Hue motion sensor on Ikea Zigbee bridge

Walter1 · February 23, 2019, 11:14am

I use Windows 10.
In paperUI I installed the Trafri and Hue binding. Have the Tradfri part working. However it cannot find the Hue sensor. According to the binding it should be supported. I thought when having a Zigbee (Ikea) bridge it should detect the Hue Presence Sensor but it doesnt.

hue:0107

A motion sensor providing presence detection.

Is it supported or am I doing something wrong here ?
thanks

The Tradfri bridge is not a generic Zigbee bridge. I don’t think that you can add other Zigbee devices via the IKEA Bridge.

On the other hand, it is possible to operate the Tradfri bulbs (when updated) with the Hue bridge.
But ONLY the Tradfri bulbs, not other Tradfri devices.

See here, which devices are supported from zigbee binding.

Only supported:

-Tradfri bulbs, tradfri motion sensor
-Hue bulbs, Hue motion sensor

Thanks I assume you gave a zigbee stick as well. Do you recommend one brand/model?

No, unfortunately not. I’m using the Hue Bridge with all kind of Hue bulbs, Hue motion sensors, Hue dimmer switch, Hue Tap Switch, Innr bulbs and Osram/Sylvania bulbs. I’m very happy with it.
