✨ Feature List¶

Magic Areas can do a lot more than presence sensing! Below is a list of built-in features grouped by category.

🧠 Smart Groups¶

Entities grouped with presence-aware automation logic.

💡 Light Groups Automatically controls lights per area using presence, darkness, sleep, and more.
🌀 Fan Groups Dynamically manages fans in each area based on presence and occupancy. Includes support for multi-speed fans.
🌡️ Climate Groups Automatically control climate devices and maps area states to climate presets.

Passive entity grouping for easier control.

🪟 Cover Groups Groups all cover entities (e.g. blinds, shades, garage doors) using cover.group.
📺 Media Player Groups Groups all media_player entities using media_player.group.

Sensor logic, tracking, and hazard detection.

📍 BLE Tracker Sensors Adds support for BLE presence sensors (e.g., Bermuda, ESPresence, Room Assistant). Automatically maps tracked devices to areas.
📊 Aggregation Creates aggregate sensor or binary_sensor for supported device classes (e.g., temperature, humidity, occupancy).
🚨 Health Sensor Creates a binary sensor per area to represent health problems (e.g., leaks, smoke, gas).
🐝 Wasp in a Box Adds intelligent presence logic using motion + door sensors to infer room occupancy even when closed.

🔉 Area-Aware Media Player A smart proxy media_player that plays TTS only in occupied areas. Great for room-aware voice alerts.

⏸️ Presence Hold Adds a manual switch to override presence state to occupied, with optional auto-reset timer.
