Linptech ES1 - How to make it work

Only user devices appear as "presence device"- phone or tablet types. Motion sensors, and the whole notion of "motion" seems like a mis-match to what these devices are supposed to do. They sense physical motion, which is what PIRs do, but they are also intended to detect sustained human presence and then that presence becoming absent...

Hubitat already had a presence/absence capability before these devices became generally available.

It refers to presence in the sense of “at home” vs. “away from home.” I don’t think they intend to change that paradigm (though I don’t work for Hubitat so can’t say anything with certainty).

That distinction can’t be forced on community developers though, so some choose to make use of the presence capability for mmWave sensors in a non-standard (for Hubitat) manner.

Also my first try at HPM. No offense to contributors, but Im not a fan as it didnt work and I gave up. Importing drivers from a git url is fine by me.

Probably not worth cluttering up this thread with possible HPM troubleshooting steps, but if you’re interested, this thread can almost certainly get you going with HPM. Don’t worry about reading the whole thing, just post at the end with some more specifics re: the issue you were having.

Copying GitHub URLs isn’t difficult, but HPM can become a helpful time saver if you get to the point of using a lot of community developed drivers or apps.
