Does anyone know what motion sensors are compatible with routines?

[whatuk]

Hi, I was wondering is anyone knew what motion sensors are compatible with routines?

I bought a nest camera, only to find out that it can't trigger anything. Which isn't very helpful as a security device. 

So now I was looking into motion sensors. It seems like the hue one would work, and maybe the eve as that works with matter. But then I can't find any definitive information on it, and it just seems super sketchy. 

Does anyone know?
Thanks!

hi @whatuk 

i have hue motion sensor conected to google home. It can be use as a triger to start automation.

At one of my home i have it conneted using matter and in other as a google service, works in bouth cases

Ah amazing, thank you Kacperhq. Out of interest, do you know if it works on its own without the bridge?

@whatuk 

Hue can use matter only when connected to hue bridge. Eve motion sensor should connect directly using matter as far as I know 

[whatuk]

Ah I see. Thank you! Is there any actual info from google on this? They seem to say you can do it, but then there's no actual information on what's compatible.

And also just to confirm, if I wanted a light and a song to play when the sensor detected motion, that would work?

Yes it's possible.

I have TUYA sensors for door and motion, the application Google Home detects them, but cannot use them as a trigger under automation👎

Ah really. Yeah maybe that's the "matter" thing. I think I'll wait until eve release the matter updated versions.
