Successfully Integrating Philips Hue Motion Sensors with Zigbee2MQTT

After struggling for weeks to integrate my Philips Hue motion sensors into my Zigbee network, I finally found a solution that works seamlessly! :tada:

I had previously been using ZHA with Home Assistant, and the sensors worked like a charm. However, when I switched to Zigbee2MQTT using a SLZB-06 coordinator, the sensors wouldn’t pair at all. They were constantly showing as unsupported, which was frustrating to say the least. :person_facepalming::male_sign:

After some research, I stumbled upon a YouTube video where someone suggested temporarily connecting the sensors to a Hue bridge before removing them. I was skeptical, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I followed the advice, paired the sensors with my Hue bridge, and then removed them from the bridge. Lo and behold, they paired perfectly with Zigbee2MQTT! :partying_face:

This experience taught me the importance of persistence and the value of community knowledge. If you’re having trouble with unsupported devices, don’t give up—there might be a workaround out there waiting to be discovered. :bulb:

For anyone else struggling with similar issues, I’d recommend checking out the Zigbee2MQTT documentation and community forums. You might find a solution that saves you hours of frustration. Happy tinkering! :rocket:
