Everything Presence Pro Grid is now available directly in HACS. The headline
features: a live overview dashboard card for your Home Assistant dashboards,
an on-device activity heatmap, and text labels for your room layout.
New features
- Overview dashboard card. Add a live map and/or sensor panel for any
Everything Presence Pro Grid device directly to a Home Assistant dashboard.
Configure it through the visual editor — pick the device, choose whether to
show the map, the sensors, or both, and control which sensor groups and map
layers appear. The card heading (Primary and Secondary text) supports Jinja
templates, so it can show live values from any entity. Two display controls
let you tune the map: Show grid turns off the gridlines, zone colours and
occupancy glow for a clean, plain map that still shows live targets and
furniture, and Rest-of-room colour sets the colour of the unpainted area
of the room. The card fills the full width of its dashboard column and lays
out correctly on narrow screens. Non-admin household users can view
dashboards that include this card without needing admin access. Feature

(#295). - Activity heatmap and movement trails. The live view and the overview card
can now show an on-device activity heatmap — a rolling picture of where
movement happens most in the room — plus live movement trails that fade in
behind each target as it moves. Toggle the Heatmap layer on the live
view or in the card editor. Requires updating the device firmware. - Text labels in the furniture layout. Annotate the layout with
free-floating text — room names, captions, notes. Labels scale with the room
and support different fonts, real-world sizing, bold and italic, alignment,
a text colour (with an auto-contrast option), and an optional background
box. - Request a translation. If Everything Presence Pro Grid isn't translated
into your Home Assistant language yet, the panel now shows a dismissible
banner that opens a pre-filled translation request on GitHub — naming your
language so you can ask for it, and offer to help review it
(#301). - WiFi Signal diagnostic. WiFi builds now expose a WiFi Signal (RSSI)
diagnostic entity, so you can read signal strength at the device's mounted
location straight from Home Assistant — the quickest way to tell whether a
device that keeps dropping off the network has a coverage problem. Requires
updating the device firmware.
Improvements
- Furniture resizes proportionally by default. Dragging a corner handle
keeps a furniture item's proportions; the edge handles stretch a single
dimension when you need to match a piece that isn't the preset's shape. - Furniture adapts to the room colour. Furniture icons automatically pick a
light or dark shade so they stay legible whatever rest-of-room colour you
choose. - Overview card: cleaner out-of-coverage cells. Cells outside the sensor's
coverage fade out on the overview card instead of showing cross-hatching.
Fixes
- Dashboard cards refresh themselves after an update. The overview card now
reloads on its own once you update the integration, so it shows the new
version instead of the old one until you manually refresh the browser — the
settings panel already did this. It takes effect from the next update
onward, so updating to this version may still need one hard refresh of the
browser tab. - Overview card keeps its width when you open its settings in the dashboard
editor.
