00:00:00 – 00:11:07

The video reviews a groundbreaking multi-functional sensor called the Everything Presence One, created by a YouTuber. This sensor excels at detecting light, temperature, humidity, and even minute movements like breathing, due to its combination of a Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor and a millimeter-wave sensor. Its high sensitivity and adjustable detection range make it ideal for precise home automation tasks. Additionally, the video introduces the River 2 power station from EcoFlow, known for its portability and fast charging capabilities, useful for maintaining power during outages. The speaker showcases various automation setups in different home areas, including the studio, master bathroom, and kitchen, highlighting the sensor's ease of integration with Home Assistant and simple assembly facilitated by a PCB board designed by Lewis from "Everything Smart Home." Despite its current pre-order sell-out status, more units will be available soon. The segment concludes with a lighthearted "freeze game" with the speaker's dad.

In this part of the video, the reviewer discusses a revolutionary new sensor that has amazed them with its capabilities. Created by a YouTuber, the sensor—named the Everything Presence One—combines multiple functionalities, including sensing light, temperature, and humidity. However, its standout feature is the combination of a millimeter-wave sensor and a Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor. While the PIR sensor detects motion, the millimeter-wave sensor can detect minute movements, such as breathing, making it highly sensitive and accurate. The reviewer demonstrates the sensor’s adjustable detection range and sensitivity, showcasing its precision in a controlled environment. The sensor accurately detects movement from specific distances and adapts well to its surroundings, proving its high level of accuracy and reliability.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses the responsiveness and accuracy of a motion sensor that doesn’t require a direct line of sight. They demonstrate its effectiveness by creating an automation where movement triggers changes in a light bulb and a timer. Despite occasional false positives, the sensor, combined with a PIR sensor, excels at detecting room presence and is ideal for home automations. Additionally, the creator introduces the River 2 power station from EcoFlow, highlighting its portability, fast charging capability, and use as a backup power source during outages, ensuring continuous operation of devices like CPAP machines and sound machines.

In this segment, the speaker discusses using a USBC and the durability of a sensor device. They demonstrate setting up lights automation in their studio using a PIR sensor and millimeter wave technology to ensure lights only turn on or off when not needed. They then move to the master bathroom, where the sensor can be hidden yet still effectively automate lights and music based on motion and humidity. Lastly, in the kitchen, the sensor addresses the issue of motion detection by accurately determining presence, enabling tasks like notifying when the garage door is open or automatically playing music.

In this segment, the speaker discusses a highly accurate sensor that can be easily installed in various rooms of the house. The sensor stands out due to its slight assembly requirement, but the process is made simple thanks to a PCB board designed by Lewis from the YouTube channel “Everything Smart Home.” Unlike the original prototype, which required soldering, this new design involves merely snapping the board into a case and placing sensors on pins. The sensor connects solely to Home Assistant and is easy to integrate by connecting it to power via USB-C and using a Wi-Fi network. Although the sensors are currently sold out for pre-order, more will be available soon. The segment concludes with the speaker engaging in a playful “freeze game” with their dad.
