sensor", "battery")}}'
        unit_of_measurement: percent

# Light levels from motion sensors
      upstairs_hallway_light_level:
        friendly_name: 'Upstairs hallway light level'
        value_template: '{{state_attr("binary_sensor.upstairs_hallway_motion_sensor", "lx")}}'
        unit_of_measurement: lux

(I haven’t bothered with the temperatures, but I think you will get the point from the above examples.)

I have followed your example but I don’t get the battery level value.
When I click the entity ‘Vardagsrum sensor battery’ after server restart there is no value …
What have I missed?

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      vardagsrum_motion_battery:
        friendly_name: 'Vardagsrum sensor battery'
        value_template: '{{state_attr("binary_sensor.vardagsrum_sensor_motion", "battery")}}'
        unit_of_measurement: percent
