Whats your idea?
Adding a feature that allows to exclude specific regions in the fov of the mmwave sensor to be prohibited from occupation detection.
Example:
If AIOsense is mounted in the bedroom, it would be useful to remove the bed from occupation detection, so the light in the room will turn off if i lie in bed.
With zones, it could turn on the bedside lamp and turn off the ceiling lamp.
The aquara FP2 sensor for example can do something like that, but a little more advanced.
Hi @HiTilt-FPV,
thank you for your input. You can try #112 which introduced up to 4 distance zones. Works ok-ish in my tests.
Zoning like the FP2 is really advanced and I don't know any mmWave sensor we could support to add this feature. If you know/find one, please let me know :)
Hi @Schluggi,
as you suggested, i installed the version with distance zones yesterday. But i could not figure out what they do exactly! The new version gives up to 8 slider bars for configuring start and end distances for up to four zones. But where do i get the output which of the four zones is actually occupied?
I can only activate the following sensors:
- 4x Target (binary sensors which seem to detect different persons)
- 4x Target distance (gives the distance measured to one of the targets)
- 4x Target SNR (target signal to noise... did not test it, but since it's SNR i bet it shows how "good/strong" the targed is detected or visible for the sensor)
- Distance Zone Status (this only tells me if the configured zones were successfully sent to the sensor. i do not get anything else from it.)
Hi,
ESPHome 2023.11.0 has been released today which includes direct support for sen0395 and also includes section configuration.
Cheers
Thank you @florianmulatz for the update info. I'll add this soon. I just thinking, what would be the best way to implement...
