# Hardware Overview # Hardware Overview # Overview There are several components that make up the Everything Presence One. Purchases made **after** November 28th 2024 will receive the units pre-assembled and ready to use. If you would like to know which components have been used in Everything Presence One they will be listed below. ## Everything Presence One Board !\[Everything Presence One Board](Everything Presence One Board](/api/attachments.redirect?id=08fad06e-c9e1-4a6b-bade-9ec15c259bd5) The EP1 board is the main PCB for the device. It's where the ESP32 is located that provides Wi-Fi connectivity and is the brains of all of the sensors. Directly on the EP1 board we have the following components: * ESP32-WROOM-32E - 4MB flash version * BH1750 Light Illuminance sensor * SHTC3 Temperature and Humidity Sensor * Header Slot for DFRobot SEN0395 and SEN0609 mmWave Sensor * Socket for Panasonic EKMC1603111/2/3 PIR Sensor * USB-C for power and programming * 5v Header input for optional power * 4 Additional GPIO pins for expansion ## **mmWave Sensor** :::warning The DFRobot mmWave Sensor SEN0395 (for Rev 1.3 boards) and SEN0609 (for Rev 1.5 and later EP1 boards) are the **only** compatible and validated sensor currently - do not try to use a different sensor as you may cause damage. ::: ![DFFRobot mmWave Sensor for EP1](https://docs.everythingsmart.io/api/files.get?sig=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJrZXkiOiJ1cGxvYWRzLzEyODlhY2JjLWM2NWItNGNhNy05YjA0LWI3YjZmYzc5ZjFiNS9lY2RlYWY2MC0zNjExLTQzZTMtOTVmYi1kNDYwNTlhYjNlZmYvREZGUm9ib3QtbW1XYXZlLVNlbnNvci1mb3ItRVAxLndlYnAiLCJ0eXBlIjoiYXR0YWNobWVudCIsImlhdCI6MTc5MzY4MTEwMCwiZXhwIjoxNzkzNzY3NTAwfQ.17iYw-tCknLxWJJfTbGf2MB-LlydmYjug_jfamg8wow) The mmWave comes included as part of the Everything Presence One Full Kit - if you purchased the board only then you will need to supply your own mmWave sensor. ### SEN0395 vs SEN0609: Which Sensor Do You Have? The EP1 has shipped with two different mmWave sensors over its lifetime. The sensor you have determines which features are available. **How to identify your sensor:** * **SEN0609** (Current): Shipped with EP1 units from approximately late 2023 onwards. If you purchased a new EP1 recently, you almost certainly have this sensor. * **SEN0395** (Legacy): Shipped with earlier EP1 units. The physical sensor looks similar but has different capabilities. If you're unsure, the easiest way to check is in Home Assistant - look at the entities available for your EP1. SEN0609 users will see additional controls like "Trigger Sensitivity" and "Sustain Sensitivity" that aren't present on SEN0395. ### Feature Comparison | Feature | SEN0395 (Legacy) | SEN0609 (Current) | |---------|------------------|-------------------| | **Detection Range** | Up to 8 metres | Up to 25 metres (default 12m) | | **Sensitivity Control** | Single sensitivity (0-9) | Separate Trigger & Sustain sensitivity | | **Distance Control** | Max distance only | Min, Max, and Trigger distance | | **Detection Modes** | Standard only | Distance & Speed mode available | | **Distance Zones** | Beta feature | No | ### What This Means for You **SEN0609 users** have access to more advanced tuning options: * **Trigger Sensitivity**: Controls how easily the sensor initially detects someone entering the space * **Sustain Sensitivity**: Controls how easily the sensor maintains detection of someone already present * **Trigger Distance**: A secondary distance threshold for initial detection * **Distance & Speed Mode**: Advanced mode showing detailed target tracking information **SEN0395 users** have a simpler but effective setup: * Single sensitivity slider (0-9 scale) * Max distance control * Distance zones feature (marked as beta) Both sensors work excellently for presence detection. The SEN0609 simply offers more fine-tuning options for challenging environments. ### Firmware Compatibility Each sensor requires its own firmware variant: * SEN0609 firmware is the default for current EP1 installations * SEN0395 firmware is available for legacy hardware :::tip If you need to reinstall firmware, make sure you select the correct variant for your sensor. Installing the wrong firmware will result in the mmWave sensor not functioning. ::: ## **Motion Sensor PIR** :::warning The Panasonic EKMC series of sensor is the **only** compatible and validated sensor currently - do not try to use a different sensor as you may cause damage. ::: ![Panasonic EKMC PIR](https://docs.everythingsmart.io/api/files.get?sig=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJrZXkiOiJ1cGxvYWRzLzEyODlhY2JjLWM2NWItNGNhNy05YjA0LWI3YjZmYzc5ZjFiNS9kMWQ2ZDYyZC1lMjA1LTQzNGYtOGM0YS02ZmY2MzdiMGZkYjEvUGFuYXNvbmljLUVLTUMtUElSLndlYnAiLCJ0eXBlIjoiYXR0YWNobWVudCIsImlhdCI6MTc5MzY4MTEwMCwiZXhwIjoxNzkzNzY3NTAwfQ.lmxlT6b7qMxC-pRZwvJW44VeWC6wz0IBlkzlDJ6suko) The PIR comes included as part of the Everything Presence One Full Kit - if you purchased the board only then you will need to supply your own PIR sensor. Part numbers for the PIR are one of the following: * EKMC1603111 * EKMC1603112 * EKMC1603113 ## **Case** The case supplied with the pre-assembled version is an injection molded case, prior units shipped with a 3d printed case. ![Everything Presence One Official Case](https://docs.everythingsmart.io/api/files.get?sig=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJrZXkiOiJ1cGxvYWRzLzEyODlhY2JjLWM2NWItNGNhNy05YjA0LWI3YjZmYzc5ZjFiNS9kNjNmMzdjZS1lZjBjLTRiYzYtYWU4Mi1mOTM3YTg0OGQwODgvRXZlcnl0aGluZyBQcmVzZW5jZSBPbmUgT2ZmaWNpYWwgQ2FzZS53ZWJwIiwidHlwZSI6ImF0dGFjaG1lbnQiLCJpYXQiOjE3OTM2ODExMDAsImV4cCI6MTc5Mzc2NzUwMH0.nfnLHRv1V9m2faeO7oc_IK9i0y3p-ZV8cmJcJ7XfbBc)The Official Case for the EP1 is available for purchase [here](https://shop.everythingsmart.io/products/everything-presence-one-official-case) or if you prefer to print your own, the STL is located on [Printables](https://www.printables.com/model/302846-Everything%20Presence%20One%20-%20Official%20Case) The case has 5 components - Front, Back, Stand, Ball Joint and Locking Ring. ### Front ![Everything Presence One Official Case Front](https://docs.everythingsmart.io/api/files.get?sig=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJrZXkiOiJ1cGxvYWRzLzEyODlhY2JjLWM2NWItNGNhNy05YjA0LWI3YjZmYzc5ZjFiNS82NGZjZDI5YS0xZjFlLTRmMjgtOWJmYi05ZmY4MGJlYzlhMTEvRXZlcnl0aGluZyBQcmVzZW5jZSBPbmUgT2ZmaWNpYWwgQ2FzZSBGcm9udC53ZWJwIiwidHlwZSI6ImF0dGFjaG1lbnQiLCJpYXQiOjE3OTM2ODExMDAsImV4cCI6MTc5Mzc2NzUwMH0.psw4PO_GNEGJ0CzhhSKKicnvqVcX84Ofv1b-j8IpVlw) ### Back ![Everything Presence One Official Case Back](https://docs.everythingsmart.io/api/files.get?sig=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJrZXkiOiJ1cGxvYWRzLzEyODlhY2JjLWM2NWItNGNhNy05YjA0LWI3YjZmYzc5ZjFiNS83NWJmN2M3ZS1mYmE2LTRjZmItYjVhOC1kNGMxZjFkMzZjY2IvRXZlcnl0aGluZyBQcmVzZW5jZSBPbmUgT2ZmaWNpYWwgQ2FzZSBCYWNrLndlYnAiLCJ0eXBlIjoiYXR0YWNobWVudCIsImlhdCI6MTc5MzY4MTEwMCwiZXhwIjoxNzkzNzY3NTAwfQ.sPgc5zBiCY0zMK-pOM00_JEdXyp7tNrsOaPpqvJv1YI) ### Stand ![Everything Presence One Official Case Stand](https://docs.everythingsmart.io/api/files.get?sig=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJrZXkiOiJ1cGxvYWRzLzEyODlhY2JjLWM2NWItNGNhNy05YjA0LWI3YjZmYzc5ZjFiNS8zNDFhNzcxZi01Y2Q0LTQyZWItYThhZC04MDQ3ODZlNjEwN2IvRXZlcnl0aGluZyBQcmVzZW5jZSBPbmUgT2ZmaWNpYWwgQ2FzZSBTdGFuZC53ZWJwIiwidHlwZSI6ImF0dGFjaG1lbnQiLCJpYXQiOjE3OTM2ODExMDAsImV4cCI6MTc5Mzc2NzUwMH0.bjdHLs4QfLMpC3PT5HsxfcaCr1_SH1OL1Av5-B8lBvI) ### Ball Joint ![Everything Presence One Official Case Ball Joint](https://docs.everythingsmart.io/api/files.get?sig=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJrZXkiOiJ1cGxvYWRzLzEyODlhY2JjLWM2NWItNGNhNy05YjA0LWI3YjZmYzc5ZjFiNS84ZjRkMGQzYy1mNjIzLTQyZDItODliNS03MmU4MGU5MDg1ZjUvRXZlcnl0aGluZyBQcmVzZW5jZSBPbmUgT2ZmaWNpYWwgQ2FzZSBCYWxsIEpvaW50LndlYnAiLCJ0eXBlIjoiYXR0YWNobWVudCIsImlhdCI6MTc5MzY4MTEwMCwiZXhwIjoxNzkzNzY3NTAwfQ.JGFE3Pg5HP1t1rcTeISeJEh4kzVpXJJ7A_BlzTSWjrs) ### Locking Ring ![Everything Presence One Official Case Ball Joint](https://docs.everythingsmart.io/api/files.get?sig=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJrZXkiOiJ1cGxvYWRzLzEyODlhY2JjLWM2NWItNGNhNy05YjA0LWI3YjZmYzc5ZjFiNS9hNDRmMjg0Yy0zNWVkLTRjZTAtYjM0OC00YjE2MTZhYzE1YjgvRXZlcnl0aGluZyBQcmVzZW5jZSBPbmUgT2ZmaWNpYWwgQ2FzZSBCYWxsIEpvaW50ICgxKS53ZWJwIiwidHlwZSI6ImF0dGFjaG1lbnQiLCJpYXQiOjE3OTM2ODExMDAsImV4cCI6MTc5Mzc2NzUwMH0.lxGqoOYCg4Ldm0juM6bVeMkhv6Vyn-ayk3ZG96a_5-w) --- **Documents** - [EP1 vs EPL: Which Sensor is Right for You?](https://docs.everythingsmart.io/s/products/doc/ep1-vs-epl-which-sensor-is-right-for-you-5B3RxiY3Kp) - [Everything Presence One (EP1)](https://docs.everythingsmart.io/s/products/doc/everything-presence-one-ep1-3R178yZSUP) - [Everything Presence Pro](https://docs.everythingsmart.io/s/products/doc/everything-presence-pro-nh3fIXmow9) - [Everything Presence Lite (EPL)](https://docs.everythingsmart.io/s/products/doc/everything-presence-lite-epl-ZVnBzYzuX2) - [Zone Configurator](https://docs.everythingsmart.io/s/products/doc/zone-configurator-93b9scGsa2) - [Knowledge Base Articles](https://docs.everythingsmart.io/s/products/doc/knowledge-base-articles-KnRRmk4zvt)
