@@csongorvarga OK thanks! I am interested in experiences for distances of several hundred meters (space around a family house without wifi or around residential buildings with garages nearby). There are not many RF devices that can be integrated into HA or NodeRED. I'm just finishing a LoRa device for such an application, there's a lot of work to do, so I thought I'd "shorten it" a bit ;)
@@mama9712 OK, sever hundred meters maybe a little too much. After all this has a small integrated antenna. Maybe an external antenna with better gain the reach could be bigger, but it is not possible with this model.
i had them (the hub and the motion), but i sent them back, because they were just motion and not presence, they loose me if i stood still... but modbus was interesting, as there's not home assistant support, i used the modbus integration to get their sensors in HA... unfortunately, no way to use the rf or ir blasters from HA, so no use for me and both went back... i wanted to control my rf blinders, no way...
Interesting. There is no visible opening for a PIR sensor, this is why I mentioned radar sensor and also assumed presence sensing. Maybe I was wrong. Did not have time for a mire detailed test. But true, more IR and RF triggering wound be useful.
@@csongorvarga unfortunately their support confirmed that's just motion, I put both in front of me, watching videos standing still, the sensor lost me after a bunch of seconds...
@@csongorvarga it could be radar, but it's just motion, not presence... Try, put them even at 50cm in front of you, they'll loose you very soon if you don't move...
eMotion uses a 5.8 GHz radar, not millimeter wave. To achieve presence detection, it must use 24 GHz or 60 GHz radar, which of course will be more costly. I noticed that eMotion's Amazon link mentions 'Motion' and not 'Presence'. Based on my experience, it is a better movement detection sensor than PIR. Also, I have asked the manufacturer, and they will soon release eMotion Pro and eMotion Max, which use 60 GHz millimeter wave radar technology. I am very much looking forward to it.
