Hardware Overview

The Everything Presence Pro is our most advanced presence sensor, combining multiple detection technologies with enterprise-grade connectivity options.

Components

mmWave Sensors

The Pro includes two mmWave radar sensors for comprehensive coverage:

Both sensors work together via the combined Occupancy entity for reliable presence detection.

PIR Motion Sensor

A passive infrared (PIR) sensor provides instant motion detection for fast light-on response.

Environmental Sensors

Optional CO2 Module

Everything Presence Pro with optional CO2 module installed

A separate SCD40 CO2 sensor module can be purchased and connected for air quality monitoring. When installed, it enables:

• CO2 concentration readings (ppm)

• Environmental LED mode showing air quality

• Manual calibration option

Connectivity Options

Ethernet/PoE

The Pro supports wired ethernet via the LAN8720 chip:

• 10/100 Mbps ethernet

• Power over Ethernet (PoE) support

• More reliable than WiFi for permanent installations

• Ideal for ceiling-mounted deployments

WiFi

Standard WiFi connectivity is also supported:

• 2.4 GHz WiFi

• Easy setup via improv

• Good for locations without ethernet access

Bluetooth Proxy

When enabled via firmware variant, the Pro can act as a Bluetooth proxy for Home Assistant, extending your BLE device range.

Relay Output

Alarm panel screw terminal connections

The Pro includes a solid-state relay output accessible via screw terminals:

• Normally Open (NO) by default, Normally Closed (NC) also available — configurable in Home Assistant

• Rating: Check your specific installation requirements

• Trigger Modes:

  • Disabled (manual control only)

  • Motion Only (triggers on PIR)

  • Presence Only (triggers on occupancy)

  • Motion or Presence (triggers on either)

Common uses:

• Alarm panel integration

• Direct light switching

• HVAC control

Physical Connections

Main Connector

The primary connector provides power and communication:

• Ethernet jack (with PoE support)

• Or USB-C for WiFi-only setups

Screw Terminal Block

For alarm panel and relay connections:

• Alarm relay output terminals Alarm terminals are connected to a single pole solid state relay with configurable contact type (Normally Open or Normally Closed, selectable in Home Assistant). Our configuration is 'volt free' or 'dry contact'. Maximum load current is 75mA at 60V. The solid state relay we use is a IXYS CPC1006N. The relay is controlled from GPIO 12. The default contact type is Normally Open (NO).

• Tamper terminals The Tamper terminals are directly connected to a mechanical push button. The tamper switch is a normally open, volt free configuration. The switch contacts are closed when the case is closed (healthy state).

• Power input terminals An external 9 - 28V power supply can be used to power the Pro. Dual power supplies are supported but remember to observe best practice and only connect with the power switched off. When both External and PoE power are connected, PoE power has priority.

LED Indicators

RGB Status LED

A programmable RGB LED (SK6812) can show:

• Presence status

• Environmental conditions (CO2 levels)

• Custom colors via automation

• See LED Modes & Customization for details

ESP32 Status LED

A secondary status LED indicates device connectivity state.

Mounting Options

Standard Desktop/Shelf Mount

The Pro can be placed on any flat surface pointing toward the detection area.

Ceiling Mount Accessory

An optional 3D-printed ceiling mount case allows:

• Flush ceiling or wall mounting

• Clean PoE cable routing

• Professional installation appearance

• Ideal for permanent deployments

The ceiling mount STL files are available on Printables for free, or you can purchase a pre-printed mount from the shop.
