What Home Assistant support means for presence sensors

Home Assistant is open-source home automation software that runs on your own hardware. Devices connect through integrations, which can be local or cloud-based.

Values come from the specification record for each model. Where a manufacturer source has been checked for this field, the evidence column links to it; otherwise the value is an unverified catalog record. Confirm the exact model, region and firmware before buying.

Before you buy

Home Assistant setup checklist

  1. Home Assistant runs on a computer you provide, such as a mini PC, a Raspberry Pi or Home Assistant Green.
  2. Zigbee, Z-Wave and Thread devices need a matching radio, for example a USB coordinator dongle or a Thread border router.
  3. Integrations differ in whether they work locally or through the manufacturer cloud. Check the integration before relying on offline control.
