I need an outdoor temperature sensor, and have narrowed my choices to two:
The Sensative z-wave+ outdoor temperature/lux sensor
The Philips Hue outdoor motion sensor
The Hue outdoor motion sensor is $10 cheaper, but I don't know if its temperature sensor is exposed to Hubitat when the motion sensor is directly paired to Hubitat.
Actually, that particular sensor I only use for lux.
It's quite high up on a wall in a seriously hot suntrap area (south facing wall)
Unfortunately, it's only about 12-15 C outside right now
Is this paired direct with Hubitat rather than the Hue Bridge?
I'm in the UK and looking for a way to report outdoor temperature, and having lux on this too is a nice extra!
I have all my Hue motion sensors etc connected directly to Hubitat
The only devices connected to my Hue Bridge are the bulbs and I think one dimmer.
Connecting the sensors directly to Hubitat gives you additional features (like Lux and Temperature) which do not present themselves when connected to Hubitat via the Hue Bridge connection
I just got a Philips Hue Outdoor motion sensor on Amazon that was said to be a refurb. However, I can't seem to get Hubitat to recognize it. I did get the Philips Hue bridge to connect to it, just to check that it can be made to work, and then I deleted it from the Hue app and tried again with Hubitat. Still no joy. I tried holding down the button for various lengths of time, and I see the sensor flashing various colors, but I can't seem to find documentation on what it all means, and none of the modes seem to make it discoverable by Hubitat. Any clues on what to try?
