I have three of these GE sensors and can vouch for the detection range. Haven't had issues with false positives. I heard battery can be an issue, but I plug these into a micro-USB charger and they work just fine. I use them with Home Assistant, which technically works requires a little more setup in reading values (it's not a simple on/off state).

You can sometimes find deals on eBay for $25 during the 20% off coupon periods. I try not to pay more than $28 for these.
I think it is this model (on Amazon):

Hi, I know its not exactly what you are asking, but I just picked up two of the ge z-wave motion sensors for $12 (all the ge z-wave stuff was marked down) at walmart a few weeks ago. They are battery operated and work really well. I saw some complaints about battery life, but I've had them for a few weeks and its still showing 100%, I think just RTFM and set good rules and then they are good devices. I have one on my front porch which turns the house on reliably and one inside to activate dimmed lights inside at night. They work really well- my cats don't set them off, but humans always do.

May I suggest the GE Portable Motion Sensor?
On sale for $28 right now on Amazon, runs off battery and USB power which helps if it is in a high-traffic area. I have one and use it for my kitchen when I arrive home to flip a few lights on as well. It is fairly quick and SmartThings has it integrated into their hub.
I've been very happy with the zwave plus GE motion sensors: https://smile.amazon.com/GE-Wireless-Activation-Monitoring-34193/dp/B01KQDIU52
Love that the can be USB powered or battery. And are configurable for reset time and sensitivity.
If you want to use SmartThings AND just want to turn lights on/off with motion, I don't see a need for wired sensors.
If you really want wired sensors (because of battery/network concerns), I doubt SmartThings would be the best choice for your platform. You'd need an extra device that would receive then sensor communication and then it would need to relay that to SmartThings. I don't think there's much "off the shelf" options for this, except maybe ADT. I'm sure there's some custom options you could build with a PI or other board but then you get into major customization/time/effort. But, some others on the sub may know of some more options.
You may want to check out some more "professional" HA platforms besides SmartThings.
edit: This GE zwave sensor will accept wired USB power.
I found this: GE Enbrighten Z-Wave Plus Smart Motion Sensor. It has a USB or battery.

Not what you're for but have you considered GE Z-wave battery/USB motion sensors?
