Homey Sensors and Controls
Common device capabilities exposed to Homey for Everything Presence One.
Capability | Type | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
alarm_motion | Alarm | Motion/presence state from the device. |
measure_luminance | Sensor | Light level (lux). |
measure_temperature | Sensor | Room temperature (°C). |
measure_humidity | Sensor | Room humidity (%). |
onoff.esp32_status_led | Switch | Turn the board status LED on/off. |
onoff.mmwave_led | Switch | Turn the mmWave module LED on/off. |
Notes
Motion is the primary signal to use in Flows for presence.
LEDs can be turned off to reduce light at night.
Advanced settings (device settings)
These controls appear under the EP1 device → Settings in Homey.
Setting (label) | ID | Units | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
Motion Source | motion_source | - | Choose which sensor drives Motion: PIR, mmWave or Occupancy (combination of PIR or mmWave, either will trigger) |
Temperature Offset (C) | temperature_offset | °C | Fine-tune reported temperature. Positive raises, negative lowers. |
Humidity Offset (%) | humidity_offset | % | Fine-tune reported humidity. |
Illuminance Offset (lx) | illuminance_offset | lx | Fine-tune reported light level. |
Minimum Distance (m) | mmwave_distance_min | m | Ignore targets closer than this distance. |
Maximum Distance (m) | mmwave_distance_max | m | Ignore targets farther than this distance. |
Trigger Distance (m) | mmwave_trigger_distance | m | Distance that must be crossed to trigger motion. |
Sustain Sensitivity | mmwave_sensitivity | - | How easily motion stays detected after first trigger (1-9). |
Trigger Sensitivity | mmwave_trigger_sensitivity | - | How easily motion initially triggers (1-9). |
On Latency (s) | mmwave_on_latency | s | Delay before mmWave turns Motion on. |
Off Latency (s) | mmwave_off_latency | s | Delay before mmWave turns Motion off. |
PIR On Latency (s) | pir_on_latency | s | Delay before PIR turns Motion on. |
PIR Off Latency (s) | pir_off_latency | s | Delay before PIR turns Motion off. |
Occupancy Off Latency (s) | occupancy_off_latency | s | How long Occupancy stays on after no motion. |
