Integrating ESPresense with Homey for Room Presence Tracking

Hey everyone, I’m thrilled to share my recent project integrating ESPresense with Homey to track room presence! :tada:

For a while, I was missing a feature that could detect who’s in a room and automate actions based on that. After some research, I found out that ESPresense, a system that tracks the distance to a phone or smartwatch, could be the solution. So, I decided to bring this functionality into Homey!

Here’s how it works: ESPresense detects the distance to a device, and based on that, you can trigger flows. For example, if I’m in the living room, the lights automatically adjust to my preferred settings. It’s incredibly personalized and adds a whole new layer of smart automation to my home.

Right now, the integration is awaiting approval, but I wanted to share my progress. I’ve documented the steps in detail on my blog, which you can check out here. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or suggestions!

I’m really excited about the possibilities this opens up. Imagine being able to track who’s in each room and automate everything from lighting to temperature. The potential is huge!

Let me know what you think about this integration or if you’ve tried something similar. I’d love to hear your feedback! :hugs:
