I Made My Smart Home Presence Sensor Even Better!

This took SO much longer than expected but the Everything Presence Lite is back, with some BIG improvements that I'm so excited to share with you!

Hey, what a nice surprise to see myself in this video 😍

[talesmaschio]

Hey Lewis. Being an electronic engineer with a 30+ year career in industrial automation, I know exactly what it takes to create, build and manufacture an electronic device. It’s not something trivial. Congratulations on what you achieved. I’m building a country house which will obviously be fully automated and I’ll be soon ordering a bunch of Lites. Cheers!

Seeing the lights not automatically come on (and the physical light switch) in the first 30 seconds of this video hurt me :)

[CodCodliness]

Bought one, even though I don't actually need one, but I think it's really good to support good HA community members and builders like yourself. I've actually got a couple of Aqara FP2 units in use, maybe I'll stick one of these in the same room as one of those and run the same automations on them 🤔

[unawaregibbon]

Ordered 2, my first order. I was waiting for these to be available for so long. Well done for making an affordable, robust and capable product. I wish you all the success in the world.

[PaoloSulprizio]

Cool and honest product that I'll buy! I'd love to see in the future a wall thermostat with a small display showing temperature (or humidity or CO2 if they are out of a safe range, maybe with a visible red warning signal) and a couple of buttons to adjust desired temperature so that Home Assistant turn on or off heating/cooling. I'd like to have also mmWave, CO2, VOC, light, sound sensors. And of course BT presence.

Lewis, I was about to give up on the EP lite. I have 6 of the original EP1s & the zones feature of the lite interests me. I also have on hand a complete set of the lite supported sensor modules to determine which will work the best for me. For the last almost 2 years I have been waiting for a home to be built with all of my home automation dreams built in. I was days away from ordering a set of Aqara presence sensors because the house will be finished within the next 30 days. This announcement has made my day. I thank you very much.

[DrunkenGolfer]

Very happy that you're able to iterate and expand! I've been using an Everything Presence One for a while now and absolutely love it. Thank you!

[Liefx]

I bought one two weeks ago and I'm not sad. I enjoyed the process of putting it together.

But having all these upgrades really helps the casual user that just wants it to work. Great Job

[aramsay]

Would love to replace my existing 3D printed cases. I’d be purchasing 6 in total.

Well done in producing and improving such a great product.

[FrankGraffagnino]

congrats man. what a great milestone in your journey.

I now have three Everything Presence Lites and very pleased with them. I had not realised the sensor can 'see' through studwork walls. Most of my house is blockwork, but one wall is studwork. I stood behind that waiting for a sensor to detect no presence and it just would not go off. Finally, I realised. Need to resize the room (actually it is a hallway). Other than that perplexing thing with my lack of knowledge they have been great. Need to find more uses so I can get some more ;-)

Would love to see more ground-up videos like setting up your warehouse & house. Seeing issues & how you overcome is valuable. Excited for you and community!

[RohanTheBT]

Just received my sensor. First impressions. Very well packaged, injection moulded case nice and tight joints and ball joint just right. So far haven’t powered it up. Very quick delivery. Thank you

[FarbulousCreations]

I would love an EP1 injection molded case, too, for what it's worth! Also, side note – I would love if there was a case/mount option that had the USB port sticking out of the back so it could be plugged directly into a wall wart sticking out of the wall – no need for a cord!

[mw.]

This, and the Everything Prescence One, are the absolute BEST mmWave sensors. Thank you for the hard work!

[koehlej]

I just ordered mine. I was waiting for this and am so glad you continued this project. Can’t wait for it to come so I can experiment.

[andy_warb]

Congrats on the new release and the warehouse and the new house! It kinda blows my mind that 200k subscribers is enough to take a youtube channel to a point where it can support a fullly functioning business with warehouse and employees and stuff!

[richardspurdens]

Thanks for the update Lewis ordered a new case which has now arrived. Its certain a good fit and look a lot better

[jwhitham]

Looks great. Just ordered one to try with a view to covering whole house with them.
