I'm a full believer in mmWave now! Here’s a link to the Everything Presence One: shop.everythingsmart.io/en-us/collections/everything-presence-one

Thanks for the awesome review Reed, it was really good to get your feedback which is invaluable! Oh, and more stock will definitely be coming soon!

20 plus years ago I worked as an engineer at a company that used uwave technology for automatic door sensors. The 24 gigahertz sensor I worked on would indeed detect someone breathing. We used this as a feature to make a "safer sensor"

The use cases for proximity based automations that are this accurate are unlimited. It could really allow you to fine tune automations and increase automation resolution.

Such a cool kit. Excited to see this grow so the scale will get bigger and cheaper

Direct Sunlight? Hi, thank you for bringing this great sensor to our attention. Have you tested it outside? Virtually any PIR sensor that I tested triggered false alerts when the sun was shining on it or when the sun was heating up the area under it (hot air moving upwards). I'd be interested to hear how it behaves outdoors.

This is a great device, comes in at about the same as a hue sensor but without needing to spend more on a hub and more accurate for motion sensing! My office light often goes off cos I'm motionless. I really like the light level sensors, they are great for bringing on the lights just as it starts to get dark outside. I have an artificial sunset taking the lights from cool white to warm white (essentially daytime light to more of a sunset colour). As sunset can be between 16:00-21:30 I can ensure I keep the white lights on longer to try and trick my brain into thinking it's not getting dark as early so if it gets dark between 19:00-21:00 it will trigger. If it happens before 19:00 or after 21:00, it just happens at the respective time. Gotta love Hassio!!

So cool to see these on your channel Reed. Been following Lewis for a while, really hope these take off for him.

Now this makes me want to integrate home assistant into HomeKit as that's my setup. I could see this being useful, thanks for the review!!

I saw this when he announced this and ordered 5 on the spot. I can not wait to get mine and set them up

Wow, what a neat sensor. I look forward to trying one out and then probably replacing every sensor in my house with it!

Awesome video dude! Just the video I needed. Thanks

I'm sure a lot of sweet videos will come from this sensor! Looks sweet! And crazy that it can detect you typing without even seeing you that was amazing haha

I'm curious about using this for my driveway; outdoor temp, outdoor humidity, outdoor lux, pir & mmWave accuracy should let me detect objects entering the actual driveway to trigger floodlights etc. without setting off every time a larger vehicle drives by etc. Is there a listing for minimum operating temp? Looking at up to -20°C

Hi Reed, Just got my EP1 and loving it so far, quick question, what app was you using on your phone, to change the settings on the EP1, TIA...

Back here in Europe we have Knx or proprietary infrastructures like Loxone that work great with mm Wave Presence Sensors and miniservers. And yes, we try to cable everything in order to have the best responsiveness.

“It’s SO accurate” 😂😂😂 loved it every time

Fantastic video and super exciting new tech for motion sensors! Any ideas on how to power these if I want to place this in the ceiling of the rooms of my house? The only thing I can think is to have a ceiling outlet in every room, but that isn't super ideal. Any ideas here on battery power or low voltage power?

A few years ago I installed a Watts hot water recirculating device at my water heater. We had a long run from our water heater to the master shower requiring a long wait for hot water to arrive at the shower head. The watts came with a manual timer to set for times you would normally need the hot water quickly. Being retired our needs vary. I was able to plug the watts pump into an inexpensive smart plug to get an easier way to set up a routine with Alexa to turn on the pump to get the water ready for the shower. I discovered the PIR sensor to set up in the bathroom attached to the exhaust fan grill. Now this device will get me the hot water when we walk into the master bath. A routine will shut off the watt’s pump if there is no movement within a specified amount of time. A pir could be set up in additional bathrooms for quicker hot water there also. I have a routine set up so the pir will only work during sunrise to sunset so as not to start the pump during an overnight trip to bathroom. Your subs may be interested in this home automation idea. The pir runs on AAA batteries. I got the rechargeable ones and they last almost 3 months. The alkalines run down quicker. The plug in pir would be a better solution for some.

Dude, your voice is awesome. Great tone for voice-overs and sitcoms!!!

Imagine how much this could help camera motion triggers. So those road facing cameras wouldn't be triggered by cars or anything beyond the range you want.

Nice shirt! I've used a couple of presence sensors, and like everyone else, we have the "turn the lights back on" wave going on every so often. Once these are back in stock, I'll definitely be picking up a couple.

A wall plate and AC adapter designed to hook to mains, to put this on the wall or make it look like your standard lightswitch or eletrical outlet plate would make this product alot more clean.

Will it be able to detect movements and presence into and out of predefined zones in a room?

Awesome! This is what I've been looking for. Thanks, Reed!

This is freaking awesome!!! I was always struggeling with the cooldown and had to fiddle around with timeouts and things. But this one. I need like 10 or 12 of this ... Also whats up with the bluetooth part of it? Did you use it? Can you detect who is in the room too? With a sensor like THIS you could think about things like music following a person throughout the house! Like I am sitting and working in my studio and my girlfriend is doing her own business upstairs both listening to spotify on our Sonos Speakers (got like 9 rooms with Sonos/Ikea Speakers, could need 1-2 additional for the halways) and then your playback could like follow you. It could extend to the rooms you are going to (leaving it on at the master for a decent timeout, before switching masters (one might have a tiny break in playback when doing so)) So her podcast would just follow her into the bathroom while my music extends to the living room and kitchen when grabbing some food and kinda pulling back when I left those rooms and I am back into my studio ...

Great, to see you are amazed about this sensor. Now I will definitely also boy some of these.

Wow, this looks amazing, thanks for sharing! I have been using the Aqara FP but I had to also use a standard motion detector with it as it's quite slow to detect motion. Having a 2-in-1 device is amazing! It's already sold out though 😭

Dual technology (PIR, mmWave) sensors for security systems have been around for at least 20 years. usually the sensor will even detect movements behind it. They usually trigger the alarm when both sensors detect movement, so to prevent false alarms. It's very interesting

Long time no see. Getting into camping this year has really made me forget about my smart home. It's chilly time in the north east now... time to see what's broken in my smart home. Kids room motion is a target at the moment. Thanks for the vid! I've been noticing people talk about this thing.

These sounds like an amazing sensor, I’m building my forever home and plan to do my smart home set up as I go so I’m researching everything I might need or want. My smart home will mainly just automatically respond to things, my curtains will open because the sun came up, close because it set, lights will come on cause someone walked in, turn off cause someone left, my door will unlock because I pulled up to the house, this sorta thing so this sensor could be a game changer for me. I have a few concerns tho, for my household specifically. 1 I have large dogs that’s are home and moving around when I ain’t and 2 I use ceiling fans, love them, I will have them in every bedroom and a huge one in the open living room/dining/kitchen area and they will run constantly. I know I could mount at ceiling and use the distance restriction to get around the pet thing probably but if I do that then does it see the ceiling fans as someone there constantly? I know with my indoor cameras I have to use the custom viewing fields to blank out my ceiling fans or my cameras are just constantly triggering for motion, I assume the PIR sensor would do the same in this sensor.

Finally, some smart home tech that works as advertised. Buying.

This is pretty cool! Joined the waitlist.

Nice. This will be perfect for my home office lights and electric heater, which I often forget to turn off.

Awesome overview! I appreciated the red swingline!

I don't know what frequency those old handheld police doppler speed trap guns worked at, but if they were pointed at you, you could hear the doppler shift of the heart pumping and blood moving around. And if you spoke, the movement of the vocal cords also could be heard. It was kind of a neat effect, I figure surely somebody by now has found a way to put that effect to good use.

mmwave is the holygrail for home automation, having that aqara fp1 basically just solve 99.99% of my problems with room presence. while this one is neat, I dont really need a AIO sensor like this, I actually need this to be placed on different areas of my (eg PIR sensor) to exactly know where I am, aqara fp1 actually have this radar like capabilities to know where your exactly at, but for now, ZHA and Z2M cant utilize this feature. If they finally able to utilize this feature, automation base where you were at is a big one addition for home automation.

Hello, I would be interested on how it performs in an external environment; I have a PIR sensor that monitors a part of the garden but the central heating vent keeps turning it on (when no one is there)

Looks like a great device Reed. Thanks for sharing.

I have used such sensors for gate / door opening automation in my job few years ago. That sensors used 24ghz waves and it could filter out humans from cars and also detect the direction of movement. Is that possible as well with this one you are using? Or is it theoraticly possible? Maybe with some firmware /software update or implementation? Thx ✌️

Impressive, once they are back in stock I have use for several of them. Cheers.

Hi, Can you please make an up-to-date video about the best equipment to look after a newborn baby? Would be ideal if it worked with Apple. I'd also appreciate an up-t-date best Apple supported indoor surveillance and outside door bell (with videos of course). Thanks.

Does it mean we can have precise position for presence sensing? Like trigger work profile when I am sitting in front of my office table.

I have some onorder but currently use agara fp1 and additional pir sensors. I have lowered my Time to turn off lights but I set a temporary scene before cutting them off. Basically wait 3 mins, set temp scene, turn off lights, set timer (1 hour). If you return within the hour the temp scene gets called and the lights return the same as you left. If the timer has expired the default scene (based on time of day) gets called when motion is detected. Much better wife approval

Interested device, I hope it or something similar make it out to other platforms besides home assistance. The Aqara mmwave fp1 sensor is another good option.

NSA: "Let me track you!" Smart Home Solver: "Absolutely!"

I am subscribed to the KZfaqr who made this sensor and he is great for sure. * Question: How do you find this sensor compared to the Aqara version?

Wow... Besides the look of it... this thing is awesome. I need (more than) one!

Just set mine up, love it!

How do you hook it up to things to automate them?

Is there a video of the "freeze game"? I would like to integrate that into my system 😅

It also detects a ceiling fan when placed even at low height which makes them almost useless in many cases. I've had to make hats from cardboard and tinfoil tape so the ceiling fan isn't seeing it off

Good review here and a non chinese product designed by an actual pro in home automation. Think I found the presence detection system I ve been looking for for more than 2 years now. Yayyyyy🤩🤩🤩

how do you use HA to change hue strip light color to due cool color effects instead of just a solid color thta is the same every time?

Hi Reed @4:14, these cooldowns. How do i change them? I need the PIR one to be lower but I can't find it anywhere. Any help?

I’ve been wanting a humidity and temperature sensor to add to my set up :)

I can't envision how I'd use it today, but I hope this makes its way into some products soon that I will use.

I was bummed when the preorder sold out and I had missed it. Would love to try a few out. Also, that bit at the end was cute! hehe

Have you seen Signify the company that owns Phillips and Wiz has come out on their Wiz lineup of using WiFi signal interference as a presence detection method?

all great and fabulous, but WHEN available? we're 4 months since, still not even pre-orderable :-(

What a great sensor! Do you have any recommendations for an outdoor motion sensor that will not trigger from the sun or cars driving by 30ft away?

this is awesome, got a light that turms on based on a wosion sensor, but it turns off even though im stil in the room moving around. need one of these

Would this be a good option for for an underbed light that you only want turned on when getting out of the bed in the middle of the night?

Sold out. I wish some factory would make these by thousands as to bring the price right down. Also, I would hope it has an easy accessible API.

TY. I would be interested if I could use it in hot or cold like Attic or crawl space, or outside?

Hey guys, let’s drink every time he says: it’s so accurate” 😂😂😂

I wonder if this could work for detecting if the washing machine, dryer, dishwasher is still running?

The things I'm not a big fan: - the USB cable cannot be plugged from behind - The STL for the case is not available - It has a lot of things for the presence, but much less things on the air quality And especially that it has a quite high consumption(probably due to the presence sensor) and there is no way a battery will work very long(compared to other sensors that can work 6 months on battery). I'm more looking for a netatmo replacement on my end ;)

these things are gonna sell out again and again and again. game changer indeed!

Where did you get that T-shirt? It’s so nice! Also nice sensor 😂😂

I just learned yesterday from a Paul Hibbert video that echo dots have presence detection built-in that is accomplished by reflecting ultrasonic frequencies. Has anybody gotten good results using that in automations?

How would this work with ceiling fans that are always on? Wouildn't that detect constant motion?

I need a recommendation too smarten up some existing window blinds. They are fabric lines that raisin lower horizontally. Any suggestions?

Should I get a HomePod mini or Echo dot? What works easier with most devices? Smart outlets, thermostat, security system?

This is cool. I was thinking about getting the new Arlo sensor

How do I integrated it with other systems like casa or Insteon? Does it have to be home assistant or Alexa?

You have a very nice home Sir. Just curious to know if this works with Alexa? I live in a 432sqft apt and I would like to use something like this to turn on my home theater system when I enter my unit and also does it know to turn on lights at night or is it just turn them on period when it detects motion because I don't want that to happen in the day time. Ty

Where can I get the glass lamp in your background?

This is off topic but where did you get the chairs for your kitchen island?

This is so cool, sensitivity is mind blowing! Wish it supported Apple's HomeKit but still awesome nonetheless. Great video!

Can you provide the site to see his build directions and automation program he developed?

what app are you using for automation?

Ok 2 ideas.. use multiple sensors to track objects. This enables so many more features because now it's instant and it also has a way to predict events.. if it's walking out door then say goodbye. If near fridge. Then ask what's for dinner..

Nice thing is automating the heat recirculating pump with this. So it knowns when you get up to go to the bathroom, you'll need some hot water at the sink before heading off to bed agian.

Those kids at the end of the video was everything!

Hello Can i know which smart home dashboard are you using ?

That sensore looks amazing! I'm distracted by that flavor of Ice Cream your kids are devouring. Where do I get that?

Hello I follow you everywhere and I love your videos and I apply them. He has an idea I’m very interested in, but I don’t know how you could do a tutorial? It’s when you open the door with a Contact Sensor the light opens or when you close the door the light closes. How do you do this? Please answer thank you.

very cool. I'm waiting to be able to buy one. could You share the bathroom automation. thanks

Can this be integrated into control4 systems?

Do you know of any sensors for open gates (external sensors)

Lol on the freeze game trick by the kids at the end. Looks like a cool sensor.

does it detect in a line ? or different shapes.

What outdoor video cameras do you suggest? I have smartthings.

Hey is there a how to for the freeze game ?...i would like to know.

Does it also works with Hoobs/Homebrigh ?

@SmartHomeSolver What do you use to make automations?

Thoughts on the latest Eufy data breach?

Will it ever work with smartthings also?

Does the sensor trigger when the dog walks into the room, or when your robot vac rolls out on a run?
