Presence and moments

Residents are mapped to Home Assistant persons. They are imported on first start and appear on the pinboard in Notes. Tapping a name renames the person. Each person has a colour that follows their notes and their calendar.

Three switches under Settings → Appearance → Ambient & standby, all off by default:

  • Wake on motion. A sensor from Windows & motion brings the panel out of standby.
  • Dark when nobody is home. While every assigned resident is away, standby stays black.
  • Personal greeting. Whoever comes home first is greeted in standby, with their own notes on top.

Small celebrations that do not need a setting for every case:

  • Birthdays from the family calendar show a quiet morning confetti and a line in standby.
  • Special days such as Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Easter can be selected under Settings → Content → Calendar & Reminders → Special days for moments.
  • The first snow of the season is noticed once.
