Hi, our plasterboard ceiling is removed so it’s the right moment to add some cables and some hardware before adding plasterboard again. Do you know a good motion sensor of human présence sensor for mounting in the ceiling ?

I took the Everything Presence One sensor from @EverythingSmartHome and made it even better, with a custom 3D printed ceiling mount and PoE power. Perfect presence sensing for every room.

BUT, you should be aware that if you use something custom like in the video it can cause issues with the fire rating of the ceiling

#

specially if there is "habitable room above"

#

you can get stuff that's designed to fix this issue but they are not cheap. THESE are designed for ceiling speakers but would work or at least give you an idea of what i mean
