A presence tracking and sensor aggregation platform for room-level home automation, enabling precise occupancy detection and integration with popular automation suites.
room-assistant is a presence tracking and sensor aggregation platform designed for room-level home automation. It accurately detects room occupancy, even when occupants are stationary, and integrates sensor data to enable intelligent automations for lighting, heating, and media. It solves the problem of unreliable motion-based detection by providing precise, multi-technology presence tracking.
Home automation enthusiasts, IoT developers, and smart home integrators who need reliable room-level presence detection and sensor data aggregation for advanced automation scenarios.
Developers choose room-assistant for its flexibility in supporting multiple detection technologies, seamless integration with popular home automation suites, and its ability to enable precise, personalized automations that traditional motion sensors cannot achieve.
