Non-supported devices often don’t work very well. That said, I have one setup on a hub with my other problematic Zigbee devices and it works relatively well with the following driver:
Lots of opinions on Zigbee devices. Since you are just starting out you have a perfect opportunity to stick with officially supported devices. Prefer Zigbee 3.0 compliant devices.
These are my gold-standard motion/temperature sensors since they were originally branded by Samsung but now cloned by Aeotec. They cost about double what the cheaper motion sensors cost but have always worked perfectly for me.

I have several of these Sonoff SNZB-03 motion sensors. They are one of the most inexpensive options - especially from eBay or Aliexpress in quantity with slow shipping. They have a reputation for sometimes giving false motion reports but I use one to turn on my workbench light and a few other locations where that is tolerable. They use an odd-size coin battery but Amazon has them, of course. I like the price but I am trending toward spending a little more up front and not having to fiddle later.

Check out the Third Reality brand on Amazon. They are well priced, follow ZigBee 3.0 exactly (no nonsense like Aqara, Ikea, Linkind), and best of all they use AAA batteries. After buying cell batteries and discovering half of them are dead right out of the box you will thank me. Trust me on that on.
I like these Zigbee plugs. Inexpensive and work well for me. Make sure you order the Zigbee model and not the WiFi model. They are not always clearly distinguished by Amazon vendors. They also function as Zigbee repeaters - which is important.

I have two of the Third Realty motion sensors and they work well. AAA batteries are definitely a plus. Some have complained about the oblong form factor necessitated by the batteries.

There are several options, but I would recommend using the built-in “Button Controllers” app. This app will allow you to set actions for each of the available buttons.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Just for testing I've configured it for simple 7 button mode and made all buttons to turn on the light. And it don't seem to work
Have you confirmed that the button press was received? Does it show in the device page? I find my cube to be quite a bit finicky with Hubitat. Sometimes it works, sometimes not…
