Will not let me adjust the mmWave sensitivity for the EP1

[briandonna]

The app will not let me change the “mmWave sensitivity”. When I try to change it and then save it, it says “Missing entity mmwave_sensitivity” Even though it has a value in the box (In my case a 6) the default is a 7.

Any Idea what may be the problem and how to fix it?

Here is a Diagnostics Report if that helps in any way: 1f3aee33-bb42-4d38-b954-7a42182f553c

Thank You for your time and help!

The same here, and also the mmwave distance "missing entity mmwave_distance".

This is a brand new EP1-FULL-01
and using it with Homey.

ESPHome version 2024.5.2
Project version 1.2.3

Same Problems here:

• missing entity mmwave_distance when changing the distance
• missing entity mmwave_sensitivity when changing the sensitivity

I believe you are running newer firmware than tested with (see readme for compatible firmware versions), and probably some breaking changes have been introduced.

[bjoern247]

@RobinBol Yes. I ordered the sensor and you can only install this software and not manually install older software.
I can't really change that. Except you know some way where I can select something else than beta or stable here:

You should be able to pull older firmware from here, not sure about the installation instructions though.

Hi Robin, I have read all the changes and v1.1.8 https://github.com/EverythingSmartHome/everything-presence-one/releases/tag/1.1.8 is labeled as a breaking change, see here; (##Breaking change I've marked this as a breaking change, but it's purely because if you have "baseline" numbers in your automations for when the light should come on at a certain lux value, this release will change that baseline figure and will need adjusting.). How much of a donation would it cost to get you to update the app? I will pay ASAP. Thank you Brian

It looks like this is the last vision before the breaking version v1.3.0b; https://github.com/EverythingSmartHome/everything-presence-one/releases/tag/v1.3.0b It has two downloads, Source code(zip), and https://github.com/EverythingSmartHome/everything-presence-one/archive/refs/tags/v1.3.0b.zip Source code(tar.gz) https://github.com/EverythingSmartHome/everything-presence-one/archive/refs/tags/v1.3.0b.tar.gz which one do I use and how do I install it manually? I do not know how to install it manually. I still would like to pay you to update the app so we all can use it as intended. If you do not thank you what to take on the task, would you mind if I get one of my programmers I use to web development to get the app up to date? Thank You Brian

I would also like to donate to get this updated.

[bjoern247]

By the way, also flows that use "AND"-Cards which check if the mmWave-Alert is still on are failing because of these breaking changes. Sadly it's not just some sensor settings but also flows are unusable. I did not find a way to update to older firmware.

[briandonna]

Hi Robin,

It's been 3 weeks now since our last commutation about the app not working properly, your fix was to do a backward Firmware update, but there are multiple problems with this recommended fix, 1 – I don’t see a way from the Everything Smart site to select an older Firmware, 2 – the millimeter wave board he is now using needs to use one of the newer firmware then your last one that you recommend, 3 – we need the bug fixes and the update of the newer firmware’s to take advantage of the options that are now available.

From what I can find there is only one Firmware version v1.1.8 that will break your code and it is stated in this version see below and here: https://github.com/EverythingSmartHome/everything-presence-one/releases/tag/1.1.8

(v1.1.8
This release adds calibration data for the light sensor to drastically improve the readings with the front cover on.

##Breaking change
I've marked this as a breaking change, but it's purely because if you have "baseline" numbers in your automations for when the light should come on at a certain lux value, this release will change that baseline figure and will need adjusting.)

If you would please let us know if you have any plans to get the app updated or if you are abandoning any and all updates. I would like to buy more of this presence sensor but the drivers need to work first or there is no point.
I and others are willing to donate funds for your time to get this app up to date.

Please let us know if we will have a functional app in the near future.

Thanks
Brian

I've submitted an issue with the firmware developer: EverythingSmartHome/everything-presence-one#197

Once I know what breaking changes were introduced I can take a look at fixing it.

[EverythingSmartHome]

Happy to help with whatever is needed to get this back up and working properly

[briandonna]

Hi Robin,
Do you have an update as to when you think you will have this app fixed? it’s been three weeks now since Lois responded to your questions as what it would take to fix the app and he even offered to help fix it but there’s been no comment back from you. Would you please respond and let us know when you plan to have the app operational.

Thank you, Brian.

I'm not entirely sure why the entities mmwave_distance and mmwave_sensitivity are missing on your EP1's with SEN0609.

If I understand correctly from @EverythingSmartHome's comment, only additional entities have been added. So the two above should still be available.

I am not really fluent in esphome config, but a quick search for mmwave_sensitivity in the EverythingSmartHome/everything-presence-one repo gives me hits for SEN0609 related config:

• https://github.com/EverythingSmartHome/everything-presence-one/blob/7314da04d30a07edabcb386f4afedb2dcc0c0bcf/everything-presence-one-st-sen0609.yaml#L368
• https://github.com/EverythingSmartHome/everything-presence-one/blob/7314da04d30a07edabcb386f4afedb2dcc0c0bcf/common/sen0609-common.yaml#L214

This would make me think that the mmwave_sensitivity entity and therefore the "mmWave sensitivity" setting in Homey should work as expected.

Is someone able to run my app from this branch using the Homey CLI and share the whole console output after it has connected with your EP1? It should give me data on the available entities.

Make sure to run npm ci to install the app's dependencies and run homey app run -r if you are on Homey Pro (Early 2023).
