Third Reality Smart Presence Sensor R3: Capabilities And Limitations

Based on listed specifications, not hands-on testing. Manufacturer sources are linked where checked.

What it offers

  • A Home Assistant integration is listed, providing an integration path to verify for the exact model. Check the exact integration and firmware. A catalog integration label does not establish local control, official support or available entities. Supported through both ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT. Zigbee2MQTT documents model 3RPL01084Z and exposes occupancy, illuminance, TVOC, the RGB light, presence sensitivity and presence hold time.

What to consider

  • Multi-person detection is listed as unavailable; check the supported occupancy events. Reports a single binary occupancy state, with no person count and no zone or position tracking.

    View Multi Person Detection details →
  • Matter is listed as unsupported; check another documented integration if Matter is essential to your setup. A Zigbee 3.0 device. Neither model 3RPL01084Z nor a Third Reality presence sensor appears in the CSA certified products database, and the manufacturer claims no Matter support. Matter platforms reach it only through the separate Smart Bridge MZ1.
