You asked for a real demo—here it is! A short clip showcasing how smoothly it works. I am working on the video demo of the v3.0 and v3.1 that comes with Custom Home Assistant Integration - Here's the screenshot -

What's new?

✅ WiFi support – Access locally on your network in both AP and WiFi mode

✅ New effects added – Standard mode for motion-tracking lights or choose from Rainbow, Color Waves, and Solid

✅ Motion smoothing – Improved responsiveness and transitions

Next up 🚀

🔜 Auto-Off Timeout – The LEDs will turn off after inactivity instead of manual dimming

🔜 Home Assistant Integration – With WiFi onboard, it’ll soon be HA-compatible! This will enable automation for on/off control, scheduling, and more. Work in progress!

Most of the core features, including motion smoothing, are working great! Just need to fine-tune things before calling it final. Let me know what you think! 👀

Just curious who uses Home Assistant as a backend with a homekit face basically? I have home assistant green but my family doesnt like the app on their phones. So i connected all the assistants to home assistant and said there you go take your pick :)

Anyone else?

Assuming I have the BLE presence hardware, how do I go about room presence with BLE and Android devices, like a Pixel and a Pixel watch. I can't find anything that really says how you accomplish this without Apple devices being thrown into the mix. Let's start after I've set up all the BLE devices around the house, now what is next?

This is generally good news, though personally I find pushing Matter support to be the wrong way forward, as the majority of SwitchBot products require hubs/bridges to be used with Matter.

Full Bluetooth integration is a lot more convenient, as then you just need a couple of Bluetooth hubs (super cheap with ESP32 chips) which can each support far more devices than Matter hubs can.

Hello,

It's been a year since I started to refractor the Paperless Addons for Home Assistant.

Today I'm proud to say that my addon is getting mature with many active users, I've just added Tika and Gotenberg support.

In case you don't know what is Paperless, it's a software intended to organise an archive all your documents, it can automaticaly tag those documents based on the content and it free you from the hassle of searching for documents.

If you want to know more, here is the link to the project

I love the idea of mmwave, I love what potential it has.... I'm on my 3rd mmwave device and it's still not shaping up to how I thought it was going to be. Maybe I'm expecting too much here?

Linknlink e-Motion Max - When working, this was great, the software was easy to set up, I was able to create zones and have things trigger as I walked between spots. Sadly that lasted about a month, I'm currently waiting for a replacement unit. as far as I could see there wasn't an easy way to outline the whole room so I didn't use it for a room presence sensor, I just used it to trigger automations based on where I was standing. It was very easy to walk around the zones and set these up while using the app.

Aqara FP2 - While the sensor was the worst of the 3 I've tried, the software config side was far better than the other 2. You could define the whole room and it would exclude anything detected outside of that (well, if it worked it would) and you then defined your zones inside that. It was fairly quick to do and you could easily walk around the room without issue and set up your zones.

Sadly the sensor was beyond useless so it got returned.

Apollo MTR-1 - By far the most accurate and sensitive of the 3, while you could argue it's a semi hobbiest product given the 3d printed case and the extremely poor zone configuration app and manual config. The app relies on bluetooth to connect to the device to set the zones up but it had about 2 metres of range before kicking you back to the device list menu.

There are ways to do this via yaml or through HA using the controls there but it's not very straightforward.

A major issue with the zone configuration app is that you can't have zones inside of zones and you're restricted to 3 zones so you can either use it to track presense in 3 different rooms if you have the range or you can set 3 zones in a room and lose detection between the zones.

Maybe I'm just expecting too much, maybe I'm making far too many assumptions on the software side... but all the things I've seen these used for, I just can't implement without multiples of these.

I'm currently looking at the Sensy-One which can apparently do zones inside of zones but I'm beginning to think I should maybe give up on mmwave for a few years until it's matured more?

I thought I'd cracked the zone setup in the Apollo companion app, which is tedious to say the least... I mapped out the room with a lot of back and forth (the page where you define the zone doesn't show you on screen so you have to guess)... I finally got the borders as good as I could... set up a quick automation to turn lights on and off when presence was detected... all good!

Then I sat down and 5 seconds later I was in the dark.

I've turned it off for now, to try again another day...!

Hi everyone! In our last post, we asked whether we should make a PoE (Power over Ethernet) version of our existing mmWave sensor, the Sensy-One S1, and your overwhelming response made our decision an easy one! We’re excited to announce that the PoE version is now in development!

ESP32-S3-POE-ETH (dev)

If you don’t need PoE, the original Sensy-One S1 is still available, and if you want to be the first to know when the PoE model launches (targeting early to mid-April), make sure to subscribe on our website for updates!

In the meantime, you can check out our YouTube video for an in-depth look at the S1 and explore our GitHub repository for all the documentation. Thanks again for your support, and I can’t wait to share more news soon!

This new version is not only much easier to build, it's also cheaper. !!

Also, I've included a "MasterClass" of various ways to Automate in ESPHome. So, even if you don't build the Fan Project, I hope the Code break-down will be useful. 🤞

I’ve had a routine set up in Alexa for over a year where if I say “Alexa, feed the dogs” or “Alexa, feed the puppies,” it triggers a script in Home Assistant that runs my Aqara pet feeders. It’s worked without any issues until just recently.

Over the past week, Alexa has started responding with, “The dog is hungry, are you going to feed the dog now?” instead of running the routine. It’s happened several times and feels like something has changed.

Is Amazon making Alexa worse on purpose right before they roll out Alexa AI? Anyone else noticing routines not working like they used to?
