So I've been considering the Z20, even though I've got a Corair K100 right now. The proximity sensor has me very intrigued. I typically leave my system on way too often, and pulling over 300w with just the Oculus app open and idle, it's become costly. the PC won't auto sleep with the Oculus app open, and thats my primary use for this system.
I'm curious about experience with the detection rangee, the software support and customization for it's use.
I'm thinking it might just be better to stick with my K100 and build my own presence detection with a NodeMCU ESP8266 and a TOF sensor. I use microwave motion sensors throughout my house for presence detection, but the range and cone are beyond what would work effectively. I use Home Assistant and could easily create an automation and IoTLink software to put my pc to sleep using mqtt with the esp module after no change in sensor data for, say, 15 minutes.
Does anyone use the TOF sensor on the K20 and can share more details about it? Still waiting on the user manual for it to be uploaded... Thanks.
