EJones01 Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 These are game changing. They don't require movement to know your in the room, they know about different parts of the room...for instant turn on a light near the Reading Chair...only when someone is in it. I have the Tuya one. In the first release it connected and was seen as a switch, in the last two releases its seen but no controls/status.
EWhite Posted November 9, 2023 Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) just saw an article where you can get a tuya m100 presence sensor and change out a chip in it and load Tasmota on it. https://templates.blakadder.com/ZY-M100.html for the template and how-to... It then spits out home assistant MQTT info. would be nice to have a HA nodeserver to handle it.. hehe Edited November 9, 2023 by EWhite

mdfled Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 EJones, I have a couple of Tuya Human Presence Sensors (HPS) working through Home Assistant (HA). HA is able to trigger a program on my eisy when it receives a notification from Tuya's API. My HA installation runs on my local network, and it runs on a Raspberry PI. You have to use Tuya's SmartLife app so you will need a Tuya Zigbee hub to communicate with Tuya. You will also have to set up a Tuya account and go onto their website to configure your devices and to key in your authentication credentials. Tuya then sends info to HA through the API. There is pretty good documentation on HA's website that will walk you through most of the Tuya setup. Once you have HA recognizing your devices, you can set up an Action in HA triggered by the HPS sensor to run a program in eisy. Right now, I have my programs set up to increment or decrement a variable in eisy that I then use to turn on and to keep on the lights until I leave the room. Now for the bad news. I haven't had the sensors hooked up for more than a week, but so far my impression is, the marketing hype about being able to sense your breathing is a joke. I still find that if I don't move around some the lights start shutting off. I'm not perfectly still, ever, in the room in question, so I'm sure they aren't picking up my breathing when they aren't even sensing small movements. I'm going to add a couple more sensors for overlap and play with layout of the sensors to see if I can get them to perform better. I should also say, I didn't spend a lot on these sensors, maybe $20 per sensor, so there may be better quality sensors that can do the job better than what I've purchased.
