Home Assistant And Node-RED Lighting Automation With ESPresence Detection
In this video, we show you how to configure Node-Red in Home Assistant to automate your lighting and make use of presence detection We want lights to be turned on when it's dark so first we set up a rule that allows us to know if it's night time For rooms where people don't stay long i.e. transit areas, we'll use a motion sensor to detect movement and turn the lights on, then use a timer to turn the lights off when movement is no longer detected Because motion sensors are not good at detecting presence, we use ESPresence to track which rooms people are in This allows us to create room occupancy sensors to tell us which rooms are occupied which allows us to adapt our lighting rules to only turn lights off if a room is empty Because there are times of year when it's dark in the morning, we use an additional rule to turn lights off after sunrise ESPresence compatible hardware Base Stations: https://amzn.to/3JaAnd1 Cables: https://amzn.to/3wqYYCE Apple Watch: https://amzn.to/3WvKM6j Xiaomi Mi Band 5: https://amzn.to/3XQDiM0 Philips Hue Dusk-to-Dawn Motion Sensor: https://amzn.to/40gVKiJ NOTE: I am part of the Amazon affiliate program and may earn commission through Amazon website links if used.
