Aayush Arya Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 You may want to look into RoomMe for occupancy detection. If you do, let us know how it goes. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk alanchow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcovach Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 There is a driver for it on drivercentral for anyone that is interested. https://drivercentral.io/platforms/control4-drivers/security-systems/roomme/ alanchow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic30101 Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Ordered and on its way to test. Will report back, a majority of the solutions I was seeing were commercial applications with high monthly fees due to advanced analysis that I wouldn't need though following someone through a floorplan would be really fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdepaola Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I really, really like the idea of RoomMe. The problem is its huge! Can't wait for them to come up with a version that can install flush in the wall/ceiling or very downsized. Interested though in your review.

I contacted RoomMe a month ago and they are working on a new smaller version that will be available at end of the year, I will wait till the new hardware comes out, but that’s me. Am sure Alan’s driver is flawless, never got any driver from chowmain that is not performing. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turls Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 The RoomMe sensors are on sale right now, but no sign yet of a smaller version. I'm still waiting, as the way these work, it seems like you don't get a room exit until another beacon picks you up, so it is probably going to be pretty hard to pick only certain rooms to have a beacon in.

Sorry for late response. This was my experience as well, however I was able to successfully create an experimental "follow me". I don't use it much because I feel that it would only work really well if you're the only one in the house. I don't want to maintain other people's phones etc to make sure it's setup correctly.
