Expose if room (device) has presence
From what I can tell room-assistant doesn't package up the sensors for a single node that indicates if the room has presence or not. It would be great if that could happen. It would also be great if this presence could then be reflected as an MQTT topic via Home Assistant Core.
I would love something like this. For now I've to go through a lot of hoops to figure out if a room is occupied and by how many devices.
For the binary presence information I just use template sensors in HA, but getting the count might be difficult with the templating language. I think adding a sensor per room that has the device count as state would bring the most value. Thanks for the idea!
Thank you for the time and consideration. Cheers!
I'm using node-red for my room presence tracking
I’m doing kind of the same, only I made it work generic by making input_number.[room_name] and making node red decide what to do, increment or decrement the number of devices in a specific room.

Thats kinda cool - this was my first node red project, and I just wanted to know if someone was in the room, amount of people doesn't bother me... yet
