Other option, go back to the original switches and wiring, and replace the LIGHT blub/housing with a motion sensing unit. Then you simply leave the switch(es) in the ON position and let the motion detection control the light.
Using any light control device designed for a single switch installation on a 2 switch installation is usually asking for a lot of trouble.

You know....this is starting to make some sense. This switch on amazon has a red wire on it....just like the original switch that I removed had on it.
But it requires a neutral....which I don't (obviously) have....although there are those white wires in both boxes not connected to each other.
Here's the 3 way motion switch
