Hue Motion Sensor and Driver

[Vahn]

I've been evaluating the Hue Motion Sensor and the 3rd party driver from Unilogiq for about a month. It's currently connected via the Phillips Hue bridge v1. Everything has been fine and integrates with my a handful of Hue Lights and Lighting Strips (also on C4).

v1 of the Bridge is effectively deprecated.

Any known issues with moving the Motion Sensor to v2 of the Bridge? I like the color changing lights and the integration with C4 is sufficient enough for my purposes. I would like to go to v2 so I can use some of the newer hardware, features, and capabilities it offers.

Anyone running the Hue Motion Sensor on v2 of the Bridge and/or had migrated from one to the other? I would prefer not have both v1 and v2 bridges since that means 2 Hue-specific apps for fine-tuning in addition the standard C4 app for basic on/off stuff. I am not using any of the geo-location routines or anythign like that. All the lights are turned on/off by C4 programming (except when something breaks, which has only happened once so far.)

TL;DR - Does the Driver and the Motion Sensor work ok with Hue Bridge v2?

Yes motion sensor works on v2 bridge just fine.

I got it up and running on the v2 Bridge. It's just too sensitive. Even when at the lowest sensitive setting between the 3 options. It's a like a wind just will set it off. Anyway I am not thinking out to dial it in better that what I can do in the driver properties now? 

The range is just two far out for what I want to do with it.

The driver is independent of the bridge version. The sensors are compatible until now with all 3 HW revisions of the bridge (there are two different HW versions of the v2).

Depends on the hight and number of animals crossing the sensor  you might need to change the motion sensibility. For me the medium sensitivity works best at 2.5m height looking down the stairs (only 3 values for motion are available).
