Everything Presence Lite: Prepare to Have Your Mind Blown!

In this video, we're going to take a look at Everything Presence Lite, a new smart home device that has a lot of features. We'll discuss Zone detection, which is the feature that allows you to identify different areas of your home, and see the different things that are happening in each zone. We'll also take a look at Presence detection, which is the feature that allows your devices to communicate with each other and see if someone is currently in the room.

If you're looking for a new smart home device that has a lot of features, then you need to check out Everything Presence Lite! It was developed by Lewis from Everything Smart Home. This sensor is smaller than the Everything Presence One but has one amazing feature extra. It can detect people in zones!

Thanks Ed! Glad you like the Lite, can't wait to release it and for everyone else to try it soon! 🎉

[KimmoJaskari]

It's now sold readily assembled with an injection molded case that looks incredibly professional, and the packaging is Apple level on quality. I bought several.

Fantastic video showcasing how this sensor works! I do think it’s really important that you’re upfront when companies (including small ones that don’t feel like corporations) send you stuff (especially when it’s not released to the public yet). Being sent stuff can still influence your review even if you’re not paid for the review. I’m not saying this is a dishonest or disingenuous review, I just think it’s good to be fully upfront with the viewers when doing reviews.

I may have missed something but what is the communication method? Bluetooth/wifi/etc? Also, any thought how well this would work on the ceiling? when we build our house i ran wires to each room to power and communicate with a pir/glass breakage combo unit but this would be much better. thanks

[wwolfram]

What do you think? 'Hang' the presence light from the ceiling angling downward to view the room. Thoughts? Thanks!

EP1 picks up my cats walking on the floor and I have it mounted pretty high on top of a china hutch

[bazcurtis]

Mine has just arrived and was easy to setup. I am using it to replace a Sonoff. The Sonoff is great, but I noticed the ceiling fan kept the presence as true. Will your blueprint support the ceiling fan as a zone so it won’t keep the office occupied?

[StevenMackenzie]

Interesting - thank you! Did you (or can you) measure the power consumption? My current PIR sensors are battery powered, are mm-wave sensors generally not battery?

[grahamshaw]

I have and use the original presence 1. Also use the Aqara presence sensor. & have no use for any more. But will try the Blueprint. Thanks.

[Aetohatir]

What is the "field of view" of the sensor?
Larger than 180°?

Hi Ed. If you look at this sensor and the Aqara fp2 without looking at the price but just how it works. Which one should you advice? I do use the Aqara fp2 now for 2 week and i am very pleased with it. I use it in my livingroom of 11, 6 meters deep and 5, 5 wide I use 5 zones and all works fine. I hope you have advice. The difference in price of 83 euro compared to 29 euro's is a really good deal in my opinion.

[gorgorgonzales]

Will the STL file for the case available so I can print it at home and only order the harware?

[marcusone]

I assume zones is just a software thing (esphome code). According to spec sheets of the DFRobot sensor used in the EPOne, it can do areas. just needs to be configured. Therefore EP1 and EPLite have same functionality (or should... I would hope that they will update the code for the more expensive EP1 for those that have purchased one).

[MadMike]

I need some help setting the zone up. Why does the Controls show (MM) and the sensors show (IN)?

[TheOddPirate]

How long does it take before it turns on the lights? Was it really the 3 seconds it looks like? Or are the zone just so small that it does not respond before you are almost standing on the table?

[EsotericArctos]

How do these compare to the Aqara FP2?

[wwolfram]

Will the EP1 support zones? If so, do you have an idea when? Thanks!

[CrazyAngelfire]

can i make a request you show how you setup a zone in detail please

[patrickr]

as far as i see from the github releases (but dont have one sadly) the ep1 have in meantime target tracking up to 4 persons, correct?
