Philips Hue Motion Sensor with Fibaro

6 January 2022 - Reading time: 5 minutes

It wasn't the only Christmas gift I received from my dad,
the Philips Hue also had a motion Sensor and I actually wanted to use this one in Fibaro also...
but how.... well I came up with the following:

So there isn't actually much you can do with a motion sensor, besides detecting motion,
but I thought it would still be nice to able too see this in Fibaro,
So here the manual how to do so:

Requirements:

• Fibaro Homecenter 2 (I wasn't  able to test this on Fibaro HC 3)
• Philips Hue Hub
• Philips Motion Sensor(s) ( SML003 )
• little bit of JSON knowledge
• little bit of LUA knowledge

Philips Hue Requirements

I have created a separate manual for the Philips Hue Requirements under the Philips Hue Basic Knowledge section,
because I noticed with creating manuals I was re-creating this part every time.
so the requirements to continue with this manual are:

• Knowing your Philips Hue IP Address
• knowing your Hue Username
• Identifying your sensor ID

Fibaro Requirements

I have created a separate manual for the Requirements under the fibaro Home Center basic knowledge section,
the requirements to continue with this manual are:

• Knowing your Fibaro IP Address
• Creating a Virtual Device in Fibaro

Creating a Virtual Device in Fibaro (motion sensor)

Create a Virtual Device in Fibaro with add 4 labels in the "Label" set 
name them:

in the main loop enter the following code
but change the following values:

local devId        = tonumber(fibaro:getSelfId());
local ip           = '192.168.0.102'
local sensorID     = '3'
local username     = 'rAUnDqU2H4PNwL-bbODk8FAS0SNRT0cEHWF4lwjQ'
local url          = '/api/'..username..'/sensors/'..sensorID..'/'
local http         = Net.FHttp(ip, 80)

response ,status, errorCode = http:GET(url)
local jsonString   = json.decode(response);

fibaro:call(devId, "setProperty", "ui.lastupdated.value", jsonString["state"]["lastupdated"]);
fibaro:call(devId, "setProperty", "ui.presence.value"   , jsonString["state"]["presence"]);
fibaro:call(devId, "setProperty", "ui.Battery.value"    , jsonString["config"]["battery"].."%");
fibaro:call(devId, "setProperty", "ui.reachable.value"  , jsonString["config"]["reachable"]);

 if its correct after saving your Virtual Device you should already see the Sensor

if the value of presence is changed from 0 to 1, it means there is motion detected.
reachable means if the Philips Hue hub can contact the motion sensor 0 means out of range.

Creating a Virtual Device in Fibaro (light sensor)

Create a Virtual Device in Fibaro with add 6 labels in the "Label" set 
and name them:

in the main loop enter the following code
but change the following values:
in my case the light sensor was the motion sensorID + 1 

local devId        = tonumber(fibaro:getSelfId());
local ip           = '192.168.0.102'
local sensorID     = '4'
local username     = 'rAUnDqU2H4PNwL-bbODk8FAS0SNRT0cEHWF4lwjQ'
local url          = '/api/'..username..'/sensors/'..sensorID..'/'
local http         = Net.FHttp(ip, 80)

response ,status, errorCode = http:GET(url)
local jsonString   = json.decode(response);

fibaro:call(devId, "setProperty", "ui.lightlevel.value"   , math.floor(jsonString["state"]["lightlevel"]*0.002301655) .. " %");
fibaro:call(devId, "setProperty", "ui.dark.value"         , jsonString["state"]["dark"]);
fibaro:call(devId, "setProperty", "ui.daylight.value"     , jsonString["state"]["daylight"]);
fibaro:call(devId, "setProperty", "ui.lastupdated.value"  , jsonString["state"]["lastupdated"]);
fibaro:call(devId, "setProperty", "ui.battery.value"      , jsonString["config"]["battery"].."%");
fibaro:call(devId, "setProperty", "ui.reachable.value"    , jsonString["config"]["reachable"]);

 if its correct after saving your Virtual Device you should already see the Sensor

I have tested the max value of lightlevel was 43447,
at least that was my brightest light (850 Lumen) I had (GoBe 850 Wide Dive light)
so I added a calculation in order to get the percentage of light
if you would like to use the value for triggers, I would advise to add another label or remove the % from the label

Creating a Virtual Device in Fibaro (Temperatue sensor)

Create a Virtual Device in Fibaro with add 4 labels in the "Label" set 
and name them:

in the main loop enter the following code
but change the following values:
in my case the light sensor was the motion sensorID + 2 

local devId        = tonumber(fibaro:getSelfId());
local ip           = '192.168.0.102'
local sensorID     = '5'
local username     = 'rAUnDqU2H4PNwL-bbODk8FAS0SNRT0cEHWF4lwjQ'
local url          = '/api/'..username..'/sensors/'..sensorID..'/'
local http         = Net.FHttp(ip, 80)

response ,status, errorCode = http:GET(url)
local jsonString   = json.decode(response);


fibaro:call(devId, "setProperty", "ui.temperature.value" , (jsonString["state"]["temperature"]/100 .. " °C"));
fibaro:call(devId, "setProperty", "ui.lastupdated.value" , jsonString["state"]["lastupdated"]);
fibaro:call(devId, "setProperty", "ui.battery.value"     , jsonString["config"]["battery"].."%");
fibaro:call(devId, "setProperty", "ui.reachable.value"   , jsonString["config"]["reachable"]);

 if its correct after saving your Virtual Device you should already see the Sensor

the temperature is stored as 2207, so I have divided the value by 100
if you would like to use the value for triggers, I would advise to add another label or remove the " °C " from the label
