Hue Motion Sensors Dropping since last update

Here's what I did:

  1. Factory reset the sensor, but do not delete the Hubitat device.
  2. Pair the sensor right next to the Hubitat. It will pair back as the original device.
  3. Use "http://hubitat-ip-address/hub/zigbee/getChildAndRouteInfo" to confirm that the sensor showed up as a direct child device of the hub (so it wasn't using another zigbee device as a repeater).
  4. Keep a log window open and press Update Firmware.

The process can take 10 minutes to several hours, but you should see things in the logs immediately. The logs will come from the Hub not the device (so look for sys:1)

This thread has a lot of useful zigbee firmware update information (including about Hue motion sensors)
