Really impressed with how you've transitioned this from a bit of a home project to a highly polished market leading product, so quickly and with minimal fuss. Congrats to you and everyone who made it happen.
I appreciate your effort on cutting shipping costs to the EU. And the service on taxes. Very nice. I'm a big fan of your channel and just ordered my first Everything Presence One. Can't wait to start with this device.
So many wonderful updates! I was a bit worried when I saw the title because I've been an early adopter, but these are for everyone! I'm especially thankful that the injection molded cases are available standalone for the EP1. Just a note, the website still says "Please note, because this is a 3D printed product..." even though it does say they're injection towards the top. Cheers and thank you!
You're talking about the Aqara FP2? Because I just received an FP2 I ordered couple of days ago before discovering the Everything Presence sensors and now I'm thinking of returning it and ordering a couple of EP1/EPL 😂
Thanks Lewis for keeping us up to date on your sensors. I've been holding off on pulling the trigger to see how it matures and I think it looks great and it's nice to see you doing so well. I've gone ahead and bought one and can't wait to integrate it into my smart home. Keep up the great work!
I don't really have a use case for these sensors at the moment but I think I might buy some to support Lewis and everything he does for this community! Thanks for the hard work!
I've had 5 of the EP One since batch #3 (I think). They are - hands down - the best presence sensors I have. Other mm sensors and PIR sensors do not even compare in reliability and flexibility. I make heavy use of the ability to differentiate between motion and presence to trigger different automations depending on the time of day or what mode a room or the house is in.
... I will be ordering some more, replacing some of the other sensors I have around the house. I wanted to use some for the outdoors as well, but have now installed some Reolink cameras with IA person detection instead (sorry).
*Amazing* that you've sorted the EU import taxes issue. That was the main thing preventing me from ordering 🙂 Looking forward to whatever other amazing products you will create 🙂
And there I was sat last night thinking I've not seen as vid from you in a while on the sensors! The mapper is a game changer honestly, even being able to visualise how my current mapping is, is fantastic too! Guess its time for a couple more units for the areas where I'm still using PIR but could do with zones. Great work
Dang I should have waited, I did not know there was going to be a black Friday deal, awesome updates!! Looking forward to testing out the new zone features.
Nice video. The only part that isn't clear is the purpose of the PIR sensor. You say a lot of words that don't really have meaning to be blunt 😅 the only point of substance is that PIR is the best at static presence detection. Is that really true? I thought it was for motion detection?
No, I said it in the video that it gives good flexibility for automations. For example, there are lots of scenarios but a common one is in some installs, the mmwave can trigger when walking past a room because it detects through a wall. So in this case, the PIR can be used for turning lights on, while the mmwave can be used to turn them off again in the automation.. Hope that helps
The Area add on is a game changer in my use of the EPL. Thank you so much. A bit of a heads up, if any of the area entities are disabled, then the areas are not saved - which makes sense - but the add on reports it as saved.
Many times have I wanted to order stuff from the US because it's not available in the UK and every time shipping cost has been the main deal breaker. However, I just checked on your shop and shipping is more then affordable. That means that Ill be placing an order early next year as I can't afford it right this moment. 👍👍
Dude, this is amazing! Keep up the great work. It is very much appreciated. I have the Lite. I got it a few months ago but work has kept me from playing with it. Your updates have given me some incentive to do so. Maybe I’ll get a chance over the holidays. Happy USA Thanksgiving or belated Harvest Day!
Hey mate Well done! Just bought 4 sensors although I don’t need them yet. Just to support what you’re doing. Keep going! I wish you repackage the products into inwall and in ceiling forms for clean deployments in new builds / refurbishments. The cleanest look is permanently installed invisible room level sensors in the ceiling between the light spots. Hope you’ll make these
very nice, will the add on c02 module on your site work with the origibal Everything Presence One v1 model? It looks like it will bump into the PIR sensor (Hardware: 1.2.5)
Really great to see you doing all this, I'd say I'm gutted that I can't make use of the discount code given I've bought all the sensors I need (for now) but I'm glad to have been an early adopter. Super cool about the tool to help with making zones, had been thinking recently about making a dashboard to show position (for debugging) so glad you've read my mind. 🙂
This is amazing. Your products are great. I do have a small issue. The zone coordinator shows me (the red dot) extremely close to the sensor (20mm,100mm). I am at least 2 meters away. Any idea what I might have done wrong?
Those are great updates! Especially the extra tax upon delivery + admin fee was a bit of a tough hit. I still struggle a lot with setting the sensors up. After setting them up I’m losing connection to the EP’s thanks to ‘enabled transport encryption or changed the encryption key. Please enter the updated key’ is this a common problem among users?
Wow! Greate work! 👏♥ I have an FP2 and editing zones in the smartphone app is horrible. Another point that could be improved is the option to ignore curtains, robotic vacuum cleaners and small to medium-sized animals, even if they climb high places.
An EP ULTRA would be nice, an EP Lite + EP1 sandwich with the best sensors, zigbee router func, BLE for tracking, light, CO2, Wyoming satelite integration for HA voice, make it round and beautiful. Etc, man I'll just one day next year get in touch with you for customized EP ULTRA I need that in my home 😊
I'd pay for 10 of them, even if price was 500 euros each, no kidding. I tired of putting a lot of different things in my home, I just want something that does all in one
Any estimate when the CO2 Add-on will be back in stock? I had hoped to add one to my order, but I assume chances are slim that it's back in stock before Tuesday :(
@EverythingSmartHome Well, can't be helped, but a few weeks is much sooner than I expected! :D Yeah I can imagine they're popular! Looking for a CO2 sensor was very frustrating in the past as there are so many sensors that either can communicate or that can actually measure CO2, but I only knew one that could do both and that one was 100€+
I bought both EP1 and Lite with the CO2 sensor. Like everything except the enclosure, which doesn't look very sleek, personal preference I guess. The other thing is, I'd prefer plain brown cardboard for packaging so I can put it in my compost bin.
Current using the Aqara sensor and interested in this one for the extra air sensor. I’m however wondering if it has magnets in the base. I want to put it in the kitchen corner on the bread box which I constantly have to open. The Aqara is stable on that box due to the magnet. Hope you understand the request, keep up the good work!
Wow this is fantastic. I love how I can now see what the sensor is detecting in a way that makes sense. I already ordered the pressure molded cases for the lite a couple of months ago, and I am pleased to hear that you found a way to get rid of the stupid import taxes. If the value is below 150, and you pay the VAT in the webshop, in Portugal you don't pay import taxes nor handling fee at all, so that is a huge improvement. I noticed that you can update the MMWave firmware with an app, but after version 2.04 there have been updates anymore so I guess it is not worth the effort to try to make it updateable through HAS. I never understand what the hardware firmware version is supposed to be. One is on 1.03, the other at 1.07. What is the difference?
Would the EP Lite work in a bathroom that has a pane of glass that separates the “sink area” from the shower area? Specifically, if I set the EP Lite at a 45 degree angle in the corner of the sink area, would it be able to detect me in the shower since I would be behind a pane of glass?
Does placing multiple units in the same room cause issue, specifically a living room and adjoining hallway. Can I place the Lite in the living room and have the presence one in the hallway where both will be firing toward the same entrance at 45-90 angles
Man, this brexit shit has certainly crippled the country. Thanks for finding the time to work out a better deal for your supporters and customers. And most importantly, for sharing your experiences with your project.
Great work Lewis and team. Spent some time yesterday playing with the configurator as I was installing a Lite to replace another branded presence sensor. The exclusion zone helped as I was able to remove a ceiling fan (summer in Australia) and do not now have false positives. Might upgrade a few of my old cases as new injection ones are great. Currently have 6 Ep1's and 3 Ep Lites. Also have 1 EP lIte that some how I modified and now does not have firmware for EP Lite on it, just ESP Home. Need to find firmware, dowload and Install. Really like products and will be looking for more oportunites to add another one 0r 2.
Zone Manager! Yay! Can't wait to get this on my HA and start using it.... Future update to it, could we have ability to draw more complex shapes (not just rectangles)? Great features, is there a way to stop my lite tracking my cats?! Thanks for all your hard work Lewis!
Wow! The tax stuff is very nice! That was always a bit of mess dealing with the taxes in germany, you are only able to pay it in cash and the DHL guy does not have any change at hand. If you couldn't pay in cash, it was send to an DHL store where you have to go there and pay the taxes and the fee. Wonderfull! Looking forward to test this once there is EP PoE ;) ;) ;)
Is there a way for the sensors to detect size or weight or height of the targets? I’d like to track which member of the family is in each room and my kids, for instance, don’t have bluetooth devices or beacons to track, but they have clear distinct heights and weights…
15:00 Well, you actually did. Prices went up by 25% for my location since last week. And yeah, now taxes are payed at the checkout, and it's all gooder and prettier etc. I don't mind paying a bit more for what seems to be a good product. Just be honest about it, or don't say you didn't fake the deal. I will admit that with discount code it is a couple percent cheaper still. But after Tuesday it is not back to old price + with tax now on top, it is more than before.
That's not true. The price may seem higher yes, but it's not. We are simply including your countries taxes at checkout, which you would have been charged before anyways, it just wasn't visible before. It works out significantly cheaper when there is no customs "admin" fee.
For the sensor to be called Everything Presence it should also be running ESPresense. 😜 Maybe for EP2? 😉 Awesome job on this one and the fast improvements!
@EverythingSmartHome I'm saying to add ESPresense to add device presence detection on top of the amazing motion presence you already have. Right now I have ESP32 in every room for this purpose and it would be awesome to have everything in one box.
I'm super excited for the zone configuration UI, but every time I try it the target is shown at the sensor itself. I have two ep lites and they both show the target at the sensor in the UI. The data table shows the correct information though. Excited to use this once the bug has been squashed!
It's not so much a bug but a known limitation, you need to make sure you have the units of measurements set to mm (which is the default), I'm guessing yours has changed to inches. Once you change it back to mm, it should be all good!
One thing I would love to see is it being waterproof/semi-waterproof [with a USB-C panel connector on the bottom for power/setup] so it can be used outdoors as well. without it getting wet
Water-proofing would be a whole other ball game that I'm not sure we are quite at the level of yet (one day maybe!) Aside from that, I'm not sure how well mmwave would work outside in the elements since it would trigger an awful lot (I think?) with wind and rain, animals, wildlife, nature etc
I have Sonoff mmwave sensor. I tried to install it on my terrace this summer. It has a full roof and closed off from 3 sides. Even with that it was constantly firing even though I set the sensitivity to low. The wind blowing on a random leaf or even a bigger bug crawling around made it constantly trigger. It didnt really work out unfortunately.
@@EverythingSmartHome True. waterproofing might be the hardest thing to do. Though it would allow people to use it in humid enviroments, like a bathroom, without risk of humidity short-circuiting the PCB as for outdoor detection/mmwave, this could be limited by zones, or aiming it at the bottom. since I expect people to mostly use it near a patio cover, or near their backdoor. to automatically turn on the lights. since I have a small yard myself, animals might not be affecting it that much, assuming you limit the range to 5 meters. I have no Idea ho water or rain would affect motion sensors. though there might be outdoor motion sensors that would filter out the rain/wind. at least I assume that based on cheapo waterproof, solar led lights with motion sensor.
@@Debilinside I do know MOES has some waterproof zigbee sensors, might order one as a test myself. not sure about motion sensors, as I haven't placed any yet outdoors, since I still need to build up my patio cover first.
I wish I had this tool for my mmWave sensors. Because I don't like sensors that looks DIY or looks like a afterthought I have mmWave sensors that mounts like roof spots, is connected directly to mains power and communicate with zigbee
Weird, I just found a repo that builds configs with any amount of zones, exclusion zones, angle of placement, etc. buddy did all that work a month or two ago and all of a sudden your sensors have the exact same feature set.
I think, main change I would add is to have option for, 1. Battery Power 2. Power over Ethernet The USB-C is really not friendly. and also the fact that it has to communicate wirelessly causing traffic between the other signals. especially when it is not just 1 single device in a house but multiple all over the house. edit: if possible (I do not if it is) make the USB-C receive network as well as power. Like how on phones, you can use Ethernet-to-USB dongle and connect the phone to your network.
I've tried to use the zone configurator tool with an EPL and I keep getting "Status: Error Fetching Data" - restarted HA, restarted the EPL, and confirmed the EPL is functional. Any ideas?
It seems that the software is set for metric, but (somehow) I set my device to inches. So, all of the detections show to be VERY close to the module rather than in their proper location. Not sure if it's just me, if I found a way to break something else, or something simple that I'm missing, but maybe there is a better way to set that?
Yeah that is a limitation just now, it must be in mm (which is the default) so you would need to change it back to mm - hopefully inches can be a feature added soon!
Technically yes but it's not ideal (especially in the case of the Lite) because zones wouldn't function properly since the Y axis would effectively be non functional
I have my EP1 in my office, so my cat doesn't often trigger it, but sometimes my cat gets stuck in my office and constantly triggers my EP1. I want mmwave sensors around my house, but I need to know how to keep my cat from triggering the sensor. Does anyone have feedback for this? How do you tune a mmwave sensor so it is triggered only by human sized animals and not 13lb cats?
its too bad, i could see wanting zones + presence in the bedroom. Presence to it knows when im there, and then zones so when i get out of bed at night, i get a very dim under-bed light
Does anyone know how I can install the firmware of this on a Screek Human Sensor 2A, I feel like it should be possible since they both run on ESPHome right?
Really impressed with how you've transitioned this from a bit of a home project to a highly polished market leading product, so quickly and with minimal fuss. Congrats to you and everyone who made it happen.
Ah that's really kind 🙏🏻 it means a lot. Thank you for supporting 💙
I appreciate your effort on cutting shipping costs to the EU. And the service on taxes. Very nice.
I'm a big fan of your channel and just ordered my first Everything Presence One. Can't wait to start with this device.
Oh awesome, enjoy when it arrives!
Zone configurator sounds awesome. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for providing it as a docker container.
So many wonderful updates!
I was a bit worried when I saw the title because I've been an early adopter, but these are for everyone! I'm especially thankful that the injection molded cases are available standalone for the EP1.
Just a note, the website still says "Please note, because this is a 3D printed product..." even though it does say they're injection towards the top. Cheers and thank you!
I’ve now got 4 EPLs - replaced a couple of FP2s with them as well - way better. Getting addicted to them! Awesome sensors!
You're talking about the Aqara FP2? Because I just received an FP2 I ordered couple of days ago before discovering the Everything Presence sensors and now I'm thinking of returning it and ordering a couple of EP1/EPL 😂
Thanks Lewis for keeping us up to date on your sensors. I've been holding off on pulling the trigger to see how it matures and I think it looks great and it's nice to see you doing so well. I've gone ahead and bought one and can't wait to integrate it into my smart home. Keep up the great work!
Could not be happier for Lewis and team. Such amazing work and I can't wait to see what else comes down the pipe!
Congrats, Lewis, on achieving this new scale for your company! I’ve just ordered 3 of the lites.
I don't really have a use case for these sensors at the moment but I think I might buy some to support Lewis and everything he does for this community! Thanks for the hard work!
YES!!! Thank you for all your hard work! This is game changing!
Appreciate that, thank you so much 🙏🏻
The Zone Configurator Add-on is a game changer. Thank you so much. Just wish I would have watched the end of the video before ordering LOL
I've had 5 of the EP One since batch #3 (I think).
They are - hands down - the best presence sensors I have.
Other mm sensors and PIR sensors do not even compare in reliability and flexibility.

*Amazing* that you've sorted the EU import taxes issue. That was the main thing preventing me from ordering 🙂 Looking forward to whatever other amazing products you will create 🙂
That makes me very happy to hear, thanks!
EP1 FULL-INJECTION! Take my money now! (I need the case only though (for now))
Case is available on the shop, link in description!
Wow, what a great customer service and upgrade to your products - thanks a lot!
And there I was sat last night thinking I've not seen as vid from you in a while on the sensors! The mapper is a game changer honestly, even being able to visualise how my current mapping is, is fantastic too!
Guess its time for a couple more units for the areas where I'm still using PIR but could do with zones. Great work
hell yes! the zone configurator is exactly what i needed to fully enjoy the EPLs, thank you!
THANK YOU FOR FIXING THE CUSTOMS PROBLEM! I've personally received a letter informing me to pay almost double the product price as tax & admin fee.
Wow, the new zone tool is awesome, great job! Really excited about all this. 😚
This is so cool! Thank you! I'm always down to support dedicated creators like you!
And I very much appreciate it 🙏🏻
Looking forward to playing with the visual zones, well done team 👍
YES to an EP1 injection moulded case - just ordered several, thanks!
Dang I should have waited, I did not know there was going to be a black Friday deal, awesome updates!! Looking forward to testing out the new zone features.
Nice video.
The only part that isn't clear is the purpose of the PIR sensor.
You say a lot of words that don't really have meaning to be blunt 😅 the only point of substance is that PIR is the best at static presence detection. Is that really true? I thought it was for motion detection?
No, I said it in the video that it gives good flexibility for automations.
For example, there are lots of scenarios but a common one is in some installs, the mmwave can trigger when walking past a room because it detects through a wall. So in this case, the PIR can be used for turning lights on, while the mmwave can be used to turn them off again in the automation.. Hope that helps
The Area add on is a game changer in my use of the EPL. Thank you so much. A bit of a heads up, if any of the area entities are disabled, then the areas are not saved - which makes sense - but the add on reports it as saved.
Many times have I wanted to order stuff from the US because it's not available in the UK and every time shipping cost has been the main deal breaker.
However, I just checked on your shop and shipping is more then affordable.
That means that Ill be placing an order early next year as I can't afford it right this moment. 👍👍
Really glad to hear the shipping cost is better for you, thanks
Dude, this is amazing! Keep up the great work. It is very much appreciated. I have the Lite. I got it a few months ago but work has kept me from playing with it. Your updates have given me some incentive to do so. Maybe I’ll get a chance over the holidays. Happy USA Thanksgiving or belated Harvest Day!
Hey mate
Well done! Just bought 4 sensors although I don’t need them yet. Just to support what you’re doing. Keep going!
I wish you repackage the products into inwall and in ceiling forms for clean deployments in new builds / refurbishments. The cleanest look is permanently installed invisible room level sensors in the ceiling between the light spots. Hope you’ll make these
ceiling sensors, 1000%
Perhaps one day we would think about it - they don't always offer great positioning though
Thank you for the support!
It hurt a lot paying the taxes and fees and shipping in the past, but seeing that you got it sorted now makes me believe it was all for a good cause
Absolutely, it wasn't feasible for us previously with the additional overhead and costs but now we are able to - thanks again
Amazing updates! Great work and thanks for everything
Damn, that's a really nice add on feature
I actually liked the format of this video, very relaxed for a Thanksgiving morning.
Nice man. That’s really nice. Appreciate all your efforts.
Very good news. Thanks very much. It's time to update my cases and try the lite version.
Oh man this addon is so immensely useful, thanks a ton to you and the team, great fucking work.
very nice, will the add on c02 module on your site work with the origibal Everything Presence One v1 model? It looks like it will bump into the PIR sensor (Hardware: 1.2.5)
Yes it just fits, it does touch the side of the PCB but doesn't cause any issues
Well done mate, your work is amazing
Great work on the addon - works well!
Omg so glad you fixed the EU shipping cost problems!!! Going to order right now!
Let's goooo!
Definitely going to look closelier at this one
Really great to see you doing all this, I'd say I'm gutted that I can't make use of the discount code given I've bought all the sensors I need (for now) but I'm glad to have been an early adopter. Super cool about the tool to help with making zones, had been thinking recently about making a dashboard to show position (for debugging) so glad you've read my mind. 🙂
Omfg that tool is amazing. Lewis you are a bloody legend.
Glad you like it!
This is amazing. Your products are great.
I do have a small issue. The zone coordinator shows me (the red dot) extremely close to the sensor (20mm,100mm). I am at least 2 meters away.

After setting them up I’m losing connection to the EP’s thanks to ‘enabled transport encryption or changed the encryption key. Please enter the updated key’ is this a common problem among users?
This is huge, I didn't like the Aqara FP2 because the zones on the app were really bad for a small room but this looks like exactly what I want
OHHHH I've been waiting for this one to start my smart home journey.
Awesome, enjoy the fun times ahead 🥳
Wow! Greate work! 👏♥ I have an FP2 and editing zones in the smartphone app is horrible. Another point that could be improved is the option to ignore curtains, robotic vacuum cleaners and small to medium-sized animals, even if they climb high places.
In time, two devices with different purposes is not a good commercial option, think about unifying the capabilities.
An EP ULTRA would be nice, an EP Lite + EP1 sandwich with the best sensors, zigbee router func, BLE for tracking, light, CO2, Wyoming satelite integration for HA voice, make it round and beautiful. Etc, man I'll just one day next year get in touch with you for customized EP ULTRA I need that in my home 😊
I'd pay for 10 of them, even if price was 500 euros each, no kidding. I tired of putting a lot of different things in my home, I just want something that does all in one
That tool is a game changer! Huge, enterprise-level feature!
Any update on the EP Pro?
Any estimate when the CO2 Add-on will be back in stock? I had hoped to add one to my order, but I assume chances are slim that it's back in stock before Tuesday :(
A couple of weeks unfortunately they were really popular and sold out - we do have more on order but will be a few weeks
@EverythingSmartHome Well, can't be helped, but a few weeks is much sooner than I expected! :D
Yeah I can imagine they're popular! Looking for a CO2 sensor was very frustrating in the past as there are so many sensors that either can communicate or that can actually measure CO2, but I only knew one that could do both and that one was 100€+
I bought both EP1 and Lite with the CO2 sensor. Like everything except the enclosure, which doesn't look very sleek, personal preference I guess. The other thing is, I'd prefer plain brown cardboard for packaging so I can put it in my compost bin.
Current using the Aqara sensor and interested in this one for the extra air sensor. I’m however wondering if it has magnets in the base. I want to put it in the kitchen corner on the bread box which I constantly have to open. The Aqara is stable on that box due to the magnet. Hope you understand the request, keep up the good work!
Wow this is fantastic. I love how I can now see what the sensor is detecting in a way that makes sense.
I already ordered the pressure molded cases for the lite a couple of months ago, and I am pleased to hear that you found a way to get rid of the stupid import taxes.
If the value is below 150, and you pay the VAT in the webshop, in Portugal you don't pay import taxes nor handling fee at all, so that is a huge improvement.
I noticed that you can update the MMWave firmware with an app, but after version 2.04 there have been updates anymore so I guess it is not worth the effort to try to make it updateable through HAS.
I never understand what the hardware firmware version is supposed to be. One is on 1.03, the other at 1.07. What is the difference?
Damn instead of ordering the CO2 sensors quickly, I had to write a comment first and now they are sold out :(
Would the EP Lite work in a bathroom that has a pane of glass that separates the “sink area” from the shower area? Specifically, if I set the EP Lite at a 45 degree angle in the corner of the sink area, would it be able to detect me in the shower since I would be behind a pane of glass?
Does placing multiple units in the same room cause issue, specifically a living room and adjoining hallway. Can I place the Lite in the living room and have the presence one in the hallway where both will be firing toward the same entrance at 45-90 angles
I bought six last week 😅😂😂
And just grab some more.
Best of luck on your endeavor.👏🏻👏🏻
🙏🏻
Man, this brexit shit has certainly crippled the country.
Thanks for finding the time to work out a better deal for your supporters and customers.
And most importantly, for sharing your experiences with your project.
Great work Lewis and team. Spent some time yesterday playing with the configurator as I was installing a Lite to replace another branded presence sensor. The exclusion zone helped as I was able to remove a ceiling fan (summer in Australia) and do not now have false positives. Might upgrade a few of my old cases as new injection ones are great. Currently have 6 Ep1's and 3 Ep Lites. Also have 1 EP lIte that some how I modified and now does not have firmware for EP Lite on it, just ESP Home. Need to find firmware, dowload and Install. Really like products and will be looking for more oportunites to add another one 0r 2.
Awesome, really glad to hear the new features are useful! Thanks for supporting!
Zone Manager! Yay! Can't wait to get this on my HA and start using it.... Future update to it, could we have ability to draw more complex shapes (not just rectangles)?
Great features, is there a way to stop my lite tracking my cats?!
Thanks for all your hard work Lewis!
I think it's possible...maybe! The cats is very unlikely as that's part of the mmwave sensors internal algorithm
Wow! The tax stuff is very nice! That was always a bit of mess dealing with the taxes in germany, you are only able to pay it in cash and the DHL guy does not have any change at hand. If you couldn't pay in cash, it was send to an DHL store where you have to go there and pay the taxes and the fee. Wonderfull! Looking forward to test this once there is EP PoE ;) ;) ;)
I'm not sure if I have something misconfigured, but I cannot save more than one zone in the configurator
Any chance you can enable shipping to Brazil given the improvements on tax collection?!
Is there a way for the sensors to detect size or weight or height of the targets? I’d like to track which member of the family is in each room and my kids, for instance, don’t have bluetooth devices or beacons to track, but they have clear distinct heights and weights…
maybe a silly question. The FPone has multi-target tracking too?
will there ever be a version with poe? i like to have my esps on wire and then of course already including poe
Literally just ordered yesterday, if I had only waited a day;
I just need a way to stop it from picking up cats lmao
Everything Presence Anti-Cat
Awesome update! Just curious, how expensive are the best sensors? Could you for example make a EP ultimate or anything like that?
I was talking about some raw sensors I've tested that are into the hundred of $ for a single sensor 😅
15:00 Well, you actually did. Prices went up by 25% for my location since last week.
And yeah, now taxes are payed at the checkout, and it's all gooder and prettier etc. I don't mind paying a bit more for what seems to be a good product. Just be honest about it, or don't say you didn't fake the deal.
I will admit that with discount code it is a couple percent cheaper still. But after Tuesday it is not back to old price + with tax now on top, it is more than before.
That's not true. The price may seem higher yes, but it's not. We are simply including your countries taxes at checkout, which you would have been charged before anyways, it just wasn't visible before.
It works out significantly cheaper when there is no customs "admin" fee.
bought 2 lites to go with my ep1.... stick some Jaffa cakes in there for me.... ive heard they are the business
:D
For the sensor to be called Everything Presence it should also be running ESPresense. 😜 Maybe for EP2? 😉
Awesome job on this one and the fast improvements!
I don't believe ESPresence supports all of the customizations that we need - at least last time I checked!
Thanks!
@EverythingSmartHome I'm saying to add ESPresense to add device presence detection on top of the amazing motion presence you already have. Right now I have ESP32 in every room for this purpose and it would be awesome to have everything in one box.
Would love to buy all of your product but unfortunately it does not ship to my country Philippines. Hoping I can purchase it. Great stuffs 👍🏻
I'm super excited for the zone configuration UI, but every time I try it the target is shown at the sensor itself. I have two ep lites and they both show the target at the sensor in the UI. The data table shows the correct information though. Excited to use this once the bug has been squashed!
It's not so much a bug but a known limitation, you need to make sure you have the units of measurements set to mm (which is the default), I'm guessing yours has changed to inches. Once you change it back to mm, it should be all good!
@EverythingSmartHome Got it to work! Thank you so much!
Just grabbed a EP1
Do you intend to ship to Argentina in the short term?
Fuck yes no more VAT payments to the carrier! Loving this update, expect an order.
🥳
One thing I would love to see is it being waterproof/semi-waterproof [with a USB-C panel connector on the bottom for power/setup]
so it can be used outdoors as well. without it getting wet
Water-proofing would be a whole other ball game that I'm not sure we are quite at the level of yet (one day maybe!)
Aside from that, I'm not sure how well mmwave would work outside in the elements since it would trigger an awful lot (I think?) with wind and rain, animals, wildlife, nature etc
I have Sonoff mmwave sensor. I tried to install it on my terrace this summer. It has a full roof and closed off from 3 sides. Even with that it was constantly firing even though I set the sensitivity to low. The wind blowing on a random leaf or even a bigger bug crawling around made it constantly trigger. It didnt really work out unfortunately.
@@EverythingSmartHome True. waterproofing might be the hardest thing to do.
Though it would allow people to use it in humid enviroments, like a bathroom, without risk of humidity short-circuiting the PCB
as for outdoor detection/mmwave, this could be limited by zones, or aiming it at the bottom. since I expect people to mostly use it near a patio cover, or near their backdoor. to automatically turn on the lights.
since I have a small yard myself, animals might not be affecting it that much, assuming you limit the range to 5 meters.
I have no Idea ho water or rain would affect motion sensors. though there might be outdoor motion sensors that would filter out the rain/wind. at least I assume that based on cheapo waterproof, solar led lights with motion sensor.
@@Debilinside I do know MOES has some waterproof zigbee sensors, might order one as a test myself. not sure about motion sensors, as I haven't placed any yet outdoors, since I still need to build up my patio cover first.
For the EU, have you got GPSR sorted? My partner has a small business and is having to stop selling to the EU
Yes! LFG!
Couldn't have said it better myself!
🙏🏻
@ Can you send to Thailand as well? 😘
You should already be able to do that, let me know if it's not working
I wish I had this tool for my mmWave sensors. Because I don't like sensors that looks DIY or looks like a afterthought I have mmWave sensors that mounts like roof spots, is connected directly to mains power and communicate with zigbee
Weird, I just found a repo that builds configs with any amount of zones, exclusion zones, angle of placement, etc. buddy did all that work a month or two ago and all of a sudden your sensors have the exact same feature set.
I think, main change I would add is to have option for,
1. Battery Power
2. Power over Ethernet
The USB-C is really not friendly.
and also the fact that it has to communicate wirelessly causing traffic between the other signals.
especially when it is not just 1 single device in a house but multiple all over the house.
edit: if possible (I do not if it is) make the USB-C receive network as well as power.
Like how on phones, you can use Ethernet-to-USB dongle and connect the phone to your network.
Would love to be able to get it here in Brazil :(
The Everything Presence "Lite" - Zone Configurator, doesn't work with the EP1?
The EP1 doesn't support zones (discussed in depth in this video) so there is no reason to use it with the zone configurator
@@EverythingSmartHome Dang...Sorry. I watched it twice as well.. I guess I need to listen better, thanks for the reply! Off to order a Lite 🙂
I've tried to use the zone configurator tool with an EPL and I keep getting "Status: Error Fetching Data" - restarted HA, restarted the EPL, and confirmed the EPL is functional. Any ideas?
Hmm not sure, can you join Discord and I can try to help? Easiest place to live troubleshoot
Still waiting for news regarding the EP Pro/PoE.
It seems that the software is set for metric, but (somehow) I set my device to inches. So, all of the detections show to be VERY close to the module rather than in their proper location. Not sure if it's just me, if I found a way to break something else, or something simple that I'm missing, but maybe there is a better way to set that?
Yeah that is a limitation just now, it must be in mm (which is the default) so you would need to change it back to mm - hopefully inches can be a feature added soon!
Can either be ceiling mounted?
Technically yes but it's not ideal (especially in the case of the Lite) because zones wouldn't function properly since the Y axis would effectively be non functional
I have my EP1 in my office, so my cat doesn't often trigger it, but sometimes my cat gets stuck in my office and constantly triggers my EP1. I want mmwave sensors around my house, but I need to know how to keep my cat from triggering the sensor. Does anyone have feedback for this? How do you tune a mmwave sensor so it is triggered only by human sized animals and not 13lb cats?
You look like the serial killer from The Fall.
P.s. love my lites i bought from you recently, thank you.
its too bad, i could see wanting zones + presence in the bedroom.
Presence to it knows when im there, and then zones so when i get out of bed at night, i get a very dim under-bed light
Still no update on the everthing presence pro that has POE on it. Its been almost a year sence you mentioned it.
I'm sorry we've been working hard on the Lite and EP1, we are fully working on it now
Does anyone know how I can install the firmware of this on a Screek Human Sensor 2A, I feel like it should be possible since they both run on ESPHome right?
Please please add official homey pro support. The existing community app keeps crashing and the dev isnt responding to messages
Thanks heaps, the 3D cases are ... they need replacement 😅😂. Have just purchased with code.
Ah sorry about that, feel free to reach out to us if you need replacements instead
@EverythingSmartHome Noooo, happy, I knew what I was buying. Now I have the option to buy better and the price is very respectable, even to Australia
Still looking forward for POE :(
But that aside, nice work.
Working hard on it!
Sadly the CO2 sensors are out of stock.. Also, I can't find the zone configurator, anyone else find it on the add-on store?
I remember I mentioned the shipping issue. Thank you so much to tackle it. Much Much love and all the best.
🙏🏻
I added a presents sensor.
It senses when I get a present.
Pity that its not EU product.
What makes you say that out of interest?
@EverythingSmartHome think ist complicated to import it nowadays.
There is no importing complications now, we do it all on or side (if it's below 150 euros)
Got mine and Im from The Netherlands. Did pay an additional 16euro for import, but all good.
That's now handled at checkout as mentioned in the video, should be a big improvement
