Home Assistant + mmWave (Room-Level Presence & Automations) – Everything Presence Lite
In this video, I show how to use mmWave presence detection in Home Assistant to create accurate room-level automations using the Everything Presence Lite. We’ll set up zones, build automations, and fix common issues like lights turning off when you’re still in the room.
🎥 Part 2 – CO₂ Module, RGB LED & Air Quality Automation
Take this setup further by adding the optional CO₂ module, wiring up a custom RGB LED, and building an automation that alerts you when air quality drops.
