Can't see motion devices in google home

Anyone have zigbee motion detectors shared via google home? My zigbee temperature sensors are good but google cant see the motion ones for some reason?

Unfortunately, not all devices transfer to Google home with the SmartThings integration. My motion sensors don't show either, my Yale locks for another. Last week, I noticed my water valve was also not in Google home.

I guess it's the API cloud to cloud traffic of endless alerts they don't want to pay for. Or it could be possible lag issues they dont want service calls about. 

Is there some way we can get the aeotecs to act as a zigbee to matter bridge?

As far as I know Google Home doesn't work with Zigbee devices. I have Samsung Smartthings working with my 20+ Zigbee devices and 10+ Z-wave devices and link the smartthings app to my Google Home for voice commands.

my zigbee temperature sensors went across but not the PIRs. H ow can I trigger a GH voice command to either control a zigbee device or act on the state of the zigbee device if it can't see it?
