Windows and motion

Every room can show a status strip at the bottom right: windows open or closed, motion or presence. The values come live from Home Assistant.

Window and door contacts and motion or presence detectors found during setup. Settings → Home → Windows & motion → Choose sensors shows one card per room and one switch per sensor. Everything found is on to begin with. A button returns a room to automatic assignment.

  • All quiet when nothing is open and nobody moves.
  • Otherwise a summary that names windows and doors apart, for example “1 window open”, “2 doors open” or “1 window open, 1 door open”. Hauser takes the kind from the sensor’s Home Assistant device class: door and garage_door are doors, window and opening are windows. A contact whose class Hauser does not know yet counts as a window. The count is per room: a room with two open windows adds one window.
  • On the phone, a room card shows “Window open” and “Door open” as separate notes. The heating warning in the room names the door when only a door is open.
  • The strip is a button that opens a list with one line per sensor, its room and its state.
  • Rooms without an assigned sensor keep the strip as a plain display.
  • The same detectors can wake the panel from standby.
  • Rules for open windows or motion can become notifications.
