## Configurable Options
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
There are several UI-configurable options with the SuperSensor to help you
 | 
			
		||||
get the most out of the sensor for your particular usecase.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Light Threshold Control
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The SuperSensor features a "light presence" binary sensor based on the light
 | 
			
		||||
level reported by the TSL2591 sensor. This control defines the minimum lux
 | 
			
		||||
value from the sensor to be considered "presence". For instance, if you have
 | 
			
		||||
a room that is usually dark at 0-5 lux, but illuminated to 100 lux when a
 | 
			
		||||
(non-automated) light switch is turned on, you could set a threshold here
 | 
			
		||||
of say 30 lux: then, while the light is on, "light presence" is detected,
 | 
			
		||||
and when the light is off, "light presence" is cleared. Light presence can
 | 
			
		||||
be used standalone or as part of the integrated occupancy sensor (below).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Valid range is 0 lux (always on) to 500 lux, in 5 lux increments.
 | 
			
		||||
Default value is 30 lux.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### PIR Hold Time
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The SuperSensor uses an SR602 PIR sensor, which has a stock hold time of 2.5
 | 
			
		||||
seconds. While this is configurable via a resistor, this is cumbersome.
 | 
			
		||||
Instead, the SuperSensor features a PIR Hold Time control, which allows you
 | 
			
		||||
to set how long you want a PIR trigger to be "held" on. Each new trigger of
 | 
			
		||||
the PIR resets the timer, so as long as a PIR event fires at least this
 | 
			
		||||
often, the "PIR presence" sensor will remain detected.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Valid range is 0 seconds (match PIR) to 60 seconds, in 5 second increments.
 | 
			
		||||
Default value is 15 seconds.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Integrated Occupancy Sensor
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The SuperSensor features a fully integrated "occupancy" sensor, which can be
 | 
			
		||||
configured to provide exactly the sort of occupancy detection you may want
 | 
			
		||||
for your room.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
There are 7 options (plus "None"/disabled), with both "detect" and "clear"
 | 
			
		||||
handled separately:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### PIR + Radar + Light
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Occupancy is detected when all 3 sensors report detected, and occupancy is
 | 
			
		||||
cleared when any of the sensors report clearered.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For detect, this provides the most "safety" against misfires, but requires
 | 
			
		||||
a normally-dark room with a non-automated light source and clear PIR
 | 
			
		||||
detection positioning.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For clear, this option is probably not very useful as it is likely to clear
 | 
			
		||||
quite frequently from the PIR, but is provided for completeness.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### PIR + Radar
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Occupancy is detected when both sensors report detected, and occupancy is
 | 
			
		||||
cleared when either of the sensors report cleared.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For detect, this provides good "safety" against PIR misfires without
 | 
			
		||||
needing a normally-dark room, though detection may be slightly delayed
 | 
			
		||||
from either sensor.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For clear, this option is probably not very useful as it is likely to clear
 | 
			
		||||
quite frequently from the PIR, but is provided for completeness.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### PIR + Light
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Occupancy is detected when both sensors report detected, and occupancy is
 | 
			
		||||
cleared when either of the sensors report cleared.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For detect, this provides some "safety" against PIR misfires, but requires
 | 
			
		||||
a normally-dark room with a non-automated light source and clear PIR
 | 
			
		||||
detection positioning.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For clear, this option is probably not very useful as it is likely to clear
 | 
			
		||||
quite frequently from the PIR, but is provided for completeness.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### Radar + Light
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Occupancy is detected when both sensors report detected, and occupancy is
 | 
			
		||||
cleared when either of the sensors report cleared.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For detect, this allows for radar detection while suppressing occupancy
 | 
			
		||||
without light, for insance in a hallway where one might not want a late
 | 
			
		||||
night bathroom visit to turn on the lights, or something to that effect.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For clear, this option can provide a useful option to clear presence
 | 
			
		||||
quickly if the lights go out, while still providing Radar presence.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### PIR Only
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Occupancy is based entirely on the PIR sensor for both detect and clear.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Prone to misfires, but otherwise a good option for quick detection and
 | 
			
		||||
clearance in a primarily-moving zone (e.g. hallway).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### Radar Only
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Occupancy is based entirely on the Radar sensor for both detect and clear.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Useful for an area with no consistent motion or light level.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### Light Only
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Occupancy is based entirely on the Light sensor for both detect and clear.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Useful for full dependence on an external light source.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### None
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Disable the functionality in either direction.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For detect, no occupancy will ever fire.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For clear, no states will clear occupancy; with any detect option, this
 | 
			
		||||
means that occupancy will be detected only once and never clear, which
 | 
			
		||||
is likely not useful.
