LED Modes & Customization

The Everything Presence Pro features an RGB LED that can indicate presence status, environmental conditions, or be controlled manually for custom automations.

LED Modes

The Pro supports four LED modes, controlled via the LED Mode select entity in Home Assistant.

Manual Control Mode

The LED only responds to direct control via the LED light entity. Use this for:

Custom automations
Turning the LED off completely
Static colour indicators

Presence Mode

The LED automatically indicates presence status:

State	Colour
Room occupied	Purple/Magenta (soft glow)
Room empty	Off

Environmental Mode

The LED displays air quality based on CO2 levels (requires CO2 module):

CO2 Level	Colour	Effect
< 800 ppm	Green	Steady glow (good)
800-1200 ppm	Yellow	Slow pulse (moderate)
> 1200 ppm	Red	Fast pulse (poor)

Without a CO2 module installed, this mode has no effect.

Environmental + Presence Mode

Combines both modes:

Shows environmental colour when occupied
Turns off when room is empty

Controlling the LED

Manual Control

When in Manual Control mode, control the LED via the LED light entity:

Set any RGB colour
Adjust brightness
Turn on/off

# Example: Turn LED blue
service: light.turn_on
target:
  entity_id: light.pro_led
data:
  rgb_color: [0, 0, 255]
  brightness: 128

Brightness Adjustment

The LED Brightness number entity (0.1 to 1.0) acts as a multiplier for automatic modes:

Higher values = brighter automatic colours
Set to minimum (0.1) to dim the LED in automatic modes
Does not affect manual mode brightness

Common Use Cases

Turn LED Off Completely

Set LED Mode to "Manual Control"
Turn off the LED light entity

Or use this automation:

service: select.select_option
target:
  entity_id: select.pro_led_mode
data:
  option: "Manual Control"

service: light.turn_off
target:
  entity_id: light.pro_led

Visual Doorbell/Alert

Flash the LED when someone rings the doorbell:

automation:
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.doorbell
      to: "on"
  action:
    - repeat:
        count: 5
        sequence:
          - service: light.turn_on
            target:
              entity_id: light.pro_led
            data:
              rgb_color: [255, 165, 0]
              brightness: 255
          - delay:
              milliseconds: 200
          - service: light.turn_off
            target:
              entity_id: light.pro_led
          - delay:
              milliseconds: 200

Room Status Indicator

Use different colors for different states:

automation:
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.pro_occupancy
  action:
    - choose:
        - conditions:
            - condition: state
              entity_id: binary_sensor.pro_occupancy
              state: "on"
          sequence:
            - service: light.turn_on
              target:
                entity_id: light.pro_led
              data:
                rgb_color: [0, 255, 0]
        - conditions:
            - condition: state
              entity_id: binary_sensor.pro_occupancy
              state: "off"
          sequence:
            - service: light.turn_on
              target:
                entity_id: light.pro_led
              data:
                rgb_color: [255, 0, 0]

LED Behaviour Reference

During Boot

The LED shows a cyan colour briefly during device start-up while connecting to Home Assistant.

Troubleshooting

LED Not Responding

Check the LED Mode is set to "Manual Control" for direct control
Verify the entity is available in Home Assistant
Try restarting the device

Automatic Colours Not Showing

Ensure LED Mode is set to an automatic mode
Check LED Brightness is not set to minimum
For Environmental mode, verify CO2 module is installed and working

LED Too Bright/Dim

Adjust the LED Brightness entity (0.1 to 1.0) to set the intensity for automatic modes.
