@DrR0x
Have you got the presence sensor working in any other apps?
I'm assuming you mean a Think smart Hub, e.g the 500?
Yes it works in teams and also when its detect presence it write the time in a log . its the new model ThinkSmart Hub Teams. It is a Luxshare Motion Sensor. running on W11 24h2 IOT Enterprise.
that's a nice device
and expensive 😮
interesting, looks like although I've added it as a type of internal sensor I did not implement it
lemme check why
oh
that's why
I'll do a test build with support added for this sensor but disclaimer, I can't test it as I lack any device with it :D
Most likely tomorrow (wanted to do it now but while the local build succeeded the githubaction didn't - need to figure out why)
Thanks for your support on this 👍 , Yes its a great device bought with luck on ebay for just a stunning price of 250 euro looking forward to test it.
@musicbobo please try this https://github.com/amadeo-alex/HASS.Agent/releases/tag/2.2.0-humanpresence
NOTE: based on 2.2.0-beta1 (includes all 2.1.1 beta versions) - please backup all configuration before trying 😄

Release 2.2.0-humanpresence · amadeo-alex/HASS.Agent
Please do not download files from this "release"
It's only purpose is to provide unstable testing for insiders/issue reporters.
Unless explicitly instructed by the developers, please ...
Thanks Amadeo, the presence sensor did not showed up i did get a new sensor in the list named a orientation sensor.
That's unexpected to say the least
Could you please try this and screenshot me the sensor details? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/sensors/testing-sensor-explorer

How to use SensorExplorer for sensor testing and logging
The tool showed that ....... the proximity sensor is the Human presence sensor so i created a sensor with it and in HA the entity only reports false (it does not change to true if a presence is detected) but it does detect and report something shown in history with no text but only in time, there is no options in HA other then DistanceInMilimeters and Engagement, using Engagement i can use it as on switch but not as off switch when there is no presence. Lenovo use it in MS teams only to wake up the screen when people are detected in the room. So my misstake I guess i was focused on Human Presence or Motion sensor name and was looking for that in HASS.
Amadeo, I restored the none modified version of HASS Agent and it does not showed the proximity sensor so what you changed in the beta 2.2 version solved the issue so please leave the modification in the release version. Thanks for your help on this.
that's interesting
so it's a human presence sensor but it shows as proximity sensor
lol
I'm not sure if I understand everything correctly so brace yourself for questions:
1. does the distance in milimeters show anything at all during the testing?
2. does engagement change or does it stay unknown?
3. "the entity only reports false" in one of the screenshots I can see two colors, blue an yellow, what do they represent? if it reports only false, what are the other values?
