Almost got some of these to replace my xiaomis but that's not going to work. Might try get some IKEA outlets to see if that fixes my woes with Xiaomi.
Yeah I saw a story about smartthings and Ikea working together. I'm curious what it took to make that happen.

Hello, anything new about support Ikea Tradfri motion sensors? I cannot find anything
Nope, no support for the Ikea motion sensor.
Other hubs like Smartthings, Hue, Home Assistant with DeCONZ, etc will though. There is little interest from staff in supporting certain Ikea products.

Thats so silly :-/
For example this new dimmer on/off switch works extremely well on ST and it feels high quality and looks very nice.
At first I wanted to try to create my custom device handler for this device, but I do not see any events in the HE log. The device is paired but nothing is showing in the log.
Maybe @mike.maxwell can tell me if it is even possible to create custom device handler for this type of devices? Or maybe if they can look into it? I got that there are better alternatives for motion sensors than Ikeas but this button for that price is excellent
Probably, join it and see what happens, I'm tired of buying Ikea products that don't work for one reason or another...
If it joins as Device, or even it joins as something else, switch it over to Device, open live logs and see if it spits anything out when you activate it.
If so, then I'll look, at it.
I have far too many drivers in Q to continue expirementing with Ikea stuff...
Also try generic zigbee motion, hit configure, if that doesn't work try the hue motion, hit configure, if that doesn't work, bin it...

You know home assistant collaborated with Ikea for their integration. Home assistant said it was very helpful. Have you tried reaching out to them?
Did they do a hub to hub integration?
At first, thank you for your response!
Both Ikea Motion Sensor and their new dimmer button can be paired easily. By default they connect as device.
No luck with Motion Sensor to get anything from logs - nothing. I tried set it as Device, then as different Motion Sensor and not a single line in logs.
The dimmer button is different. When I set it as Zigbee switch I can see number of buttons and battery state in the logs. But I do not see any click events :-/ I think that device handler can make it work?
I understand that supporting Motion Sensor is not a priority since there are other options in the same price range and even smaller (Xiaomi for example).
But the dimmer button feels high quality (material and feel of the clicks), it has two buttons on/off and also long press on them. And its cheaper than most of the others buttons, plus you can get it in one set with Tradfri bulb and then it is about 30% of price - its not a good deal, its steal!

So these probably won't work with Hubitat as-is; it's likely they use group broadcasting only or something that Hubitat doesn't support. A couple other Ikea products are like this, so it's not surprising. I'm guessing here, but if you have a ZLL bulb paired to Hubitat and want the motion sensor to control it in a semi-"dumb" fashion, you could probably still do that by linking the sensor to the bulb using Ikea's instructions (I think holding them near and holding the button on the sensor for about 10 seconds or until the bulb stops blinking) after having both paired to Hubitat. You'll lose any of Hubitat's ability to make it "smart" since you still won't see or be able to use it in Hubitat, but you can still use it with a Hubitat bulb that way--and the Ikea sensor has a few built-in options like timeout and light sensitivity (probably due to limitations of their own system), so you at least get some configuration.
These are not officially supported, either, so they are certainly not what Hubitat staff would recommend. 
That being said, many community members have been able to make them work. There is a large thread here dedicated to what you need to know to pair and keep them connected (Xiaomi & Aqara Devices - Pairing & Keeping them connected), but most of it is summarized in the first post and boils down to: be careful what Zigbee repeaters you use.
Hi All,
just checking if there's still no support for ikea motion sensor? Cheers
no there is no support for the ikea motion sensor and all signs point to no support in the immediate future
Thanks. @helene7t7!
could you please give your opinion in a good sensor?
I'm looking for humidity & motion sensor all in one, seems to have trouble finding such item.
I could only fine Aeotec multi sensor, it's pricey and Z-wave. I'm trying to stick with Zigbee only.
Cheers
Check NYCE, it's zigbee and it has 5 year battery life, several form factors, however cheap these aren't, but then you get what you pay for...
Iris 3rd gen
$34
I have other Iris stuff but not this specific one. But meets your requirements of humidity, motion, temp, works with Hubitat and decent price. Other Iris stuff I've used has been quality.
I swear that should be on your gravestone mike.

I have Aqara Motion sensors and they work great. They don't have humidity sensors build in but u can buy them separate. They are both fairly small and cost about 12 USD on Aliexpress.
