#Looking to buy a Motion Sensor that does not broadcast bluetooth (but can connect to ZigBee)

I'm using the following hardware:
Home Assistant Green
Home Assistant SkyConnect/Connect ZBT-1 dongle

I live in Europe.

For background:
I live in an apartment and bought two Hue bulbs just to start with, which I'm using through ZigBee.
However, I've noticed that they broadcast Bluetooth constantly even though I'm using them with the above mentioned dongle, which means that if I were to buy new ones, I'd have a bunch of annoying bluetooth broadcasts in my android phone.
A cursory google search shows this behaviour can not be disabled with the hue bulbs.
And what's worse, since I live in an apartment, I'm kind of "worried" that my neighbours would see these broadcasts and could connect to them as well.
This is of course easily solved by buying bulbs that do not have Bluetooth connectivity, which I will.

But I'm looking to buy a good motion sensor, and from what I can tell the best ones have Bluetooth connectivity (in addition to ZigBee).
So I'm wondering if any one has a recommendation for motion sensors that support ZigBee but not Bluetooth (or where the Bluetooth won't broadcast unless you press a button or some such)?

Thank you!

sonoff and aqara make some which i have heard good things about. personally i use EP1 and EPL's from everythingsmart.io but they are wifi instead of zigbee. although if thats an option then they are worth looking at.

Thank you, after looking into it, it seems an Aqara FP1E might be the best choice since it seems to have nativa home assistant support with zigbee and no bluetooth.
