G'day, just realised I may not have responded. Shelly Motion 2 is definitely supported (it's very similar to the Motion 1, but they seemed to have made some changes internally).

One thing people have noticed (including myself) is that a battery life seems a bit more limited than expected, and not sure yet why (I am looking at ways of addressing this though)

Appreciate the confirmation. Testing my Motion 2 with the demo version of your driver now. So far so good!

I see from other threads that you use the Motion 2 in your own home - are you using the default sensor settings, or are there any tweaks you would suggest making (e.g., to blind time, consecutive movements, motion detection threshold, etc.)?

I think there was mention up-thread of support for the new Shelly Motion 2.  Is that in the current (released) version of the driver?  I'm looking to get a couple of these sensors.  I have some use cases for the brightness intensity sensor, so I'm hoping that that value is accessible in programing.

Thanks.

+1. Just ordered a Motion 2 to test responsiveness and am curious whether it's supported in the current production version.

3 - people who have the cash but dont want to pay someone to do something they have an interest in and want to do themselves but they also dont want to cobble together a system with different parts that may just kind of work or takes forever to learn and change. - this is the audience for a more polished do it yourself system that currently doesnt exist.

A few tweaks to the UX (especially for programming - good lord) and C4 would be a near perfect platform for my needs. The extra money over a full DIY HA system got me: a purpose-built appliance, quality first party hardware, someone to handle the grunt work of the initial setup and ensure complex integrations (eg with security system) work, and free reign to tinker with whatever I want (thanks to a fantastic one-click jailbreak tool). 

Seems like a good value prop

This is great. I'm trying to implement this now in a single room, but am stuck on one point - how are you using the UnilogIQ driver to turn the lights on? That driver doesn't seem to expose a generic 'on' command - all I see are actions that activate a particular scene or turn bulbs off.
