Default Replace laundry room light switch with motion sensor

OK all of you Iris owners, you know where I'm coming from! You walk in from the garage and turn on the light to the laundry room, take 2 steps, then turn it off again. On and off all day long. Well I thought...let's replace one of these switches with a motion sensing switch and all will be well with the universe.

Instructions couldn't be more simple.....black to black, bare wire to bare wire, and white to white....er....what is this pink / purple wire??!! What??

Well white to pink / purple didn't work but white and bare to bare worked fine except now there is a slight hum to the light fixture (LED) that wasn't there before.

Does any of this look remotely right? Any comments you have would be most appreciated
