Set up your EP1 device in Homey

Set up your EP1 device in Homey

Connect Everything Presence One (EP1) to Homey for presence, light, temperature, and humidity automations.

Note This integration is for local Homey hubs only. Homey Cloud is not supported.

Prerequisites

  • A powered EP1

  • Homey hub and the Homey mobile app

The Homey app uses the unencrypted ESPHome Native API on port 6053. If you have enabled API encryption on your device, the Homey app will not be able to connect. Disable encryption in your ESPHome configuration if you want to use Homey.

Install the Homey app

  1. Install the Everything Presence app on your Homey hub: https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.everything.presence/Everything-Presence/

Add your device

  1. Open the Homey app: Add device → search "Everything Presence" → select the app → choose "Everything Presence One (EP1)".

New device (Bluetooth)

Select this if your device is brand new out of the box, or has just been factory reset.

  1. Choose "New device".

  2. Homey will scan for the device over Bluetooth, once discovered it will display a name like "everything-pr-xxxxxx"

  3. Select your EP1 from the list.

  4. Enter your Wi‑Fi network name (SSID) and password.

  5. The app will look for your device on your network and finish adding it.

Already on Wi‑Fi (Network)

Select this if your device is already connected to WiFi and you are re-adding it to Homey.

  1. Choose "Already on Wi‑Fi".

  2. The app scans your network. Select your EP1 from the list. If no device is found, enter the IP address manually or retry the scan after 1–2 minutes.
