Just got my first Hue motion sensor. I already have a Hue hub, but realized it insists on being associated with a room to provide automation. If I disable it in Hue hub, it’s turns off and HA can’t use it.
How can HA use this? Does it need a different hub? Is that an option? I do t have a generic Zigbee hub here (assuming that’s what it needs).
If you want to use it in HA only then two ways that I can think of:
1: get a zigbee stick for your HA and pair it directly.
2: add it to hue, add it to a room if forced too, but either create a dummy room or add it too a room but simply set motion action via hue app to do nothing.
I have couple of Hue motion sensors. They are connected to the Hue hub, but they are not associated
to any room there. Actually they appear as “Not configured” in the Hue mobile app. However the Home assistant Hue integration lists them nicely and I have automations connected to them.
