Because it's all setup and isn't broken. HubMesh would result in the exact same as I have now, after many hours of teardown and rebuild.
Although it's too late, Hubitat's ProBundle solves the distribution issue Steve had and I have three of them ready to release. Now I can just say, "Paste this URL into Bundles and click Import." and everything is installed at once. (One each ProBundle for HubConnect Server, HubConnect Remote and HubConnect Universal Drivers.)
In other words, I've still got items on my ToDo list, no matter how ironic
Not sure why. It just hasn't been on our roadmap. Part of that may be that our "production" hub is still ST and the lag was too high with zwave motions at the time. I've since added zigbee motions but never got back into the "would motion sensing be appropriate here?" discussions. We do have dumb motion switches in places like the utility room, just no smart motions yet.
My big motion use is in the master bath. From 10:30pm-5:am you enter and the night light across from the toilet comes on in blue at 40%. Just enough to not wake me up fully yet bright enough I won't miss. From 5:00am to sunrise, overhead lights come on at 5% and climb to 100% over the course of 10 mins. This allows us to get in there and not be blinded first thing. From Sunrise on, they come on a full and turn off after 10 mins of inactivity. Very useful... (Thought this might start you in a thought process on where you could use them) The other one is the 1st floor powder room. Kids never turn out lights, so it's handled by a motion sensor in there.
Sadly some in my family really don't like the idea and consider it being "controlled" somehow.. Also forget motion sensors in the bathrooms - creeps them out for some reason as well. Okay for the basement though..
Most of my (admittedly few) motion sensors are dumb... Most are in areas (closets, garage, low-traffic areas) where there just wasn't any good need to make it smart - simply not worth the $$ or hassle.
I needed to use a Hue outdoor motion sensor to solve a tricky placement issue, and I put a Caseta motion sensor in my laundry area because I already had a Caseta switch there.
I guess my point is you don't need to make it all smart - that's a very easy trap to fall into when you're starting out.
