You'll have to buy a new motion sensor. The only one I know of that
specifically mentions electronic ballasts is the Leviton OSSMT-MDW.
You won't find it at any retail stores. Check online though. It goes
for about $75
Just so you know, turning fluorescents on and off burns out the tubes
faster. That's why the specs on a compact fluorescent is based on a
minimum of 4 hours use.
Even if true the lamps are not on as long so the time between replacing
is longer. In the meantime you save energy.

I had that problem with my motion detector switch when I put
flourescent lights in my bathroom Not wanting to spend the bucks on a
new sensor or shel out the money again if it needed replacing I
installed a contactor in the b light switch box. I had to add another
box to hold the contactor but that wasnt too bacd since I was
remodeling at the time. The new box and contactor was less than $10.
