In room detection of Occupancy

[JDRoberts]

Just wanted to mention that since this thread was started, @mike_maxwell has written a very nice custom smart app to do zone detection using multiple motion sensors. It’s becoming very popular. It doesn’t detect a specific person, but it significantly reduces false positives because all of the sensors assigned to the zone have to trigger at the same time or it doesn’t count as an event.

Smart Zone motion detector (Zone Motion Manager) [Deprecated -- no longer supported]

I built this to solve a number of motion related issues. –Reduction of false motion events in exterior applications (False Motion Reduction) –Represent a group of detectors with a single virtual detector (Motion Aggregation) –Enable a Motion Aggregation zone from various devices, switches, contacts ect (Triggered Activation) This is a parent/child application (like Smart Lighting) where the motion zones are created and edited from the parent application. When a new virtual zone is created, a virtual motion sensor is created for that zone. This virtual motion detector represents the states of the physical motion detectors that you configured for that zone. You can then use that virtual zone device in any applications that accept motion devices. [image] [image] [image] Three co…
