hey all, i have recently been looking to start installing presence sensors around the house and am eyeing up the everything presence light but am unsure whether to buy it as i have a dog and plan to use the pir sensors to trigger automations and mmwave sensors to keep them running but as the lite has no pir sensor that makes things a little harder can anyone with the eplight/pets give any feedback?
FYI Everything Smart Home has their own Discord server and sections for the EP1 and EPLite. You’ll probably get more useful answers there.
I just setup my EP Lite, and I don’t know that I notice the lack of PIR. The main reason to use PIR + mmWave is for “faster” recognition of motion. The EP Lite picks me up as a target within a second or so, so unless you need sub-second motion response, you might not need the PIR at all. That said, your environmental conditions and needs are unique to you, so the only way to really know is probably to buy one and see if it works for you. But if you think the PIR is important the EP One is the better choice.
