Ruckus IOT suite & philips HUE lights and motion sensor

Question

i am currently working on a project that involves pairing hue motion sensors,lights,smartplugs and ledstrips to the ruckus iot controller, but i have been stuck on how to make the light turn on or change brightness or colour when for example the sensor picks up motion. I have been trying to use node-RED for this but i havent had any succes yet. Anyone that could offer some help or advice here? to me it seems like i would need a hue bridge but doesnt the RIOT controller fulfill that purpose?

after a few days of testing i noticed that the ruckus IOT controller loses connection with some of the IoT end devices, for example i cant turn my light bulbs on or off via the controller. The motion sensor on the other hand responds fine. the first time this happened all of the devices didnt respond anymore and i fixed the problem by unplugging the iot module from the AP and re inserting in. yet this doesnt solve anything anymore.Anyone knows why and how this problem keeps reoccuring?

I've solved it, the first motion sensor i was working with was faulty, now that i have a working one everything runs without a problem.

my current problem is the motion sensor, its an osram smart+ motion sensor. I can turn the lights (i have switched to also osram lightbulbs) on and off through node-RED without much problems. But this motion sensor i have i cannot seem to get the motion state for it through the ruckus API. i have tried disconnecting and reconnecting it to the controller and the entire device attributes changed too(device type changed from IAS zone device to simple sensor for some reason). im currently waiting for another motion sensor to test with.i also would like to mention that i am a total novice when it comes to this. and thank you for your reply, any feedback/help with this project is really appreciated!
