Originally posted by **mldytech** December 10, 2023 Hi, is there any way to set a temperature in motion preset when there is no presence at all? Right now, the motion state is configured to eco when "no motion" is detected, and to comfort if there is "motion". When nobody is home, the temperature is therefore set to eco. However, I would like to set this to a lower temperature. Thanks and best regards, mldy

Hello, I understand your case but this is not possible to natively use both presence and motion and combine them. But this could be an interesting improvement and I think very simple to do.

What I think is to use the Eco preset temp if present or the Eco_away preset temp if not present. I will keep it as an enhancement issue.

I vote for it :) I had to make a few automations to get around the problem, but it would be better in native mode.
