Blue Presence Sense Questions

I might be missing this on the parameters page, but I want to COMPLETELY decouple the physical controls, mmwave detection, lux, LOAD, etc from the on-board logic, and just have hass completely handle all logic. I see that there is the ability to set to smart bulb, and lock out local physical, but nothing that let’s you have all of it.

Use case: All the lights in my bathroom are smart bulbs EXCEPT in the shower. I figured it would be a no-brainer to attach this new switch to that circuit, since all the rest are already automated Hue bulbs. I want to be able to hit the paddle to control the room, but only via hass. I do not want to completely disable the load control – just de-couple it.

Is anyone aware of a parameter that can help with that?

oh and in an ideal world, where the switch loses connectivity to the zigbee controller, it defaults to local control of the load (if configured to do so.)

Moved to a new topic as the post was neither a bug report nor enhancement request.

It’s not clear what you’re trying to de-couple. Do you just want to prevent the switch from turning on the wired load when it detects motion? If so, disable P110, Light on Presence Behavior.

If you only want paddle presses to send scene commands and not control the wired load, then disable local control.

Those two basically make the switch a scene controller and you can predicate whatever automations you want based on its paddle presses and motion detections.

Ah that was it. Based on the description it seemed like local protection completely disabled the paddle. Not just the load control via paddle. Thank you for that.

I assume there’s no way to have a fallback-to-local when the controller is unreachable, right?

Not that I’m aware of.
