I've got presence sensing within one device or another in probably every room. I've never messed with the templates for this kind of stuff. I wrote some basic scripts a few yrs ago but since rebuilding HA from scratch (bought mini pic, tired of rpi sad burning out) a few months ago, haven't done anything interesting. Did you write yours manually?

Currently I don't have any mmWave sensors outside of my ecobee thermostat so I haven't gone as far as creating lights based on presence. Currently I just use timers, adaptive lighting, and have a couple night lights using PIR sensors and a timer. I have been wanting to get some mmWave sensors but haven't found anything that fits the bill as I want something with an ambient light sensor, mmWave sensor, temp sensor, etc. I have seen the Everything One from Everything Smart Home but at $65 each, I'd be spending a few hundred at least.

Also if you ever want to go back to your RPi, you can use an SSD as your boot drive. I have mine running off this so that I don't have to use a crappy SD card.

Yeah, I have 500 backups in g drive, NAS, local, etc now lol

Are you using the template scripts?
