Great guess! But it was actually a song called Tommy from an artist called Walker.

The Raspberry Pi isn't supported as a sensor right now, but it should be able to act as the device running TOMMY. As long as it has Docker. The interference from running TOMMY is quite low. And if ESP32-C6 (2.4Ghz Wi-Fi 6) or ESP32-C5

Thanks for the questions. 1. As of now it only knows whether there is motion in the zone or not. Actual (x,y) coordinates within the zone are theoretically possible and something I have on the roadmap for 2026. 2. No, it doesn't correl

Thanks! Glad you like it. Honestly, it doesn't stand for anything! A couple years ago I was playing around with the concept and a song came on that mentioned "Tommy" repeatedly. I jokingly started calling it Tommy when talkin

They send packets to and from each other in a mesh network. It's quite small packets and not a large amount of packets a second. For a standard use case (3-4 zones) the interference is quite low on 2.4Ghz, and almost negligible on eith

What really sets TOMMY apart is that it doesn't require line of sight and works through walls. This opens a lot of possibilities. You can create zones spanning multiple rooms without sensors in each room. Instead of traditional room-by

I agree. I'm going to find something more suitable :-) Sounds good. Looking forward to hearing about your results!

You're absolutely right. Thanks for the feedback! "No hub required" is misleading. What I meant was "no additional proprietary hub". Meaning, if you're already running Home Assistant or have a Linux machine, yo
