ESPHomeWorks LocalHighly recommended ESPHome presence sensor

Apollo MSR-1. Highly recommend!!! - 2 of my own mmWave sensors using LD2410C mmWave modules. - A weather station outside using a custom pcb a friend designed (temperature, pressure, humidity, PM2.5,10, light sensor). - A similar one built for the house with VOC and MOX sensors added. - A ESP32 with vacuum differential sensor, temperature, humidity, in the cellar to send out an alert if my radon mitigation fan stops working. - A couple WLED projects.

The dashboard puts their faces on the floor plan and keeps a 24 h presence timeline per room. \- Power: 39 metered Zigbee plugs, energy monitors with clamps on the circuits, a P1 reader on ESPHome, a Victron EV charger. The dashboard draws a live power flow …

Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
