Phillips Hue outdoor motion sensor. Their big, their ugly, but man are they good. They are also perfect for lux measurements.

Third Reality 3 in 1 multifunction night light with motion sensor and lux.

I’m a huge fan of this. Comes in both Matter and Zigbee versions. The Zigbee serves as a repeater. Due to its style, the plug can be extended via USB. It’s fantastic and very versatile!

Made by the same OEM as the beloved Iris V2 sensors and not too dissimilar but still actually available. :smiley:

Aeotec Zwave TriSensors are pretty hard to beat for speed, reliability and battery life.

I’d like to nominate ESPresence sensors, but I have to run them in Home Assistant and import them into Hubitat via HABridge.
