Description: Add support for polling HomeKit motion sensors. I'm testing with an Eve Motion (on my bluetooth branch) and a homekit_python demoserver accessory based on the HAP spec (page 225).

Hi folks, I think I have the same issue. Flashed one of my Eve Motion sensors zu Matter firmware. Device is added to HomeKit and via share code additionally added to HA. Adding itself worked like a charm, same as it did with my two Eve Energy. But the motion sensor sticks at one state and doesn't update at all whereas HomeKit shows every change. Illuminance sensor seems not to work at all as @Wardy125 reported above. Even the Eve app doesn't show any changes in illuminance, neither do HomeKit or HA. I attach my diag info, hope it helps you folks. [matter-ec35f125a2d936eead50d85d3f592d38-Eve …
