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.

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.
