I use the Homeseer sensors that you mention. When I think about the various sensors that I use, they're up on the top of the "cool" list.
Mine might be a just slightly older version than the ones they're selling now. Mine have the same model number, but the instructions say incandescent only. I looked at the manual at your link, and that one indicates LED is fine, so there has probably been a minor update.
I absolutely love them. They take a bit of tinkering with lux and timing settings within Hubitat, but then you're pretty much good to go.
One thing that's nice: You get a motion detected signal in Hubitat. I have one spot where if there is motion, it probably means that either someone is working around the house at night, or breaking in, so I set that one motion detector to turn on ALL exterior floodlights.
Second thing that's REALLY nice: You can remotely turn motion sensing on/off. So on my back porch, I like to go out and look at stars at night -- so I don't like the motion lights to come on then.
I also use Lutron Caseta in my house, so I put a two switch decora plate over the one switch that controls the porch light, and stuck a Pico remote in the second spot.
If you hit the bottom button, Hubitat turns off the motion sensor and starts a 2 hour timer to turn the motion sensor back on by itself -- because I will forget to turn it back on. Top Pico button turns motion sensing back on -- in case I do remember. I put a clear plastic "safety switch" cover over the dumb on/off switch to prevent the light from being accidentally turned off.

They also deliver illuminance data to Hubitat, so if you want to use that for local weather impacted dawn/dusk settings (or whatever else you want Hubitat to control based on outside light), you can.
