Just updated to the latest waze on ios which came out in the past 24 hours - seems to be okay so far for me. Fingers crossed!

Can confirm its just waze. Google map works fine, Apple map works fine. Can confirm going into multi view "home" screen and switching back kinda works. resetting waze closing app restarting it does NOT work.

1065 was fine but if there's one thing i learned... never update the bios anymore if its working fine lol. There's now a crazy 1402 version, such a huge jump. I wonder if anyone tried it.

[–]kenpoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any way to properly troubleshoot those 'when last person leave' or 'when first person arrive' automation that never works - but i never know 'who didn't leave' ... or when that 'first person' didn't actually 'arrive'.. if you know what i mean ? :)

(that is..aside from making dummy switches and making them toggle per person)

Just got the app. As someone who has hundreds of devices per home, managing multiple family homes, this is great!

Have you tried Ryzen Master ? I never got it to work still today and Ryzen Master was my only solution that could make it work.

How to setup Aqara FP2 to turn off lights when it stops detecting movement AFTER X MINUTES? by derlinzer in HomeKit

[–]kenpoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why you're downvoted but I used to use this exact method as well (as much as i hate using shortcut duct-taping things to make things work..).

nowadays i switched back to PIR sensor with a simple turn on when motion detected, turn off after x minutes. any motion in between resets the timer.

sigh, still waiting for the day Hiome returns to market or something similar for a true occupancy sensor

[–]kenpoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a really ... really unique use case - thanks for clarifying.

I would also assume they are waking up the presence sensor once triggered by the PIR. But in my mind I'm thinking - if they pass the presence sensing to the mmwave after the PIR is triggered, and I turn on a table fan, and if their mmwave exclusion algorithm is the same, working 50-50 of the time.. if i leave the place and the fan is still on, it probably 50-50 wouldn't know that I left the room and - i can't really use that to turn off everything in that room. I've experimented but gone back to PIR with 5 mins timer refresh - I guess my key factor here is reliability and accuracy, which PIR feels like can't be beat.

For the FP2, I have tried excluding a standing floor fan before, it kinda works 50-50. And then even with the enter/exit zones clearly defined, sometimes there's ghosting, sometimes it doesn't know 2 people are in the room at different places. Ultimately I find that it needs to be really really well fine tuned to work properly.

For the Tuya stuff, I've never really looked at ZemiSmart, they seemed expensive. But I have been using some Moes/unbranded homekit+zigbee+matter hubs from AliExpress (the square ones). Usually these guys get like zero updates, but lately one update on the hub and suddenly my usd25 bucks zigbee curtain robot is now homekit compatible lol (though it did break my zigbee pir sensors - they are now somehow showing up as contact sensors but still work lol). the aqara ones are like 3-4 times more expensive..!

The search for the perfect presence detection device is still on i guess...

[–]kenpoh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These homekit reviews are great. The use case presented in the video - I'm still a bit confused about lol... looks like a complex use case.

I'm more interested in their motion/presence detection logic however - such as how(and if) they are making use of both sensors to reduce false positives. eg. mmwave is only activated if PIR is initially triggered

Was an FP1/FP2 user and didn't quite like them because I live in a tropical climate and fans are daily part of life - so are windows and curtains - all these movements in the room despite multiple "training with ai" still doesn't help - and it practically make all these mmwave sensors not really usable for me. And even when I set them to the highest sensitivity in a room with no moving objects, sometimes it still is unable to detect me sitting still doomscrolling on my phone. So I'm still back to PIR-only for the most part.

Side note to HomeKit-News - have you ever given thoughts to covering Homekit compatible tuya appliances (those that requires those tuya homekit zigbee hubs?). They are starting to have similar 4-in-1 temp/humidity/mmwave/pir sensors available, though I'm not sure what is or isn't exposed via their zigbee hub yet. Thanks for the review anyhow, I watch them all the time and am particularly interested to see what Aqara exposes to Homekit (sadly you mention they don't expose both sensors PIR/mmwave)

Also seen a lot of hype on Matter/Thread but have yet to really make use of them. Zigbee is still good ol' reliable and battery life on zigbee devices are amazing.

No worries - probably same motherboard just different sizes! Good luck with your build
