Hello everyone,
I picked up a couple Philips Hue Motion Sensors, mainly because of the built in Temperature and Lux sensor, but also because of the reportedly long battery life of 2+ years per pair of AAA batteries, I thought that would be great compared to my current Sonoff motion sensors that need replacement batteries every 3-6 months. All the other topics I found were either 3+ years old, or using the Philips Hue Binding with the Hue Hub.
I have a HUSBZB-1 Zigbee/Z-wave stick that I use for all my zigbee and singular z-wave device currently (6 door sensors, 3 motion detectors, and z-wave light controller)
I thought it would be as easy as it was with pairing the other devices, I placed the Philips Hue into pairing mode, hit Scan under the Zigbee binding in OpenHab, it immediately found the device and added it. Then I went into the device and under Channels to get the zigbee channel details which I copied alongside my other working sensors, but no go, everything about it is showing as NULL.
I really don’t want to have to get a Philips Hue Bridge just for a few motion sensors unless I absolutely have to, but thought I’d check here in case something I’m doing is wrong, or needs to be done differently.
Here’s my sensors.items file with a working motion sensor on top, and the philips hue motion sensor underneath

And channel details under the Things page on the OpenHab interface
Any suggestions?
