I have seen several posts but nothing too recent. What are people using for presence detection?

I would like something that is not dependent on bluetooth or a phone/device because my wife and I don’t always have our phone on us. Would love something battery or POE based with a 90 degree field of view. I use zigbee for most of my stuff now (still a newbie) but open to other options.

In a perfect world I would be able to enter my office, based on time of day, the light would come on and depending on day of the week/time my workstation monitors would also come on. Then when I left the room the lights would go off and monitors would go off. Maybe even get my shades to close down the road.

If I can get the kinks worked out, expand it to other rooms.

Note: In the next couple of years we will be building a new home and I am trying to see what I can do now and what I can do later to make the integration hidden (run wires in walls/ceiling… clean install).
